FROM CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

HEAD: Obama Flips and Flops

WASHINGTON -- You'll notice Barack Obama is now wearing a flag pin. Again.
During the primary campaign, he refused to, explaining that he'd worn one
after 9/11 but then stopped because it "became a substitute for, I think,
true patriotism."

So why is he back to sporting pseudo-patriotism on his chest? Need you ask?
The primaries are over. While seducing the hard-core MoveOn Democrats that
delivered him the caucuses -- hence, the Democratic nomination -- Obama not
only disdained the pin. He disparaged it. Now that he's running in a general
election against John McCain, and in dire need of the gun-and-God-clinging
working-class votes he could not win against Hillary Clinton, the pin is
back. His country 'tis of thee.

In last week's column, I thought I had thoroughly chronicled Obama's brazen
reversals of position and abandonment of principles -- on public financing
of campaigns, on NAFTA, on telecom immunity for post-9/11 wiretaps, on
unconditional talks with Ahmadinejad -- as he moved to the center for the
general election campaign. I misjudged him. He was just getting started.
