michelle, i'll start with you if i could, the fed made a decision to reinvest its holdings back into treasurys. can you explain what the fed actually did and why he did it. >> what's happening now is they're allowing the mortgage and agency portfolio to shrink as he matured, as these securities matured and in effect, what that's doing is taking reserves out of the banking system and it isn't tighteninging, but in a way that's sort of what happened with the fed just not doing anything. if they re-invest those proceeds they're going to basically keep that money in the banking system. so it's a very neutral posture for the fed, and i think that they felt it was probably the best way to be positioned given that they are so uncertain about the outlook for the economy. >> jim, what's the effect on the average investor of what the fed did? it certainly spooked the markets on wednesday and then the fed said the pace of recovery has slowed in recent months. put it together for us, what do you make of all of it? >> well, i think the main impact of this move is on the confidence level or fear t

democrats are deploying first lady michelle obama. in september the first lady will hit the campaign trail, stumping for democratic congressional candidates in tight races. mrs. obama isn't expected to deliver a message that's too partisan, instead focusing on the president and congress' legislative accomplishments. but will that be enough to win over women? democrats may have a tough time competing with sarah palin and her mama grizzlies. just this week, she endorsed seven more women. in response, emily's list, which raises money for pro-choice democratic female candidates, launched a counter campaign called sarah doesn't speak for me. >> congress warm norton who is doing a better job of reaching out to female voters, democrats or republicans? >> republicans just showed up for women they get to play. democrats continue to do the work. >> i think neater is doing a very good job. i'd like to see a fresh, energized approach of both parties attracting women. >> i'm glad the republicans are starting to try until recently about all they di

michelle?> well, first of all, i mean we totally disagree with the notion that the right thick to do in terms of putting resources into the school districts is to continue the formula funding of the past that has completely failed children and particularly poor and minority children in this country. what the secretary and the president have done through race to the top is said we're going to incent innovation. we don't want to maintain the status quo. we want people who are going to be aggressive about really reforming their districts and who are serious about that and we're going to give the resources to those states and to those districts and i think that this idea that somehow by just continuing to give all of the districts the same amount of money over and over again is going to produce a different result is absolutely mad. >> interesting. we have a piece of information, a graphic showing how parents feel about merit pay and we'll put it up right now but basically amongst parents, 72% say,
