The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up - this afternoon, President Obama surprised reporters at the daily
briefing by addressing his comments about the arrest of Professor Gates from
Wednesday. What did he say, and what are the political ramifications? We'll ask
Atlantic Media Political Director Ron Brownstein and Dominic Carter, New York 1
Senior Political Reporter and Host of "Inside City Hall."

Next up - the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Gates has managed to trump even
the divisive healthcare debate in the headlines. Rev. Eugene Rivers and The New
York Times Charles Blow will be here to discuss the facts surrounding the case.

Plus - Birther Blather. We've recently exposed some notable figures who have
raised questions about the authenticity of the President's citizenship, but
some conservatives are coming out against their rebel rousing peers. Bob
Tyrrell, Founder and Editor in Chief of The American Spectator, plays Hardball
tonight to explain his perspective.

And finally, in the Politics Fix, Sunday marks the last day of Governor Sarah
Palin's term in office. Here to discuss the Governor's political future, along
with the politics of the Gates arrest are MSNBC Political Analysts Michael
Smerconish and Michelle Bernard.
