STROLLER STRAPS-VO IN PLASMA

THANKS JIM.

PARENTS WE HAVE A STORY FOR YOU.

ONE FAMILY WORRIED ABOUT A POPULAR BRAND OF STROLLER.

TURNS OUT THEY'RE NOT ALONE.

STROLLER STRAPS-PKG

MEET GAVIN.

NOT QUITE TWO YEARS OLD.

TO GET AROUND TOWN, HIS FAMILY PURCHASED A STROLLER MADE BY "BUGABOO".

"We loved the bugaboo line. so we decided to go with the chameleon, it's a little bit bigger."

INITIALLY, GAVIN FIT SNUGLY INTO THE STRAPS MEANT TO SECURE HIM IN HIS SEAT.

"But as he got older and more mobile, the straps were just extraordinarily loose no matter how tight I could make them. he was able to not just get his arms out but actually physically stand up in the stroller."

CONCERNED OVER LITTLE GAVIN'S SAFETY, FAITH REACHED OUT TO BUGABOO.

"So, the first time I called them, they just said I'm sorry, there is nothing that can be done."

FAITH SAYS SHE CALLED AGAIN. AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE.

THEN.

"So my mother-in-law was watching the news and she was like you're not going to believe this. She's like some woman has the same problem!"

IN AUGUST, PARENTS HAD CONTACTED US WITH THEIR CONCERNS OVER THE SAME ISSUE-- STRAPS THAT THE FAMILY SAYS BECOME LOOSE AS A CHILD GETS OLDER.

ONCE WE CONTACTED BUGABOO. THEY OFFERED TO REFUND THE BOHNS THE COST OF THEIR STROLLER PLUS ACCESSORIES.

"So I told bugaboo that I saw your news story"

FAITH SAYS AFTER THAT. SHE GOT A DIFFERENT REACTION FROM BUGABOO:

"They said that we are actually going to replace your fabric straps with the new model of the chameleon which is just coming out, which has a much, much better harness."

AND SHE SAYS SO FAR, THE NEW HARNESS AND STRAPS ARE WORKING GREAT.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN FOR A SENTIMENTAL NIGHT WHEN IT STARTS WITH ONE OF THOSE FAMOUS OBAMA HUGS WHERE THEY SEEM LIKE THEY'RE ALL ALONE EVEN THOUGH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF US ARE WATCHING.

BUT ENOUGH KISSING, TIME FOR REMINISCING. IOWA IS WHERE BARACK OBAMA'S DRIVE FOR THE PRESIDENCY GOT ITS START.

And you welcomed me and Michelle into your homes.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED.

And Mr. Obama got teary-eyed.

Wiped a tear from his face.

An emotional night especially for a President known for keeping his cool.

MAYBE IT WAS THE COLD MAKING HIM CRY.

NAH.

To say one thing to all the young people.

NOT ONCE BUT 3 TIMES.

To all of you who've lived and breathed the hard work of change, I want to thank you.

THE PRESIDENT USED HIS FINGER.

Who believe we've all got something to contribute.

TO DAB AWAY A TEAR.

"NO SURPRISE, THE PRESIDENT'S TEARS HAD SOME OF HIS CRITICS CRYING. CRYING FOUL."

"WHO CRIES FROM JUST ONE EYE?" ASKED SOMEONE CALLING HERSELF JOANIE BALONEY.

"HE MUST HAVE JUST SEEN HIS INTERNAL POLL NUMBERS."

"HE NEEDS AN ACADEMY AWARD TO SET NEXT TO HIS NOBEL PRIZE."

AND PLAYING OFF THAT FAMILIAR CHANT.

4 more years. 4 more years.

THE DRUDGE REPORT MOCKED "4 MORE TEARS."

THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS FIRED BACK. "ROMNEY WOULD HAVE WEPT BUT HIS HANDLERS FORGOT TO REFILL HIS WIPER FLUID."

THE PRESIDENT HAS CRIED BEFORE. AT A FUNERAL FOR A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST, AS MICHELLE EYED HIS WATERING EYES.

AND 4 YEARS AGO, EXACTLY ONE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION.

It's hard a little to talk about.

THEN-SENATOR OBAMA LOST THE GRANDMOTHER WHO HAD HELPED RAISE HIM. AND THIS TIME THUMBED AWAY THE TRACKS OF HIS TEARS.

Of broken politics in Washington.

4 YEARS APART, BOTH TIMES A DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION.

"To say one thing to all the young people."

BUT BARACK OBAMA IS NO JOHN BOEHNER.

I've spent my whole life chasing the American dream.

WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA, IT ALMOST TAKES A STILL PHOTO TO CAPTURE THE TEARS.

AND THEN NOSTALGIA GAVE WAY TO KISSING THOSE TEARS GOODBYE.

POLITICS TODAY-2 SHOT

THE PRESIDENT WON HIS RE-ELECTION BID LAST NIGHT DESPITE PREDICTIONS OF A VERY TIGHT RACE.

THE QUESTION NOW IS CAN THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS COMPROMISE ON A HOST OF DOMESTIC ISSUES.

POLITICS TODAY-PKG

IN CELEBRATING VICTORY. PRESIDENT OBAMA EXTENDED AN OLIVE BRANCH TO REPUBLICANS.

"And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together -- reducing our deficit, reforming out tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do."

AND HE REACHED OUT TO A DIVIDED NATION.

"Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you. And you have made me a better president."

WHILE THE PRESIDENT'S ELECTORAL WIN WAS RESOUNDING.

ROUGHLY TWO MILLION VOTES SEPARATED THE CANDIDATES.

IN DEFEAT. MITT ROMNEY WAS BOTH GRACIOUS - AND CONCILIATORY.

Fmr. Presidential Candidate :52-:59

"At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work."

REPUBLICANS WILL STILL HAVE FIRM CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.

BUT THE CURRENT CONGRESS IS FACING A LOOMING CRISIS.

IF THERE'S NO SPENDING COMPROMISE BY DECEMBER 31st. TAXES WILL GO UP FOR EVERY AMERICAN ON JANUARY 1ST - AND AUTOMATIC, ACROSS-THE-BOARD CUTS KICK IN.

Virginia 1:16-1:20

"There's gonna be some tender feelings but at the end of the day we have to put the country first."

DEMOCRATS WILL MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE NEW SENATE.

AND HAVE RECLAIMED TED KENNEDY'S SEAT WITH ELIZABETH WARREN'S WIN OVER SCOTT BROWN IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Massachusetts 1:30-1:32

"Well this is a win for America's middle class."

THE ELECTION DECIDED. LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH PARTIES NOW FACE THE DAUNTING TASK OF GETTING WORK DONE IN A CAPITAL AS POLARIZED AS EVER.
