Rumored 2008 Presidential Candidate Barack Obama has written an op-ed piece for the Washington Post entitlted “A Chance to Change The Game“.

Though not the same it does contain a “I voted for it before I voted against it” moment in regard to Ethics Reform legislation:

“Last year, I was hopeful that scandals would finally shame Congress into meaningful ethics legislation. But after the headlines faded, so did the enthusiasm for reform. In the end, I found myself voting against the final ethics bill because it was too weak and unresponsive to the obvious need for comprehensive reform.”
