National Book Festival: Author and TV Newsman Bob Schieffer

Washington Post, United States - Among them will be Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent, anchor of Face The Nation and author of the new book Bob Schieffer's America. He was online Monday, September 15 at 2 p.m. ET to talk about his books, the latest political news and his preparations for moderating one of this fall's presidential debates. And if you ask nicely, he'll probably tell you about his second career as a country music artist.

Bob Schieffer: Hi everyone, thanks for joining us. I'm here because I've got a new book out, "Bob Schieffer's America." It is a collection of the commentaries I've done since 1994 at the end of each "Face the Nation" broadcast. But I'm happy to talk to you about that or anything else you may have on your minds, so fire away.
