>> by working together in creating a fair simpler tax code we can give our country a stronger and healthier economy. after four years of bitterness and divisiveness the republican leaders talk about working together with president obama following his reelection. good evening imi, a terror. our top story seen around the country tonight, could it be a true all of branch the house speaker handed the president after turmoil on capitol hill the last four years. chicago voters say

they hope it is as they gathered near the president's home on the south side before the first family left the city to get back to washington. the president reached out to party leaders on both sides of the aisle to get a jumpstart on the tough work coming up. meanwhile, the enthusiasm at the hyde park neighborhood is much different today than four years ago supporters are happy and relieved that he won reelection and at the same time they say they expect better results during his second term in celebration of another win for the famous neighbor free breakfast this morning at the diner one of barack obama's favorite hyde park restaurants but as supporters enjoy the victory day expressed immediate concern the president won't get much done with the republican controlled house of representatives. about 100

enthusiastic supporters cheered and chanted hoping the president might come out and shake some hands they had to settle for a quick wave as his motorcade passed by at about 130 those we spoke with say they're happy one and are hopeful that his second term will be more productive. we will give him a little more time. >> i think the economy should improve if everyone is on board from the left and right side there should be a middle ground. today emanuel called his reelection a win for the middle class. before leaving chicago president obama stopped by his campaign headquarters in to spend about 45 minutes thinking staffers he and the first family boarded air force one later in the afternoon to head back to washington where some serious

challenges are awaiting him in rising national debt into the so-called fiscal cliff president barack obama spoke with the senate majority leader harry reid about the need for bipartisanship in a news conference today the speaker hinted that republicans are willing to rethink how they negotiate with the president moving forward. >> we are ready to be led, not as democrats or republicans but as americans. we want you to lead not is a liberal or conservative but as president of the united states of america. >> the speaker says he is not suggesting that republicans compromise on their principles but he says they need to create a common ground. harry reid meanwhile help his own news conference today saying both parties will have to work together to tackle the deficit but added last night the

american people send a clear message to congress that people making all this money have to contribute a little bit more. >> $6 billion on the entire election and not much change the balance of power remains the same in congress, democrats will pick up a few seats but not nearly enough to overtake the strong republican holds into they strengthen their advantage gaining a few seats when the new class is sworn in in january 8th record of 20 women will be u.s. senators. talking about what may be on the agenda for the next four years. i guess the question is not do you believe him but can it work? >> i believe he wants to make a deal he is a deal maker from swayback if my body were here he

would say well john gaynor was talking the same way earlier this year before the grand bargain fell apart and that would be true. he is right. that is still the same challenge they got a head and i think that obama has thebeen reelected we don't want the same four years of gridlock. what do you see in his future? >> i'm thinking about second term will be known by richard nixon and george w. bush they all had either scandals or real setbacks he came into

office so right now he really has a challenge ahead to be more like an lbj or a clinton who can make things happen not just introduce bills but twist arms. some days he has not had it in him enough. we have said that a lot about him and it's true. in the very first debate everyone was saying he did so poorly next to romney because obama by nature is not a confrontational but when the chips were down in the second debate he became confrontational and it was very effective. he knows what his weaknesses are he also knows what the weaknesses in the proposition are. he may want to

put his imprint on presidential history here, will the t partiers will they say my job is to make him a one-term president will he do that even though there appears to be a melting at the moment? >> mr. mcconnell obviously failed in making him a one-term president now he faces reelection two years from now in 2014 and he is afraid of palm... he will have more pressure to be more conservative now but at the same time he is the republican leader he has to produce something some of the t partiers are not going back like joe walsh in the house and others are really at a point where these people ask what are

you doing down there? i think we're going to see some changes. to think things may change >> he was harking back to his lovely days of no rights states no blue states we knew that wasn't true when he said it bought it sounds good he is aspiring once again and he can be very inspiring. he needs people to watch his back i think. with the election over wall street today the dow jones industrial average 313 points we are left wondering how the president is going to negotiate the biggest issue facing the u.s. economy as clarence pointed out the fiscal cliff tax hikes automatically go into effect january, should politicians not

agree on the nation's fiscal matters and get them under control? a chicago man left fighting for his life after a brutal attack near the red line and family members say it all started with one cell phone also a teenager sexually assaulted on election day just blocks from the president's home. the second powerful storm battering the northeast, now they are holding up is the wind and snow and their way?
