In a press conference Friday President Obama expressed support for the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, but video from 2008 shows then-presidential candidate Obama singing a different tune.

“This is an interesting thing that’s happened,” Obama said of a battle over the bank being led by a faction of House Republicans.

“This is a program in which we help to provide financing to sell American goods and products around the world. Every country does this.”

“It’s traditionally been championed by Republicans,” Obama continued. “For some reason, right now the House Republicans have decided that we shouldn’t do this.”
