Obama's Oscillationist Style

He was for releasing CIA interrogation photos before he was against it. He was against having military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees before he was for it. And he was against taxing employer-provided health-care benefits before he was open to it. Ready to try another position? Maybe this is why it's a called a Presidential Honeymoon.

Obama's team of communicators informs us almost daily that we're being led by a "pragmatist". Translation: he's so down-to-earth he's over our heads. But if the Ministry of Onomastics needs a pseudo-philosophical "ism" to dignify Obama's sketchy statesmanship, wouldn't oscillationism capture it better?
