* He ripped Hillary Clinton for months for voting to list Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. Days after Clinton conceded, Obama flipped and said he supported the definition.

* Obama repeatedly vowed to meet with various heads of terror states - most notably Ahmadinejad of Iran - "without preconditions." Then, with the nomination in sight, he zigzagged: "There's no reason why we would necessarily meet with Ahmadinejad. He's not the most powerful person in Iran."

* In October, he supported NAFTA expansion. In March, campaigning in the Ohio primary, he called for a "reopening" of the trade pact's terms. This week, he called his own primary rhetoric "overheated" and said NAFTA has had a positive effect on the US economy.

* Yesterday, after signaling opposition to nuclear power, he told Democratic governors he's open to expanding it.

Some people call this "being open-minded".

Conservatives don't, because that phrase isn't in a conservative's vocabulary.

Yes, it is quite convenient that he can change his mind so quickly. Criticize Hillary for it, then a few days later support it. Of course, if Romney does this, it isn't changing his mind.

Isn't it odd that Obama was against Coal, for Coal, and back against coal in all under a month... Guess his mind is pretty fickle.

Of course Obama calls it having heated campaign rhetoric....not a flip flop.

As long as you are consistent and don't call Romney a flip flopper.....whoops.

Why not call Romney a flip-flopper? He's a part of the party that is supposed to not change its mind.

If Obama does it, his followers call it "open minded".

If a Republican does it, they call it flip-flopping.

The true integrity of the dems shows its head again.

I would totally vote for this guy over incumbent Obama:


Barack Obama "Public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk" - YouTube

Someone, find out who this is, so we can start campaigning for him and get Obama out! Obama is the exact opposite of this guy, it would be a clear contrast.

That's because the definition of a conservative is someone who doesn't change their mind.

Not quite, but that is a good way to simplify it for a 5 year old to look at the world.

Sorry man, but that's a load of BS. The ones calling Romney for flip flopping aren't 'dems'. Was it a Democrat that called him out for being an etch-a-sketch? Nope, another Republican. It's the Republican base who have always been pining about flip floppers. The other candidates he has been competing against called him out on it too.

It was also a knock against him by many voters in the REPUBLICAN primaries where people said they didn't really know his opinions on things.

Feel free to take some personal responsibility here and stop blaming everything on the left. Thus far, the attacks on each of the Republican hopefuls has all been within their own party. There's not even an official Republican nominee yet.
