Barack Obama said he'd restore the economy in a bipartisan way, but debate over his stimulus package sounds all too familiar. Also, unemployment in LA County is 9.9 percent and rising, with the state's unemployment insurance program about to go broke.

Barack Obama said he'd restore the economy in a bipartisan way, but debate over his stimulus package sounds all too familiar.

And the Ports of LA and Long Beach are short of money needed for truckers to clean up the air.
