Obama says he was too flip on abortion question

WASHINGTON (AP)—Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday that he was probably too flip when he said it was “above my pay grade” to answer a question about when is a baby entitled to human rights.

Obama gave his answer last month at a nationally televised religious forum sponsored by minister Rick Warren at his megachurch in Orange County, Calif.

Asked on Sunday whether the “above my pay grade” answer was too flip, Obama said: “Probably. ...What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into ... It’s a pretty tough question [Well, only if you don’t read the Bible].

“And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don’t presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions,” he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” [Obamaspinmeister: It was not a theological question, it was asked and answered by SCOTUS and every politician should have a position as it impacts abortion.]

In a separate interview, the answer to a similar question came easier for Obama’s running mate, Sen. Joe Biden.

A Roman Catholic, Biden said he accepts his church’s teachings that life begins at conception, but that the issue is personal for him. He said it wouldn’t be right to impose his views on others who are just as religious as he is. [But he imposes his views on others by supporting choice and opposing Life. He is a backer of abortion (State sponsored murder of the innocent) on demand)

“I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception. But that is my judgment,” Biden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.”

The Democrat Party: All spin all the time! We spin everything at supersonic speed until it is impossible to know what we believe about anything.

At least Biden had the guts to say he believed life begins at conception, even though he acts against that alleged belief everyday. Obama still totally avoided taking a stand of any kind, he makes Billy Jeff proud!

“And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don’t presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions,”

Thank you Barack.  H has been defending you in the strangest ways.  Nice to see we all heard you correctly, all but H that is.


“Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership when in retrospect I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong. By the way, I wish my Republican colleagues would admit that they missed the early warning signs, that Wall Street deregulation was overheating the securities market and promoting dangerously lax lending practices. When it comes to the debacle in our capital markets, there is much blame to go around for both sides.”

HG, your signature needs updated. Obama on the O’Reilly Factor Thursday night said:

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama told O’Reilly in an interview taped Thursday in York, PA. “It’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” (09/04/2008)

Thanks JazzyKat.  I heard that too.  I’ll update it. 

I love Palin response to BO’s ignorant claim that nobody anticipated it would work.  Even in defeat he wants to take the rest of us down with him.

With all the technology we have today it is a FACT that Life begins at conception. At 8 weeks the baby has everything that a human needs to exist.  The abortionist’s love to ignore the truth about abortion. This is 2008. The myths of what abortion means from 1973 are nothing more than a doctors ignorance that have unfortunately left millions of babies murdered legally.
