Mitt Romney has elevated the tactics of pandering, flip-flopping and endless reinvention to a level of high art — or vaudeville.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has long been accused of lacking “core” values. This assessment of Romney’s dubious character has come from those on both the left and the right of the political spectrum.

Obama political adviser David Axelrod told CBS News in March: “There is a sense there is no core to him.”

Republican Jon Huntsman concurred: “When you combine a record of uncertainty — running first [for] senator as a liberal, governor as a moderate, then as a conservative for the presidency — people wonder where your core is.”

And after a relatively well-received speech on Wednesday to the NAACP, Romney proved what we already knew: The mirror has two faces. The former Massachusetts governor started by pandering only slightly, complimenting the organ music and appearing to identify with the soulful sounds. His demeanor appeared humble as he thanked the leaders and audience for their reception. The speechincluded quotes and references to the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass and former NAACP Executive Director Benjamin Hooks.

Romney made a bold proclamation: “If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you’re looking at him.” Comments like that were met with booing and were seen by many in the audience as a slight to President Obama, who retains high approval ratings among black voters. Yet Romney stood his ground and vowed to repeal “Obamacare,” which he called “nonessential” and “expensive.”
