OBAMA LETTERMAN SOT

What I said on election night was even though you didn't vote for me, I hear

your voices

On Letterman, the president took a jab at Mitt Romney over this video leaked

to Mother Jones showing Romney saying that 47 percent of Americans don't

pay income taxes, think they're victims ---- and won't vote for him

ROMNEY GFX/AUDIO SOT

" My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they

should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.

OBAMA LETTERMAN SOT

my expectation is if you want to be president you've got to work for

everybody, not just for some.

AND WHILE GOV ROMNEY DEFENDED HIS REMARKS IN AN APPEARANCE ON FOX NEWS.

ROMNEY FOX SOT:

We were of course talking about a campaign and how he's going to get to

close half the vote, I'm going to get half the vote, approximately, I hope.

RUNNING MATE PAUL RYAN SAYS ROMNEY WOULD SAY IT DIFFERENTLY NOW.

SOT - RYAN / KRNV: he was obviously inarticulate in making this point, the

point we're trying to make here is under the obama economy govt dependency

is up and economic stagnation is up

Late Tuesday, Mother Jones released the full secretly recorded video in

which Romney suggests his campaign could capitalize on a foreign policy

crisis like Ronald Reagan did on the Iran hostages.

ROMNEY GFX/AUDIO SOT

" By the way if something of that nature presents itself, I will work to

find a way to take advantage of the opportunity."

On Fox News, Romney pivoted, reaching back-- 14 years to an audiotape of

then-state Senator Obama speaking about how to make city governments more

efficient, by pooling resources

OBAMA AUDIO SOT:

I actually believe in redistribution - at least at a certain level to make

sure that everybody's got a shot.

ROMNEY FOX SOT:

a society based upon a government centered nation where government plays a

larger and larger role, redistributes money, that's the wrong course for

CROSSTALK INTO WX-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A stalled front over North Florida will keep the moisture flowing into Southwest Florida through our Wednesday, setting the stage for another day of scattered showers, storms, and cloudy skies. Some sunshine will also mix in at times, but the general theme will be more clouds than sunshine.

Satellite images this morning show a steady stream of clouds extending into the Gulf of Mexico, which will make for a considerable amount of cloud cover to start the morning. The patches of heavy rain and drizzle we had around through the night have fizzled, but we expect more scattered showers along with a few storms to develop in our coastal waters through the day.

With the steering flow moving from southwest to northeast, the rain that develops will take the same track as yesterday, moving from the Gulf and spreading inland.

Rain will be possible at any time during the day, but the prime time will likely coming from the early to mid afternoon. A few showers will even linger through the night with more showers developing close to the coast by Thursday morning.

Although temperatures will still be rather warm today, heating will be somewhat limited by the cloud cover and rain. Temperatures will start in the mid to upper 70s this morning and then warm into the mid to upper 80s later today. Winds shouldn't be as gusty today, but we could still get some gusts from 15-20 mph.

Even though the front to our north will become somewhat washed out and in a weakened state over the next couple days, its remnant moisture will stick around Southwest Florida, keeping scattered shower and storms in the forecast to close out the week. The timing of the rain will change a little by Friday, however, with the rain and storms mainly targeting the afternoon and evening hours.

ROBOCALL COMPLAINTS-2 SHOT

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU:

DO YOU GET A LOT OF CALLS AT HOME FROM TELEMARKETERS?

WELL, COMPLAINTS ARE *UP-

ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE ROBO CALLS.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE "DO-NOT-CALL" LIST?

ARE TELEMARKETERS IGNORING IT?

ROBOCALL COMPLAINTS-PKG

WHEN THE PHONE RINGS AT LARRY WILLIS'S HOUSE. CHANCES ARE IT'S NOT A CALL HE WANTS TO ANSWER.

"My reaction is, I don't have time, how did you get my number?"

LARRY IS TALKING ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF TELEMARKETING CALLS THAT ARE INTERRUPTING HIS WORK AND MEALS.

"I would say in the last six months it was zero, then all of a sudden it started to pick up again."

CALLS FROM PEOPLE OFFERING LARRY A NEW CREDIT CARD OR ASKING ABOUT HIS HOUSE.

"You've lived here for 13 years, how's your mortgage, is your house upside down? So a lot of mortgage calls."

"You capture somebody when they are at home. If you have the right offer and the right marketing message, it goes all the time."

STEVEN OSINSKI IS A MARKETING PROFESSOR. HE SAYS TELEMARKETING CALLS GENERATE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DO NOT CALL LIST? IT'S STILL THE LAW, BUT OSINSKI SAYS ENFORCEMENT IS SPOTTY. AND REALLY DOESN'T STOP THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PHONE CALLS.

"From their angle, they're going, you know what? we may get slapped on the hand down the road but we're generating a lot of business with these home calls, we can't abandoned it so lets keep calling."

NOW NOT ALL TELEMARKETING CALLS BREAK THE LAW. YOU CAN LEGALLY GET A CALL FROM A POLITICIAN, A SURVEY OR SOMEONE YOU'VE DONE BUSINESS WITH IN THE PAST.

"Lately it's been political stuff."

AND THOSE CALLS COULD EASILY DOUBLE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. IN THE MEAN TIME, WHAT CAN CONSUMERS DO? HANG UP. DEMAND THE TELEMARKETER STOP CALLING. AND CONTINUE TO COMPLAINT TO FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.

BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE TAKING A MORE PASSIVE APPROACH TO THESE ANNOYING CALLS. THEY JUST NOT PICKING UP.

ROBOCALL COMPLAINTS-ONCAM

BOB HANSEN REPORTING-

WE'VE HAD THE DO-NOT-CALL LIST FOR ALMOST A YEAR-

THERE ARE MORE THAN 200 MILLION PHONE NUMBERS ON THE LIST-

A FAMILY IS WARNING OTHERS ABOUT A TOY YOU MAY HAVE IN YOUR HOME.

THEY'RE CALLED "WATER BALZ".

THE TOYS ARE SMALL AND COLORFUL,

AND CAN COME WITH A SERIOUS RISK.

ONE BABY ENDED UP IN THE OPERATING ROOM,

HOURS AFTER PLAYING WITH THEM.

WATER BALLZ WARNING-PKG

THESE COLORFUL GEL WATER BALZ START OUT THE SIZE OF A PEA, THEN GROW AS BIG AS A RACQUETBALL WHEN IMMERSED IN WATER.

THEY CAUSED QUITE A SCARE FOR AN HUMBLE FAMILY WHEN EIGHT MONTH OLD AUNRAYA CONNOLLY SWALLOWED ONE.

"The balls got dropped on the floor she thought it was candy she picked it up she swallowed it realized it wasn't candy."

HER GRANDMOTHER FRIEDA DEWEESE SAYS THE TOY BELONGED TO AUNRAYA'S THREE YEAR OLD SISTER.

"She was continually throwing up she was dehydrated she was listless just wanted to sleep roll up in a ball you know she was just totally out of it."

THE FAMILY TOOK HER TO PEDIATRIC SURGEON DR. OLUYINA OLUTOYE.

"What makes this highly unusual actually is typically whatever you swallow would easily pass out. water balz are different because they come in very small but keep growing and get much bigger and that's what happened in this little girl."

A SCOPE HELPED DR. OLUTOYE SPOT THE TINY BALL.

"And interestingly you could look through the wall of the intestines and see this ball so it was easy to see through the pink intestines that it was some blue material there and we could push it around and identify where the blockage was."

DR. OLUTOYE REMOVED THE BALL FROM AUNRAYA'S INTESTINE AND SHE'S FULLY RECOVERED.

BUT HER GRANDMOTHER HAS A STERN WARNING TO THE MAKERS OF SUCH PRODUCTS.

"Put the warning larger bright colorful it must catch people's eyes most people do not read the fine print!"

WATER BALZ DO HAVE A WARNING LABEL STATING IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED FOR KIDS UNDER 3.

ARSENIC IN RICE?-ON CAM

NEW WARNINGS THIS MORNING ABOUT A STAPLE AMERICAN FOOD --

RICE.

CONSUMER REPORTS RELEASED A NEW STUDY --

DETAILING WORRISOME LEVELS OF ARSENIC IN MANY COMMON RICE PRODUCTS.

SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH?

ARSENIC IN RICE?-PKG

Rice eaten just once a day CAN drive arsenic levels in the human body up 44

percent, eaten twice a day CAN lead to a 70 percent increase in arsenic,

according to a sobering report released to Good Morning America by Consumer

Reports magazine this morning.

SOT, URVASHI RANGAN, PH. D, DIRECTOR OF CONSUMER SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY

AT CONSUMER REPORTS

"/CONSUMERS OUGHT TO TAKE STEPS TO MODERATE THEIR CONSUMPTION."

TRACK 1 - 10 seconds

CR TESTED FOR ARSENIC IN MANY FORMS OF RICE, from cereal for babies and

adults to brown and white whole grain, pasta and rice milk. many contained

what the magazine calls worrisome levels of arsenic.

1/8GFX 3/8

SOME PRODUCTS HAD 5 times more than the arsenic found in oatmeal. one and

a half times more than EPA's legal standard for drinking water. INORGANIC

Arsenic is considered a level 1 carcinogen, linked to lung and bladder

cancer.

TRACK 2 - 8 seconds

Today, the FDA will announce it is studying arsenic too in rice and

recommends a varied diet. Consumer Reports wants more.

SOT, URVASHI RANGAN, PH. D, DIRECTOR OF CONSUMER SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY

AT CONSUMER REPORTS

01;05;24 WE CALLED FOR THAT ON APPLE JUICE IN JANUARY. WE'RE CALLING FOR

THAT AGAIN IN RICE PRODUCTS TODAY.

Surprisingly, when it comes to arsenic. the less nutritional

white rice is better than brown. Since the CARCINOGEN is most prevalent in

the outer layers of the grain. and white rice is polished removing some of

those layers.

The USA rice federation does not dispute that arsenic is in rice, but says

while that is a scary word, there is no documented evidence of actual

illness linked to rice.

Founder of Coughlin & Associates,

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A stalled front over North Florida will keep the moisture flowing into Southwest Florida through our Wednesday, setting the stage for another day of scattered showers, storms, and cloudy skies. Some sunshine will also mix in at times, but the general theme will be more clouds than sunshine.

Satellite images this morning show a steady stream of clouds extending into the Gulf of Mexico, which will make for a considerable amount of cloud cover to start the morning. The patches of heavy rain and drizzle we had around through the night have fizzled, but we expect more scattered showers along with a few storms to develop in our coastal waters through the day.

With the steering flow moving from southwest to northeast, the rain that develops will take the same track as yesterday, moving from the Gulf and spreading inland.

Rain will be possible at any time during the day, but the prime time will likely coming from the early to mid afternoon. A few showers will even linger through the night with more showers developing close to the coast by Thursday morning.

Although temperatures will still be rather warm today, heating will be somewhat limited by the cloud cover and rain. Temperatures will start in the mid to upper 70s this morning and then warm into the mid to upper 80s later today. Winds shouldn't be as gusty today, but we could still get some gusts from 15-20 mph.

Even though the front to our north will become somewhat washed out and in a weakened state over the next couple days, its remnant moisture will stick around Southwest Florida, keeping scattered shower and storms in the forecast to close out the week. The timing of the rain will change a little by Friday, however, with the rain and storms mainly targeting the afternoon and evening hours.
