backpedaler 

A person who makes a bold statement, then, upon reflection decides that they can't stand behind their reactive decision and does a flip-flop. The true backpedaler will carefully choose an alternate opinion designed to mask their original panic.
1. We have to re-evaluate our stance! This new development is going to kill us!

2. I *meant* that this new development may be strategically significant and we should evaluate the opportunities. :)

Backpedaling

Backpedaling is used when one is proven wrong in an arguement and don't want to get their ass whooped!

Jessica: Why are you spreading rumors about me?

Janice: I'm not spreading rumors about you!
Jessica: I seen it on your Facebook!
Janice: That's all a misunderstanding....
Jessica: Don't start backpedaling now that you've been caught!
Janice started backpedaling her story when Jessica threatened to beat her ass!
