[0:02] Tonight, it's President Obama's first
[0:04] major piece of legislation. The House
[0:07] votes on the massive economic stimulus
[0:09] bill. I'm Katie Kurrick. Also tonight,
[0:12] that killer storm is on the move. It's
[0:15] blamed for deadly accidents in the
[0:17] southern plains. And now it could dump a
[0:19] foot of snow in New England. No place to
[0:22] light up, not even in your own home.
[0:25] Have antismoking laws gone too far? The
[0:28] government is just getting too
[0:30] intrusive.
[0:31] >> And the CEO who doesn't just talk the

[1:14] our chief White House correspondent. And
[1:16] Chip, the president gets a victory, but
[1:17] not the bipartisan one he had hoped for.
[1:21] That's right, Katie. The White House
[1:22] says this is a victory for the
[1:24] president, but certainly there is also
[1:26] some disappointment that he worked so
[1:28] hard to get bipartisan support and
[1:30] couldn't get a single Republican vote.
[1:33] >> As the House of Representatives prepared
[1:35] to vote on the economic stimulus bill
[1:37] today, President Obama made one last
[1:40] plea for bold action on behalf of
