Apr. 11, Headlines - Presumptive Republican nominee John McCain entered the debate over China's
2008 Olympics. He said President Bush should 'evaluate his participation'.
McCain said if Chinese treatment of Tibetans doesn't change, he would not attend
the opening ceremonies.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton called on the
President to take action earlier this week. Barack
Obama has not. He said at
a campaign stop that it's difficult to tell your banker what to do.
Barack Obama
says he is in favor of changing the "don't ask,
don't tell" policy on the military.
But he stopped short of making a repeal a requirement for his
appointees to the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
In addition Obama told The Advocate,
a gay news magazine, that if he were to become president he would also work
for legislation banning discrimination against gays in the workplace. Obama
granted the magazine an interview after it claimed he had been avoiding gay
press.
