as jeff zeints has done, his successor, mr. delbene will be serving as senior advisor to secretary sebelius. and so the secretary obviously makes the choice. the search for the successor involved, in addition to the secretary and members of her team, certainly mr. zeints and and -- peace of technology and, the president and the secretary are very grateful that he agreed to take on this position. >> he will be on the government payroll. can you tell us what he will get paid? >> i don't know the status of what el get paid or how much. i think we said in the past that mr. zeints was essentially volunteering but, taking i think, a small nominal salary. i don't know the case with mr. delbene but we'll get that to you. >> and can you give anymore details what gene will do with his last month in january? will he be involved with the budget bill staying a little longer? >> sure i will confirm that gene sperling will be remaining in his position through at least january, into early february to participate as he has so effectively over t

and i think that is an excellent decision to replace jeff zeints when he goes to the national economicouncil. it's quite clear you need someone who can manage that and really run it. >> dr. emanuel, thank you. thank you again for coming in sir. >> no problem. >> it's always interesting. >> good. >>> up next, our sunday panel joins the discussion on obama care. and the president's pivot back to economic issues. >>> plus, what would you like to ask the panel? just go to twitter @foxnewssunday and we may use your question on the air. capital to make it happen? without the thinking that makes it real? what's a vision without the expertise to execute it... and the financing to make it grow? whatever your goal, it can change more than your business. it can change the future. that's why, at barclays, our ambition is to always realize yours. >>> if you don't think we should raise the minimum wage, let's hear your idea to increase people's earnings. if you don't think every child should have access to preschool, tell us what you'd do differently to give them a better shot. >> president obama on

it is working better. 800,000 users daily according to jeff zeints can come on to the website. they're trying to do 50,000 at a time. they say they have 90% stability rate as far as that goes right now. what about when it starts really cooking and more and more people start coming on is it likely they will run into the same troubles? >> we'll see. there are two key indicators to look at. obviously the enrollment numbers. do they increase the rate of enrollment month by month and do they seem what looks like a big number by the end of march. two, the president's approval ratings and ratings of red state democrats. if you see those continue to fall the way they have over the last two months you could still see a big democratic political panic over this that could mean big change in the law. martha: we will see what happens. rich, thank you very much. good to see you. >> thanks, martha. bill: holiday shopping season kicked off with a bit of a frenzy. according to retailers black friday was a bit of a bust. despite more shoppers than ever going to the stores. according to the natio
