Barack Obama Flip-Flops With Fervor
By: David Limbaugh
For all of Kerry's reputed smoothness and Eastern intellect, he often tied himself in knots trying to reconcile his absurdly opposing positions. Obama can flip and flop with unmatched alacrity and facility and with the absence of self-consciousness and accountability of an accomplished sociopath. This guy doesn't even acknowledge he's changing positions; he does it without breaking a sweat and never looks back.
I just ask you to consider the common thread underlying all of these turnarounds (though just a partial list):
a) his condemnation of union contributions to the Clinton and Edwards campaigns as "special interest money" but his eager acceptance of such money for himself as coming from representatives of the "working people";
b) his flip on ending (January 2004) then retaining (August 2007) the Cuba embargo;
c) his March 2004 statement that opposed a crackdown on businesses hiring illegal immigrants, compared with his Jan. 31, 2008, debate statement endorsing such a crackdown;
d) his advocating the decriminalization of marijuana in January 2004 versus his Oct. 30, 2007, position opposing its decriminalization;
e) his jaw-dropping same-day flip on having Jerusalem remain the undivided capital of Israel;
f) his shameless reversal on NAFTA

After two weeks, Kurtz finally got his answer: the press think flip-flopping makes Obama a great politician. I kid you not:
