Romney: "We Must Not Have National Parks, Like The One I Built With My Own Hands That Is Vital To America's Future"

You almost can't keep up with the Romney flip-flops, it's like competing in a footrace against The Flash. After practically challenging Mike Huckabee to a fight for besmirching the honor of President Bush, he decided yesterday to claim Bush mismanaged the Iraq war. And then there's this:

I'll have pictures and a few anecdotes from Obama and Clinton later, but I wanted to bring attention to a rather strange comment that Romney made during his stump speech. He began a thread about all the great things that George Bush has accomplished, including lowering taxes (no surprise there) and then added that Bush has "strengthened our economy by getting us off of foreign oil." Huh? [...]

Romney went on to talk about the fact that oil just hit $100 a barrel today and then something about how we buy a bunch of oil from overseas and that we need to become energy independent. It was all said in a very earnest and serious tone, so it all felt very true, but it can't be, can it? I mean, Mitt just told us that George Bush freed us from our dependence on foreign oil, so who cares if it hits $100 a barrel, right?

This is very distilled flip-flopping, and I think if Mitt ends up getting the nomination he could finely hone this even further and take contradictory positions in the space of a single word, as in "The economy is rolling along at a great clip, but we must admit that it is in some areas weakbutstrong."
