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:

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.
