In political news, Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama has suggested he would increase the Pentagon’s budget if elected president. Obama made the comment during a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He said that because the Iraq War has depleted our military, “there’s probably going to be a bump under an Obama presidency in initial spending just to get back to where we were.”
