dream act. >> derrick ward is live with reaction to the president's announcement. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, indeed, there's a lot going on here behind the doors of montgomery blair high school here. more than 30 cabinet level officials from the obama administration are gathered with dozens of people from the local, state and county level for this summit here today. now, this, as you said, is the white house's hispanic community summit, it's plenary sessions on issues like health care that affect everyone. the beauty of this summit is that there can be a frank and open discussion among those who carry out and make the policies and those at the local level who are most immediately affected by them. now, the topics include everything from the achievement gap in education to the particular needs of hispanic veterans and military families and, of course, immigration it was only yesterday that the

president outlined his policy on immigration. this session was planned well before that announcement was made. yesterday's announcement makes today's session all the more relevant. >> one of the issues on people's mind is the idea of a dream act. for kid who go to school and grow up in this community that they should not be penalized for the decisions their parents made, because these kids, in many cases, have been growing up in schools since the early grades, graduating and wanting to be able to go on to college like their classmates. that's why the president's action was so important. >> the 21st summit like this that's been going on since the administration started. it happened in 15 states. you might say we're in the white house's backyard here but often you're a world away from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. this is an effort to bring those worlds together, come out with

an action plan and make something happen. >> a bit of controversy during president obama's announcement of the new policy. a reporter tried to ask a question during the president's speech, but a reporter says it was all a big misunderstanding. >> it is the right thing to do. excuse me, sir. it's not time for questions, sir. not while i'm speaking. >> the man asking the question is neil munro, right there in the light colored jacket. he's a reporter for "the daily caller" a conservative website. he asked the president why do you favor foreigners over american workers. he later explained he thought president obama was finishing his speech and wanted to get a question in before obama walked back inside. "the daily caller"'s editor in chief commented, a reporter's job is to ask questions and get answers. our job is to find out what the

federal government is up to. a good report are gets the storer. we're proud of neil munro. mitt romney kicked off his every town in america counts tour yesterday in new hampshire. he's traveling through what's called the back roads of america because they're often overlooked by washington. romney also hammered president obama saying he has failed to give the middle class a fair shot at achieving the american dream. we are following breaking news stories right now. we begin in iraq. at least 25 people are dead in a wave of car bombings. it happened on the last day of a shiite pilgrimage. one bombing early this morning in baghdad killed 14, then another second car bombing an hour ago dilled 11 more. 72 people died wednesday in the worst attack since american troops left iraq. in the pacific carlotta has just been downgraded to a tropical storm hours after it made landfall in mexico. late last night the storm hit
