when campaigning:
the campaign printed up and passed out "buy american, vote obama" stickers and he used it as an issue to attack john mccain

once elected, when china and the e.u. complained about "buy american" provisions that steel industry lobbyists - via democrat byron dorgan - stuck into the stimulus package:
said he didn't agree with them and that they should be taken out

when the unions complained about that:
said he didn't mean what he said about not wanting the provisions he used to champion when he was campaigning, but that he would clarify what he really meant at some point.
maybe.
