Obama takes the McCain road?

Is Obama now going to do what he campaigned against McCain on? I didn't think he was going to tax the middle class?

Update:

Cosmo- read the story. If I have to explain it to you I may spin it a way you won't like. Learn to think for yourself. But beware, when you do that you may not like what you see.

    He already has. Obama came down hard on McCain for his comments about wanting to do a slow draw-down of our troops in Iraq and leave a small support force as long as they weren't in harms way. Even Hillary wanted to do a slow draw-down but when she mentioned it Obama slammed her too. But shortly after he took over as President he said he was going to do a slow draw-down over an 18 month period. On top of that he even mentioned about wanting to leave 50,000 troops in the area as a support force. Gee, where have I heard that from before? Wasn't that almost what McCain said? What happened to all Obama's campaign promises to "get our troops out now"? Now that Obama is in power most of the kool aid drinkers have conveniently forgotten all that. Only the hard left nut jobs on Moveon.org and Code Pink are voicing displeasure with the Great One's flip-flop in regards to getting out of Iraq.

    Anyhow, Obama is already taking the McCain road. You just don't here the Obama loving media talking about it as they are too busy trying to cover up for the Great One.
