The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, President Obama comments on the Gates arrest.
Last night, during the President's press conference on health care, President
Obama took time to comment on the arrest of renowned black scholar Henry Louis
Gates, Jr. President Obama described the action by the police officers as
'stupidly' and may have set off a storm. We'll discuss the remarks with Chicago
Sun Times reporter and origin of the Gates question last night Lynn Sweet and
New York Times reporter Helene Cooper.

Next up, the last days of the Bush Administration.
Through eight years of the Presidency, President George W. Bush and Vice
President Dick Cheney seemed unified on all issues except for one; the fate of
Scooter Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Cheney. In a new
article, Time Magazine explores the last days of the Bush Administration and
reveals the conflict between President Bush and Vice President Cheney over
pardoning Scooter Libby. Assistant Managing Editor for Time Magazine Michael
Duffy and Mother Jones Bureau Chief David Corn will join us to talk about the
article.
