...began last month, after Obama came out in favor of the Supreme Court's decision striking down Washington's handgun ban. That was followed by a press conference in which he appeared to backtrack on his commitment to a speedy withdrawal from Iraq and by a speech to an Ohio ministry in which he pledged to expand George W. Bush's faith-based-initiative program. In an interview with FORTUNE, he said his critique of free trade during the primaries was "overheated and amplified."
