Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) signed on Thursday as a cosponsor to the Fair Currency Act, a bill aimed at penalizing China and other countries that manipulate currency. Obama said he was cosponsoring the act because China has been “dumping goods into American markets while failing to open its own; violating intellectual property rights; and grossly undervaluing its currency thereby giving its goods another unfair advantage.”

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) offered her support for that bill on Wednesday (WSJ).
