Message Democrat Obama doesn't like charges of flip-flopping:1rof1:

* Obama says no softening of Iraq position

* McCain says "definitely" been shift in Obama's opinions

* Liberals criticize Obama's actions

By Caren Bohan

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga., July 8 (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama rejected charges on Tuesday that he has shifted positions on Iraq and other issues as part of a move to the political center now that he is his party's nominee.

As he positions himself for the battle against Republican John McCain, the Illinois senator softened an earlier vow to reopen the North American Free Trade Agreement, did not oppose a Supreme Court decision striking down Washington's gun ban and said he would support expanding the government's wiretap authority.

Most recently, he signaled greater flexibility on his pledge to quickly pull U.S. troops out of Iraq, telling reporters last week he might "refine" his views based on what happens on the ground.

Asked about his Iraq policy at a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Obama rejected claims he was softening his insistence on a withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country.

He also said he hoped he could more generally counter "this whole notion that I am shifting to the center or that I'm flip-flopping or this or that."

"You know, the people who say this apparently haven't been listening to me," Obama said.

Obama, who has a single-digit lead over McCain in the polls heading toward the November election, has also been criticized by some liberal supporters, particularly over his support for electronic eavesdropping legislation.

Pundits believe he is attempting to position himself closer to the center in hopes of winning over independent voters, moderate Democrats and some Republican voters who have grown disenchanted with Bush.

'LURCHING' TO THE RIGHT?

In an opinion piece in Tuesday's New York Times, columnist Bob Herbert accused Obama of "lurching" away from liberal positions. "Senator Obama is not just tacking gently toward the center," Herbert said. "He's lurching right when it suits him, and he's zigging with the kind of reckless abandon that's guaranteed to cause disillusion, if not whiplash.":whip:
