Bipartisanship didn't work on Capitol Hill, but the massive stimulus bill passed anyway. Now the President is back on the road. Also, a US military leader says Obama's plans to withdraw from Iraq is optimistic, and the eighth largest economy in the world is in trouble. We hear how political gridlock could mean financial disaster for California.
