A Truce in Washington's Partisan War?
The economic recovery shows signs that it’s gaining traction with a strong jobs number out this week. But does Washington’s partisan war threaten those gains? Is our government working as it should? Was Sen. Rand Paul’s marathon filibuster just another sign of D.C. dysfunction, or did it work? And were meetings this week between President Obama and Congressional Republicans a sign of a break in their icy relationship, or just more political theater? We’ll have a special discussion with current and former members of Congress. Joining us: Sen. Tim Kaine , Sen. Tom Coburn , freshman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Rep. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, fmr. Rep. Joe Scarborough

ABC This Week
The "This Week" powerhouse roundtable debates President Obama's new charm offensive, Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster fight, and the battle over the budget and immigration, Sunday on "This Week."

After weeks of stalemate over automatic spending cuts, President Obama stepped up his outreach to Republicans this week, hosting dinner with key GOP senators, and sharing lunch with Rep. Paul Ryan. Will the new dining diplomacy make a difference in making Washington work? Can any breakthroughs be made over immigration reform and a long-term deal on the budget? And did Sen. Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster start an important conversation over drones, while scrambling partisan divides on national security – or was it a meaningless stunt?

The powerhouse roundtable debates those topics and all the week's politics, with Sen. Ron Johnson R-Wis., who joined GOP senators dining with President Obama this week; DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz D-Fla.; ABC News' George Will Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Bloomberg News White House correspondent Julianna Goldman

Plus, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush co-author of the new book, "Immigration Wars," goes one-on-one with George Stephanopoulos. Will his seeming reversal on creating a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants hurt his standing on immigration reform? And as the GOP works to reboot its image, can the man with the famous last name lead his party in a new direction, or is the country not ready for another Bush presidential run in 2016?

And in this week's Sunday Spotlight, filmmaker R.J. Cutler discusses his latest documentary, "The World According to Dick Cheney," featuring extensive interviews with the former vice president who Cutler calls "as significant a non-presidential political figure this country has ever known."

Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida made headlines in the past week after acknowledging he would be open to a run for the White House in 2016. But the renewed attention on Mr. Bush has been mixed. His book on immigration reform is dividing a Republican Party that is trying to connect with Latino voters. Mr. Bush is doing damage control, and will be featured on almost all of this week’s Sunday shows.
