First say it was your idea, then say its his bad idea...

The Obama campaign sent out an email on Tuesday after the debate stating that “McCain today said he had a new plan to allow the Treasury to purchase and restructure mortgages. The truth is that this is not a new proposal and is already part of the rescue plan that was signed into law. It was Obama, not McCain who called for this move two weeks ago.”

So as we have seen from the Obama campaign in the past, he takes credit for everything. He was against the Iraq War, even though he was not a Senator, he wrote a letter warning about sub prime mortgages yet that letter has never been released.

Then, in a turn of events, when I guess no one believed that it was his idea they decided to change their strategy. Obama's economic advisor, Jason Furman, came out and stated the following: “Since this (sic) beginning of this crisis, Barack Obama has demanded that any rescue plan must protect taxpayers and ensure that they share in any profit once the economy recovers, and he worked to include that principle in the plan that passed Congress. John McCain’s plan to overpay for bad mortgages by handing taxpayer dollars over to big financial institutions is erratic policy making at its worst, and it’s not the change we need to strengthen our economy, create new jobs and keep Americans in their homes.”

What is funny is that this is a horrible plan, one that was already included in the $700 Billion bailout. The one they both voted for. The one true conservatives have spoken out against. It is not Obama's plan, it is Henry Paulson and Bush's plan. I find it so interesting that Obama can shift positions so quickly and frequently just to appease someone. It goes to show that he is not a candidate of change, he is a typical politician.
