Obama: As First Woman To Head Federal Reserve, Yellen Is a Role Model

OBAMA: “And given the urgent economic challenges facing our nation, I urge the senate to confirm Janet without delay. I’m absolutely confident that she will be an exceptional chair of the Federal Reserve. I should add that she'll be first woman to lead the fed in its 100 year history. And I know a lot of Americans, men and women, thank you for not only your example and your excellence, but also being a role model for a lot of folks out there. It’s been said that Janet found love at the Federal Reserve, literally. This is where she met her husband George.  A celebrated economist on his own.”
