One honest question I have is that considered Romeny's policy hopping, how can you guarentee what policies he would actually enact? That's my concern. 

Truth is, you have a point, but its not like Obama is much better....just look at his complete turnaround on foreign policy issues. Whether its intentional lying, naivety, or "flip-flopping", politician's campaign speeches are not a good source for determining what they are going to do once they are in office.

They are almost always incredibly optimistic about whats going to happen when on the campaign trail, then when they get in office, pragmatism and reality kick in.

How did Obama 180 on foreign policy?

The one that comes to mind quickist is Libya.

The anti-war Democrat pointed to this quote from candidate Obama in 2007: “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

Candidate Obama would think President Obama commited an impeachable offense.  I'd think that qualfies as at least a little bit of a flip flop.
