here's another look at this morning's top stories. the second major storm this week is hitting two-thirds of the country. it's dumping heavy snow, ice, and rain from the midwest to the northeast. in kansas, many schools and businesses will be closed. and the congressional budget office estimates obamacare will cause about 2 million workers to leave their jobs by 2017. most will leave their jobs by their own choice because they no longer have to work to be insured. opening ceremonies for the sochi winter olympics are on friday. president putin is there drumming up excitement for the international athletic event, but as mark phillips reports, not everyone there is pleased about the games.
4:26 am
>> reporter: the russians are very proud of what they've built here at gleaming olympic park at what used to be a slum, a spanking new ski center at what used to be wilderness, and what may be the world ea's most expensive road and rail link between them. but here in the village of akhtyr halfway between the two venues, they're decidedly lacking in olympic spirit. they say the games have ruined their lives. when the new highway through their valley was built, they were not only cut off from it, they were also cut off from the old road they used to use. now we're told what was a 15-minute walk to get the bus to work has become a two-hour cross-country trek. military guards block their way to the rickety footprints they used to use. they cut us off, she said. we're locked in. >> reporter: have the olympics been a good thing for you?
4:27 am
>> not good. >> reporter: not good also that heavy construction and security traffic has chewed up the road through town and turned it into a dustbowl. not good that digging in the quarry above the town has ruined their wells so that water has to be brought in by truck. yes, their complaints to local authorities have been ignored. basically the people of akhtyr are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, but it's not like they've got a lot of options. the villagers' sad story is not dmitry chernyshenko's problem. he's the sochi olympic czar. he's more interested in the torch, especially the sochi torch that works like a russian rifle. what's the plight of a few hundred villagers compared to the olympics.
