Recently President Barack Obama has been keeping his commitment to Hilary Clinton befores she joins his cabinet. In the beginning of November she owed about 7.5 million to vendors for her campaign. With the help of Obama she has been able to trim down the debt. Clinton basically has to get rid of this debt before becoming secretary of state because one she does she will not be able to receive any donated money. Obama and his team are doing everything in their effort to make sure her debt is retired before she takes her new job.

Only a few more weeks before President Bush officially leaves office. On Friday December 5th Bush explained that the war an Iraq cost and took much longer than he expected. However he claimed that the world could not have left Saddam Hussein's power unchecked.
