At the top of our agenda this week, weak job growth, down stock market. How much more pain in the economy? Oil in the Gulf. Environmental and political problems continue to spread for the White House. Plus, what do this week’s primary election results really mean? Our “Washington Watch” newsmakers, two top economists, Michael Ettlinger, from the Center for American Progress; and Peter Morici from the University of Maryland, talk job creation, the deficit, Wall Street, and how it all affects your bottom line.

Plus, Texas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson shares what’s being done to save struggling homeowners from losing their homes.

In our “Washington Watch” roundtable: April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks; Karen Finney, Democratic political strategist and MSNBC contributor; Robert Traynham, host of “Roll Call TV” on the Comcast Network; and Van Jones, former White House Green Jobs Czar and senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

All that and more in this weeks edition of the Washington Watch Video Podcast.

When are our Black leaders going to “seriously” address the many young Black youths who are being incarcerated for many years for offenses that White youths either do juvenile hall or short jail time? Thank you.

Incidently, I don’t miss your program for nothing or anyone. My grandchildren know not to call me until after 12 noon on Sunday’s. Your guest are knowledgeable and varied in opinions and you are the best moderator. I loved you on CNN, but can’t say enough about your program. God bless you and keep speaking your mind.
