Hello on this Tuesday, the 25 day of March 2008. I'm Kristin Volk with a UPI Headline Update. Senator Hillary Clinton is admitting that she misspoke last week when she recounted her dangerous arrival in Bosnia twelve years ago. The Democratic presidential hopeful said she landed under sniper fire, but video footage of the arrival showed Clinton and her daughter calmly walking from the plane. The New York senator said it was minor blip. Her rival, Senator Barack Obama and his campaign say the misstatement is part of a growing list of instances where Clinton exaggerated her role in foreign policy. The White House is not expected to pull out additional troops from Iraq in the near future. The news comes two days after four U.S. soldiers were killed in that country, bringing the military death toll to 4,000. Next month, President Bush is expected to announce the next steps in the war, and at that time, he's likely to agree with a pause in any troop withdrawals beyond those scheduled to end this July. U.S. home prices have taken a record tumble in the past year. Those prices have fallen 10.7 percent in 20 major metro areas. That's according to Standard and Poor's. Charlotte, North Carolina is the only city that's held onto a meager appreciation of 1.8 percent. Falling home values have eroded Americans' wealth, but analysts say it's a necessary ingredient in getting the housing market growing again. Children who participated in yesterday's annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House now have heavier Easter baskets. Yesterday, thousands of children pushed eggs across a stretch of grass on the South Lawn with giant spoons. At the festivities, President Bush got cozy with the Eater bunny and First Lady Laura and daughter Jenna Bush read stories to the children. The popular band, The Jonas Brothers, performed with national anthem. Each child took home a commemorative White House wooden Easter egg and lots of candy!
