Evil Bush Tax Cuts

During the Presidential campaign how many times did we hear Barack Obama criticize Senator McCain for changing his position in favor of the Bush tax cuts? How many times??

Over and over again, Senator Obama said that Republicans and John McCain only favored the rich and that the Bush tax cuts must be repealed right away because they only help the wealthy in this country. That's right those who favored the Bush tax cuts were just  evil money-grubbers.  

On Sunday the Obama team was out in full force on the talk shows back pedaling on the Bush tax cuts. They plan on keeping them in place until 2011. It is no longer the President-elect's first order of business. If Republican candidates only cared about the rich by supporting the Bush tax cuts, then what is Barack Obama now that he is not going to repeal them?

Clearly, Obama and his team have realized that the Bush tax cuts have helped the economy and it would hurt our economic conditions to repeal them. I am glad they have come to their senses temporarily. 

However, I am wondering if all the left leaning media outlets are willing to admit that Senator McCain was right to support the tax cuts or if they are willing to criticize Obama now that he favors them? How about Senator John Kerry who repeatedly attacked McCain for not being the same man in 2008 that he was in 2000 because he supported the Bush tax cuts?  

What about other Congressional Democrats? Will Speaker Pelosi denounce President-elect Obama for his new position?  Will she try to repeal them any ways?

I dare to dream that any one would point out that Barack has changed his position to the Republican point of view and that Senator McCain was correct
