The Rise of the Grown-ups: Hillary Clinton and Bob Gates on Sunday Morning TV

The experienced members of the Obama cabinet will appear on Face the Nation and Meet the Press Sunday morning. This comes in the run up to Hillary Clinton's participation on Tuesday in a meeting about Libya called by the UK and to be held in London. It precedes President Obama's address to the nation about the situation in Libya scheduled for Monday. Wednesday, HRC, Gates, and Admiral Mike Mullen, head of the Joint Chiefs, will testify before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

I am a little confused about how this administration works. The secretaries explain, then the president proclaims. Odd. It is usually the reverse, is it not? Never do today what you can put off to Monday! Hey! It's all cool! (Isn't it?)
