Oops...sorry folks

Now that Tom Daschle has withdrawn his name from the running, Mr. Obama is "admitting" that he made a mistake.

"Ultimately, I campaigned on changing Washington and bottom-up politics," Obama said.

"And I don't want to send a message to the American people that there are two sets of standards -- one for powerful people and one for ordinary folks who are working every day and paying their taxes."

The why the *HELL* didn't you immediately withdraw his nomination as soon as you found out about his tax "blunder?" If I remember correctly, just a day ago Obama "fully supported" Daschle, right? Had Daschle not taken himself out of the running, Obama would have stayed his course and continued to "fully support" him.

You know, this business of just saying what he thinks people want to hear isn't going to last him for much longer. The American people aren't stupid and those who haven't already seen through him are going to very soon.
