I thought his speech on why there should be no tax holidary made a lot of sense. He did not seem overly critical of the other candidates. He merely explained why they were wrong, and said why they were advocating it (for votes). I do think his speech may have been a bit stronger if he had mentioned why he voted for it in Illinois and what was different about that decision (e.g. learning from his mistake, or different situation), but I wouldn't say it's a huge strike against him.
In fact, I think a politician changing his/her mind can be a good sign, so long as it isn't done capriciously. As times change, so too should policies, and we want somebody who can learn from their mistakes instead of making them again and again. I do trust Obama more than Clinton or McCain, but I wouldn't say he's an ideal candidate. I would like it if he had more experience, but I think he has adequate experience.
