I found the juxtaposition of a list of Obama’s flip-flops followed by his denial that he is, in fact, a flip flopper in this article rather amusing.

As he positions himself for the battle against Republican John McCain, the Illinois senator abandoned a vow to reopen the North American Free Trade Agreement, did not oppose a Supreme Court decision striking down Washington’s gun ban and said he would support expanding the government’s wiretap authority.

Most recently, he signaled more flexibility on his pledge to quickly pull U.S. troops out of Iraq, telling reporters last week he might “refine” his views based on what happens on the ground.

Asked about his Iraq policy at a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Obama rejected claims he was softening his insistence on a withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country.

He also said he hoped he could more generally counter “this whole notion that I am shifting to the center or that I’m flip-flopping or this or that.”

Shorter Obama: Please ignore the fact that I’ve actually been flip-flopping on certain key issues and only pay attention to what I tell you, which is that I’m not flip-flopping at all.

The sad thing?  Most of Obama’s disciples will be all too willing to go along.
