Barack Obama will cut Iraq War funding

Senator Barack Obama publicly expressed support for a cutoff of Iraq War funding if Congress does not override Bush's veto of the war bill.

Almost simultaneously, Senator Hillary Clinton also stated that she would vote for a cutoff to bring the Iraq War to a close.

These moves put tremendous pressure on Republicans to agree to a smooth redeployment of troops from Iraq.

Obama still the only to release tax records

So far, Barack Obama is the only candidate that has turned over his tax returns for public scrutiny. However, Senator Chris Dodd stated on Tuesday that he too will release his tax records.

Hillary Clinton and a number of other candidates filed extensions Tuesday asking for more time in disclosing personal finances for presidential candidates.
