Obama's Budget: Left, Right or Center? (audio)

Banner image: President Obama makes his point to Lawrence Summers (L), head of the National Economic Council, and Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag (2nd L), during a Saturday budget meeting in the President's first week in office. Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff, is seated to Obama's left.

"Left, Right and Center" (KCRW, audio-29:00):
Hosts: Arianna Huffington,Tony Blankley, Matt Miller and Robert Scheer. Is Obama's budget the most ambitious economic plan in decades? Does it lay out the building blocks for the 21st century economy? Could it do more to reduce defense spending? Also, Citibank's latest bailout. Could the banks be Obama's Achilles heel? Plus, Jindal's stunning debut and the future of the GOP.
Howie P.S.: The panelists apply their own "stress tests" to Obama's budget, as well to his other proposals. They can't agree whether Obama's policies put him to the "left," the "right" or to the "center."
