The Mayor Flip

Obama's pretty keen to dismiss Sarah Palin's experience as mayor but NRO's Media Blog points out that he was for mayors, before he was against them.

You see, back in those days, we weren't just focused on changing federal policies in Washington. And we weren't just focused on changing state policies in Springfield. No, we were focused on the place we knew could actually do the most, the fastest, to make a difference in our community — and that was the Mayor's Office.

It was the Mayor's Office we turned to when we wanted to open a job training center to put people back to work. It was the Mayor's Office we turned to when we wanted to make sure city housing was safe to live in. And it's the Mayors Office that Americans across this country rely on every day.

Now there's a sound-bite for a McCain campaign ad!

Obama used to think that mayors are important to the nation. But that was before he found himself facing off against a former mayor.

Funny how Obama and his followers suddenly seem to think that experience is so important- they do remember that he's running against John McCain, don't they?
