Obama Looks to Compromise on War Funding

ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Paul Fidalgo Report: ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos went on the road with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Friday and asked the Democratic presidential hopeful if he would vote for a war-funding bill that includes benchmarks but not a timetable.

Obama never directly answered the question but he signaled that he could support a compromise that did not include a timetable for withdrawal.

"It’s going to depend on what the bill looks like," said Obama. "I don’t believe in giving George Bush a blank check."

After Stephanopoulos followed up, Obama said: "There’s got to be something that signals the president is changing course and that there are consequences to the Iraqi government failing to meet some of the benchmarks that we’re talking about."

The full Obama interview — in which he answered all the big questions about his infamous land deal, ethics reform, taxes, his new Secret Service protection, Social Security privatization, affirmative action, and what role anger plays while campaigning for president — airs Sunday morning on "This Week."
