Iraq plan attracts party left,

The left-wing of the Democratic Party is delighted at Barack Obama's new plan to get out of the Iraq War as opinions from publications like the Daily Kos indicate.

He clearly is positioning himself in opposition to Clinton on this issue.

Chicago billionaire Penny Pritzker will be Obama's national finance chairman according to Chicago news sources. The Pritzker clan started the Hyatt hotel chain and is one of America's wealthiest families. The first big fundraiser will be on Feb. 11 in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

The candidate hopeful has instituted a righteous self-imposed ban on accepting money from federal lobbyists, political action committees, registered foreign agents and youths under the age of 16.
