Obama’s Recent Changes
It does seem Obama has been altering his positions lately. Frankly, though, I hate the words “flip flopper.” Look, any rational person should change their position upon discovery of new facts. The question is, what constitutes pandering and what constitutes a rational evolution of one’s opinions? MSM and bloggers alike are quick to jump on any politician that changes positions, regardless of their reasons.
The fact is, positions can and should change, even over a short-term. This “flip flopper” nonsense needs to stop because the diatribe makes no meaningful point or contribution. I would further argue that “flip flopping” could be a good thing. Perhaps we would have been better off if President Bush “flip flopped” on the war in Iraq, or on his government spending habbits.
