WASHINGTON--President Obama, on five Sunday shows:
*Is undecided on increasing troop levels in Afghanistan
*Insisted there are no tax boosts in his health care propsals though there is debate over this.
*Downplayed assertions, one from former President Jimmy Carter, that racism is at the core of criticism of him.

*Scolded television bookers for making stars out of people who engage in "rude" behavior rather than civil discourse. My story on this here.

It's amazing how Chris Wallace of Fox News, and the whole Fox News crew acted like they were so surprised President Obama granted a Sunday morning interview with every major Sunday talk show except Fox News.
