josh powell and his boys. first as we do every morning, we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. syria undersiege as government forces bombard its own citizens. >> we need to defend operations at our embassy. >> the assad regime is killing his own people. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> los angeles replaces the entire staff of an elementary school in the midst of a widening abuse scandal. >> after the arrest of two teachers charged with lewd contact. >> they're covering up something. that's why they don't want the media team there. the obama campaign is return 2g $00,000 that is linked to a mexican casino owner facing drug charges. the white house answers campaign finance questions and flip-flops on controversial super pac donations. authorities say josh powell tried to kill his sons before he set the fire. the children had net neck and

head injuries. >> there were too many warning signs. he destroyed the evidence because those guys could have been the best evidence zbrepts him. >> it was fear under the big top as a motorcycle stunt goes extremely wall. they've been causing problems for melvin police. >> all that. >> i don't know. i don't know if he likes me. >> i don't think you should be allowed to criticize a professional athlete when you weigh less than a rake. >> and all that matters. >> an stream at athlete on a not so tight rope. >> on "cbs this morning." >> there's your halftime show. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." last night for the first time president obama's re-election campaign began asking major

contributes to give money to a super pac that supports the president. >> and that marks a dramatic change in policy for the president. we want to bring in now senior white house correspondent bill plant who has more on this for us this morning. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning erica. late last night the prot's campaign signaling they're going after the big money too. they're shopping for contributions to the super pacs. the campaign officials and the white house officials will appear at fundraisers for priorities saw. that's that usa. that's the super pac that backs the president. this isn't surprising given the fact that they have raised more than $50 million already, but it's not also the first time that the president has reversed himself on fund-raising. you may remember in 2008 he said he would take public funding. then he changed his mind. but this time it comes after his denuns yags of that supreme court decision which allowed unlimited fund-raising.

here's what he said in his state of the union address last year. >> i don't think american elections should be bang rolled by america's most powerful interest or worse by foreign entities. they should be decided by the american people, and i'd urge democrats and republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems. >> reporter: okay. that was from 120u. and today in an e-mail the president's campaign manager jim messina says we're not going to unilaterally disarm in this cycle. >> there's also a question. the obama campaign has returned a donation that has been made because of a link the a fugitive. did they know anything about this link when they took the money? >> no. the campaign says they had no idea where that money came from. they said they do scrub their donations, but they don't catch everything right away. the two brothers of a fellow known as juan jose cardona also

known as pepe. they donated about $200,000 to the campaign. the campaign has now returned that and said hey, we do make every effort to make sure that our donations are right. and if they're not, swend them back. >> all right, bill. thanks. the gop campaign is focusing on minnesota and colorado today. mitt romney wants to cement hit status as a front-runner while newt gingrich is looking for a way to stay in the race. correspondent jan crawford is in denver this morning. >> reporter: it's snowy. it's beautiful here this morning. we heard from newt gingrich. he's retooling. he took a beating in the last two states and he said he's getting back to what he does best bashing the media and defending conservative principles. >> the elite media would love to talk us into lengthing another

moderate. >> reporter: he's vowing to fight till the end all the way to august in the republican national convention. on sean hannity's radio show on monday he came out firing against a favorite target, the media media. >> they get up every morning saying, gee, there's got to be some way of getting gingrich out of this race. >> reporter: in south carolina he was dominant but in the next few weeks he isn't expected to make much headway. today colorado and minnesota aren't expected to go his way. some polls indicate he could lose to rick santorum and in missouri he's not even on the ballot. but gingrich isn't focused on february. he's looking at march. tennessee and his home state of georgia vote on march 6, alabama and mississippi, a week later. romney is campaigning hard in a mall. drawing thousands last night in denver complete with a high school marching band. >> this president was elected to lead.

he decided to follow. now it's his time to get out of the way. >> reporter: romney is keeping his focus on the president but the new polls suggest that the attacks have hurt. as the race has gotten more negative, people have increasingly negative views of both romney and gingrich. by a two to one margin americans say the more they learn about romney, the less they like him. the chairman of the national republican committee says he's not worried. >> i think the primary fight as it stands is helping the republican party. thing it makes our candidates stronger. it forces the media to talk about our side of the aisle almost nonstop. >> reporter: now after today's vetting, the media might start talking a lot more about rick santorum. he's campaigning hard in these states and he's expected to have a strong showing. he says like ron paul and newt gingrich, he's not getting out of o this race. so it could go on for a while. >> jan, thanks. mr. dickerson is with us this

morning. it says what about the looming fight with republicans to have the most money in the general election? >> it's going to be big, this fight. it's going to be ugly. we've already seen this. and it's going to be on the air waive waves. what the obama camp saw was the fund-raising numbers last year. they saw what romney was able to do to newt gingrich in florida, just absolutely bury him under ads and they started to worry about what this is going to mean for o in the general election. >> what do we know about how the obama campaign looks at romney as a competitor. >> they like at him basically -- he has a great argument. the economy is bad. the election will be a referendum on the president and here's a candidate who can say i understand the economy. they've been hammering at this for a month. they're hoping they can keep going at that core say he doesn't have a core, he's constantly flip-flopping, and

they can hope to undermine him and they're very happy with the new polls showing the president doing better than romney and seeing romney's negative the unfavorable view that they've had. >> some of it from the gingrich attacks. >> exactly. and also some of the things romney had to do to combat the attacks. he had to get more negative seem unpleasant. >> what does that do because these job numbers on friday were better than expected. 8.3%. obviously each side will spin it their own way. for the republicans to use the economy, they do have to go negative. >> they have to go negative, but also the president has to go negative. good job numbers are good for this president but still over 70% think we're going in the wrong direction. they think the studship the thing they care most about is not going very good. that's another reason why he had to make this decision on super pacs.

it's going to be ugly and be on the airwaves and they have to compete. the argument with the independents will be about the economy, and what the president will try to do is what he tried to do in his state of the union, say slow and steady recovery we're getting bettering and that's why these economic numbers a little bit of a problem for romney. when the numbers suggest the economy is getting better that makes a much more complicated argument for romney. >> and if he's nominated, romney will have to attack to the center. >> exactly. which is one of the reasons why he wants the republican race to get over quickly. >> john, nice to have you with us this morning. thank you. in syria there are new anti-government protests in homs. they've closed syria to most western reporters. good morning. >> good morning, charlie.

we've been staying here with a group who call themselves the syrian liberation army. they're keen to emphasize they're not a part of the free syrian army and they're not all former soldiers who defected from the actual army. and while we've been staying with them it's been interesting to see exactly what they're up against. this is a military force or rebel force that have been carried grenades. but they're fighting against an arm with tanks around artillery, and the fear is the syrian army will start to use their air power soon and, of course they have no match for that sort of power. >> what is their battle plan? how do they expect to proceed over the next weeks ahead? >> reporter: i think they were planning an operation whereby they hoped to carve out sort of a free zone in the north of the country, similar to what we saw in benghazi and libya. but the problem at the moment is they're very fearful of launching any serious offensive

until they know that there is some kind of underlying support from the international community, some kind of resolution from the united nations. otherwise they're living in fear that the libyan army will launch an air assault and without support from the community, that would completely decimate them. >> are they realistic in expecting that there will be some help from outside? >> reporter: i can't say whether they're realistic or not. that's for the united nations to decide but certainly they're going anxious, that there has been no formal commitment from the international community to give support to the opposition here and to prevent them from being further assaulted by the syrian army. >> is there a sense that there might be a civil war looming ahead? >> reporter: there is a great

deal of concern here that if bashir assad's regime was to come in, what would happen. they have different interests. they have different religions. and certainly if you talk to a lot of experts in the region there are very serious concerns that it could evolve into civil war. we've heard of reports coming from different areas. a very concerning development if that is indeed true. >> clarissa thanks very much and as always be safe. >> reporter: thank you charlie. >> we'll have more on syria tonight on the cbs evening news. we have new information on the death of susan powell and the missing children. they say josh powell carefully planned his murder/suicide brutally attacking his sons before setting fire to the house.

our correspondent has more. >> reporter: as arson investigators continue to sift through the home they say 7-year-old charlie and 5-year-old brayden powell suffered chob injuries to their heads and necks. the shfr then says josh powell started the house on five. >> two five-gallon cans of gas. one was with the bodies the other was spread throughout the house. there were accelerants throughout the house. >> reporter: police say before he carried out the murder/suicide he donated his sons' toys to chirty and left e-mails about his personal effects. >> he sent an e-mail to his pastor and other people making sure that everybody knew that he was gone that he was the one that did this. he put a plan in motion and he carried it out. >> reporter: powell had been under police scrutiny following the suspicious disappearance of his wife susan cox powell from their you tall home in december 2009. six days ago he lost a battle with susan's parents for custody

of his sons. >> senseness, to slaughter two innocent children. >> they were at the home. >> they were having a good time. they wanted to stop and see daddy. they had seemed to be losing interest in going to see them. >> reporter: it was judy who talked the boys into going and she says she'll have to live with the regret. >> yeah because look what happened. but i knew that they're supposed to be able to see their dad. >> there was too many warning signs that i feel were known, but due to legal limitations were unable to be acted upon. >> reporter: josh powell never mentioned susan in his good-bye e-mails. an attorney for the cox family says the kids had recently talked about seeing their mom in the trunk of the car the night she vanished. he also says josh powell was likely to be arrested in the coming months. >> one of the things that was

done here he destroyed the evidence. as callous as that sounds, he destroyed the evidence because those guys could have been the best evidence against him. this morning in los angeles, officials are removing the entire staff of an elementary school at the enter of a growing teacher sex abuse investigation as john blackstone reports, angry parents are demanding even more answers. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> we have hired and screened entire staff that will come in. >> reporter: the loss angeles school said teachers will be replaced by thursday. miramonte is one of the country's largest grammar students with at least 1,500. it's attempted to restore confidence where parents say they have failed to protect the children.

>> he says mom, what's going on, why's everybody out there? i don't have answers for my son at this point. >> reporter: the controversy began last week when two teachers mark berndt and martin springer were arrested for sexually abusing children. berndt is charged with 23 lewd acts including taking pictures of young students bound and gagged. springer is accused of fondling two 7-year-old girls in his class. >> we're trying to determine if there are individuals who have done something wrong very. >> reporter: it's expected that many staffers will be interviewed. the investigation has been ongoing for at least three years. the parents have learned that berndt was investigated and cleared by authorities as far back as 1994. >> it's an outrage for something like this to go on. >> reporter: and even this attempt to reassure parents appears to have fallen short as

school officials banned the media from attending the announcement, further inflaming already angered parents. >> they're covered up something. that's why they don't want the media in there.

somenylons, and what girl wouldn't need new shoes? we talked about getting a diamond. but with all the thank you points i've been earning -- i went to the rock i really had in mind. >> the citi thank ewe card. earn points with no blackout dates. a big named republican says clint eastwood's super bowl ad is really all about politics. we'll go inside the controversy that has people buzzing from detroit to washington. also, tom brady's wife breaks an unwritten rule complaining about his teammates at the super bowl. now it's all over the super bowl with kevin frazier of the "insider." you're watching "cbs this morning."

president obama. national correspondent chip reid is in washington this morning with more. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and erica. you probably saw the ad sunday night. it was for chrysler and it started clint eastwood and aired during the halftime of the super bowl and now it's at the center of a lot of fingerpointing. it was supposed to be a pep talk courtesy of chrysler. >> how do we come together and how do we win? >> reporter: delivering by hollywood royalty, offered by the car's turn around. >> the people of detroit know something about this. they almost lost everything. but we all pulled together. now motor city is fighting again. >> reporter: but what was left to be inspiring looked political to some like an endorsement of president obama's bailout to the auto industry. adding fuel to the fire

supporters treated. saving the america auto industry something eminem and he can agree on. karl rove, former senior adviser to george w. bush saw it as political payback from the auto industry to president obama. >> and the president of the united states and his political minions are in essence using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising and the best wishes of the management which has benefitted by getting a bunch of our money that they'll never pay back. >> reporter: in radio interview, presidential candidate newt gingrich took a different view. >> i know clint. i assure you, he did not make an obama ad. >> reporter: that's something clint eastwood confirmed. >> detroit's showing us it can be done. and what's true about this is true about all of us.

>> reporter: now, the ceo of chrysler denies that there was any political motivation here, and a couple of things to keep in mind. first, the bailout of chrysler began during the bush administration with $4 billion. another $8.5 billion was added during the obama administration. a total of $12.5 billion. about 90% of it was paid back but this is going to be a political football for the foreseeable future, i'm sure. charlie and erica? ooh. >> they believe it's a very big plus for him because the president mentions it all the time and so does his staff. i'm sure we'll see a lot more during the campaign. >> absolutely. it fits in nicely with the fundamental campaign message which biden summed up. bin laden is dead and chrysler is very much alive. she defended her husband quarterback tom brady.

brady or bundchen have commented. >> if they own it it goes away. if they say nothing, its building. >> reporter: bundchen appears to be in a very tough spot on this one. charlie and erica? >> thanks very much. are you excited about seeing the giants in this parade? >> caller: i was here four years ago. it should be fun, yeah. >> he only wishes it was the buffalo bills. >> some day. >> we're joined by kevin frazier, host of the "insider." he was a few feet away as bundchen let out that frustration. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> great. set the scened on how it's become the story it's become? >> during the game in the last few minutes, the last few plays, i was with the mannings and watching abbie manning, it was excruciating for her and her husband trying to play defense, but as soon as the game was over, we walked out of the box

right next to the mannings and gisele was there in the hallway. she actually was taking a picture with a fan. she said to us that her husband played amazing. and then as she walked to the elevator, a fan walked toward her and said eli manning owns your husband. now, i thought gisele was going let it go. it was a tough moment for her and i thought she was going to walk to the elevator, get on the elevator and leave, but then she raised her voice so the fan and others could hear and she let out her now famous tirade. >> now, who recorded this? >> we did. we were right there. she looked back at us. she knew we were there, and she knew we were rolling. there was no question that we were there and we were filming her. >> have you made any effort i'm sure you have, to get them to respond to the story as it's gone viral? >> sure. but here's the thing charlie, as you know. gisele really does not talk to the media. so that's why when we walked

into the hallway, i was shocked she was there. and when i called out my first question and i said how do you think your husband played. she said he was amazing and turned around and told us that. to get that video of gisele and be there with gisele was a pretty big coup. >> what was it like? it looks like another wife was right next to her. >> right. and she looked immediately at us because she realized it was a gaffe by gisele. look i'm a coach's kid who used to cry after my dad's team lost cases. this was raw. this is something much bigger than i ever experienced but gisele's got to know better. she's in the eye of the storm, and the fans and the people around her wanted a reaction. yeah, our camera was there, but there were a ton of people who had their iphones and

blackberries up recording gisele as she walked. i was surprised that she did it and a lot of people heard it. >> one thing before we go the notion that she probably would not have said this unless the heckler had said eli's got the best of your guy. >> sure. she was upset. they just lost the super bowl. but at the same time, i mean, look. you get heckled in boston and new york a little bit. you should be used to it. and gisele and tom are on a different level than the average person. let's be honest. >> kevin frazier, good to have you with us. thank you. we know you ee'll have more tonight coming up on "the >> forecast calls for high of

than we know because there's still this notion i would nltd do that, but people do and people that we know. >> yeah. there's a stigma around online dating for a long time. mostly because it's new and new is sort of if you're nerdy and you can't find somebody you would use this. but now a fifth of americans are using this. it's a lot. >> so we have to let the social stigma go. i'm like charlie. we're still a little worried. we very to let go of the stigma that it's for nerdy people or for losers. it has changed. we have to officially embrace it, do we not? >> and the reason people are scared is we've been dating for thousands and thousands of years with another body. but now the body's not there. so there was a lot of trust issues. how can i tell if the person's a good person or not. now that people have been doing fitter years, it's no worse than meeting somebody in the bar, that's for sure. >> what is it like? there is still -- even if the stigma's gone, you get the

profile and think where is that picture really from? how much do they lie? >> a little bit. >> a little bit. how honest are people? >> they're pretty honest. let's face it. people do lie. but in the real world we lie as well. we wear heels and put makeup on. >> what's to lie about that? what's the lie about that, doctor? professor. >> how can that be? >> the online dating they're putting their best face forward. yes, women will put up a little bit older versions so it's a younger version of themselves and men will lie about how tall they are. sometimes they run into somebody that isn't at all like they say. most of them are small lies. if it's a big lie and they go to meet for coffee, game over. >> what are people looking for. >> love. some people, if you're in your 20s, you're looking for a marriage partner. others want a one-night stand. let's say you're in your 60s or

70s and lost a loved one, haven't dated for 40 years. this is a way to find single people out there. there's a computer between you and them and it takes away some of the emotions. >> increasingly we're seeing more and more people over 55. >> that's right. seniors are a major growing population on the online dating world. >> you can measure that by the commercials you see. >> that's right. >> i'm back to what you said about one-night stands. are there people looking for -- you said love. i don't think a one-night stand is love. are there a lot of people seeking one-night stands? i'm not trying to be cute. i'm surprised about that. >> say you're a guy in new york city and you want to date a lot of women. >> you can just walk out the door. you don't have to get online. >> when you walk out the door you're watching a badge. >> you think it's easy. >> so i've been told. what are you missing if you go online as opposed to face to - face? >> well, you need to get face to

face soon, because that's what it's about. i think of online dating rather than replacing is helping or augmenting it. it's the very beginning. one of the recommendations is to definitely get out there and meet the people sooner rather than later. >> it's an interesting conversation. thank you very much for joining us. that does it for us. up next your morning news and we'll see you tomorrow on "cbs this morning." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
