Obama: "Same Old Tax-and-Spend Democrat"?

Someone please tell me why anyone would vote for this guy?  He was clearly not ready for the job, he's implemented ruinous policies and now--get this--he's beginning to tell us that we were right.  For example:

"In the magazine article, Mr. Obama reflects on his presidency, admitting that he let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,” realized too late that “there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects” and perhaps should have “let the Republicans insist on the tax cuts” in the stimulus".

He didn't just "look" like a tax-and-spend Democrat, he was one.  What Republicans said about the stimulus--that if you feel you have to have one--load it up with getting money out the door in the form of tax cuts that go immediately to people who will spend money, is now validated in the President's wistful meanderings on the cusp of seeing his House majority squandered.

This guy is not ready, and we need him gone in 2012.
