I tried looking for stories to back up your recollection, but find nothing.

I'll be honest with you, it was highlighted in a package that Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" put together a couple of weeks ago. They ran clips of Fox News personalities around 2007 saying Bush couldn't control international influences and then followed it up with clips from years later (over the past few weeks) the same guys saying that Obama could.
It's just like how, when the Democrats came up with a $100B deficit reduction package over 10 years (during last year's budget squabbles), the GOP reps called it a "drop in the bucket" and worthless - but when they came out with their OWN package, with the SAME bottomg line numbers, the SAME guy came out and said it was a "good down payment".
It's partisanship. It goes both ways. It always has but it only seems to be getting worse.
