You were saying ...

The ultimate social chameleon....

Yes, indeed ... :-)

Actually, I've heard several other Christian pastors refer to Obama as being an adherent to "sycnretism" ...

Syncretism

Syncretism is the attempt to reconcile disparate or contrary beliefs, often while melding practices of various schools of thought. The term means "combining," but see below for the origin of the word. Syncretism may involve attempts to merge and analogise several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, and thus assert an underlying unity allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths.

Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of arts and culture (see eclecticism) as well as politics (see syncretic politics).

This is the category that most adequately explains Obama, I think ...

Syncretism - - his attempt to reconcile disparate/contrary beliefs.

His inability to commit to an ideology, plan of action, conclusion due to his fear of alienating someone who does not hold the same belief/s. This fear is directly related to the constant campaign mode in which he finds himself.

Yup. Like I said “social chameleon.” I love finding sc’s in social situations where they have represented themselves as many different characters to a number of people in attendance. They spin and whirl trying to be all things all at once. It is hilarious!
