President Obama's proposed $50 Billion public works plan has become the latest object of partisan-fueled disaffection.  Democratic governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Republican South Carolina governor Mark Sanford take turns exchanging viewpoints on whether spending is the answer to a stagnant job market.

Commentator Deroy Murdock says the President’s proposed $50 billion public works plan is music to conservatives’ ears…but not in the way you might think; just more evidence that the economy has been subject to too many stimulus packages.

We listen back to the last conversation of comedian Robert Schimmel on the program, who passed away this week due to injuries from an auto accident.

R&B singer El DeBarge, shares his story of addiction, prison and ultimately redemption as he returns to the music scene with a new song and forthcoming CD, Second Chance.
