Im not finding where Romney is supposed to have changed his position of repealing obomacare.

How about Romney making it materially harder to overturn Obamacare?

If Romney contends that Obamacare does not impose a tax, then it will take 60 votes in the Senate to get past a Democratic filibuster. Whereas if Romney agrees that Obamacare does impose a tax, then it will only take 50 votes plus the vote of the Vice President to overturn Obamacare.

Nonsense.

This is not true and has never been true.

0bamacare was passed via a budget reconciliation gimmick which allowed the 'rats to subvert the normal process, and this left them open to the same mechanism for repeal. The Majority ACA opinion has NO BEARING on the rules of the Senate: we NEVER needed 60 votes.
