Obama Hated Commissions and Now He Loves Them

It seems made up - how Obama can pull a 180 in such a short amount of time, but it's true.

Here's Barack in 2008, as a candidate:

Senator McCain's first answer to this economic crisis was - get ready for it - a commission. That's Washington-speak for 'we'll get back to you later.

Obama continued to make fun of McCain:

Folks, we don't need a commission to spend a few years and a lot of taxpayer money to tell us what's going on in our economy, he continued. We don't need a commission to tell us gas prices are high or that you can't pay your bills. We don't need a commission to tell us you're losing your jobs. We don't need a commission to study this crisis, we need a President who will solve it - and that's the kind of President I intend to be.

And now 18 months later, Obama has established 4 different commissions, including one to figure out why the economy is so bad and what can be done about it. Hmmm. I'd like to be able to say that I'm surprised Obama had lied so egregiously.
