[0:03] Tonight, the president's strongest words

[0:05] yet about the crackdown in Iran. He is

[0:09] >> appalled

[0:10] and outraged by the threats and the

[0:12] beatings and imprisonments.

[0:14] >> But he continues to insist this is not

[0:17] about the US, but the people of Iran.

[0:20] I'm Katie Couric. Also tonight, the

[0:22] shocking words of an earlier president,

[0:25] Richard Nixon, on abortion.

[0:35] They bet on the market and lost. So,

[0:37] where do they invest what's left of

[0:39] their nest egg? Our special series, Life

[0:42] After Debt.

[0:44] And remembering Ed McMahon, the man

[0:47] behind the most famous introduction in

[0:49] television history.

[0:56] >> [music]

[0:58] >> This is the CBS Evening News with Katie

[1:01] Couric.

[1:03] >> [music]

[1:04] >> Good evening, everyone. President

[1:06] Obama's been choosing his words about

[1:08] Iran very carefully, and today he chose

[1:11] two more, appalled and outraged. His

[1:14] strongest words yet to describe his

[1:16] reaction to the crackdown on protesters

[1:18] there. And he delivered them at the

[1:20] White House news conference. Our Chip

[1:22] Reid was there. Chip, the president's

[1:23] been under some pressure to ratchet up

[1:26] his language.

[1:27] >> Yes, he has, Katie. Republicans have

[1:29] accused him of being too timid in his

[1:31] response to Iran. Today, he changed his

[1:34] tone.

[1:36] >> The United States and the international

[1:37] community have been appalled

[1:39] and outraged by the threats and the

[1:41] beatings and imprisonments of the last

[1:44] few days.

[1:45] >> The president also took a direct swipe

[1:47] at Iran's repressive government.

[1:49] >> In 2009, no iron fist is strong enough

[1:53] to shut off the world from bearing

[1:55] witness to peaceful protests of justice.
