Isolated Scope '=' passes a string instead of the object

I'm trying to pass a model (Object) into the scope of the directive but it is passing a string instead of the object.

The directive html.

<blabla obj="obj"></blabla>

Directive:

.directive( 'blabla' , function(){
return {
    restrict : 'E',
    replace: 'true',
    scope :{
        obj : '=obj'
    },
    link : function(scope , elem , attrs){ console.log(attrs);
      scope.obj = attrs.obj;
    }
}})

Then in the controller I have:

$scope.obj = { name : "obj"};

And this is what I get in the console

obj: "obj"

Am I missing something? Why is it rendering 'obj' as a String instead of fetching the object? If I print the object on the page it works, but it doesn't work to pass it into the directive.

Don't use attrs.obj. You should already have obj on the scope once the link function is run
