Obama considered joining military, regrets abortion answer By: Mike Allen September 7, 2008 09:11 AM EST

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) says his answer about abortion at the Saddleback Church forum was “probably” too flip.

During separate televised interviews last month, Pastor Rick Warren asked the two presidential candidates when a baby gets human rights. Obama replied that the question is “above my pay grade,” while Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won love from the right by saying quickly, “At the moment of conception.”

Now, Obama tells ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview taped for “This Week”: “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. And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions.”

Somebody should tell Obama that there both crappy answers.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

What Obama intended to say before he actually said is that he wanted to say what he could have said.

[NoGrayZone]

"What I intended to say is that"

He always says one thing, then comes out later, after seeing public reaction, with his "intentions". What a buffoon!

[phil1750]

Best quote I've read in years, and I can't remember who said it,"Anyone who has ever bought condoms, believes that life begins at conception."

[sasafras]

Heck Obama (the baby killer) second answer is worse. What kind of idiots would vote for an empty suity like Obama? It really shows how far the GOP has sunk, that an idiot, filthy, lying, baby killing, crook and elitist like Obama could even capture the American public’s attention.

If the GOP wants to capture both houses of congress and the presidency then they need to take a clue from Palin and quit acting like metrosexual country club elitist and take the fight to the dems. Go on the offensive with the liberal media and dare them to enact the ‘fairness doctrine’ - force ALL the networks to run equal conservative opinion.

BHO makes me sick.

Pray for the unborn.

What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility

2 big fat lies...Hes not a Christian and has no humility.

“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

Good lord, break out the hip-waders - and the gas mask - that pile of BS is so high and smelly I can't even believe it.

[Petronski]

He says he’s a Christian but he acts and sounds like a godless socialist.

He doesn’t regret the answer, he regrets that it came off so badly.

[stylin19a]

Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.

I can't find where he ever made this statement before. statement. Anybody know if it's in any of his books ? If not.... LIAR,LIAR pants on fire.

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

He still cannot and will not answer the question directly.

Maybe that's because he real thoughts along religious lines in general have already been quoted.

"Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible."

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

IMHO, the sicekning, digusting, dangerous truth about Hussein and his ilk, make it imperative that any patriotic, God-fearing, liberty-loving American oppose him and help put his efforts to gain the Presidency down. That's why...

[DooDahhhh]

If you are a woman and have ever had a child, you know that conception is the answer. you start loving it the minute you know it is there!

[jgilbert63]

I guess since he ‘considered’ joining the military, that gives him military experience equivalent to that of George Patton. After all, campaigning for two years gave him executive experience equivalent to or greater than that of Gov Palin.

[television is just wrong]

so obama punished his wife at least twice that we know of?

[NOBAMA in 08]

After weeks of preperation for the obvious question, Osama Obama HUSSEIN gave a FLIP Extreme Left Answer! and now two weeks later, he wants to change the HORRIBLE answer to another equally HORRIBLE answer!

Osama Obama HUSSEIN IS A WORD AND THOUGHT WHORE!!!
There is nothing this Prostitute stands for except his own Pathetic SELF!!! Obama would throw his two precious daughters under a REAL TRAIN to a certain Horrible Death if he was reasonably sure it would forward his own personal self-interest!
Barack Hussein Obama is a Horrific, Pathetic Empty Suited Evil MAN/BOY!

[John123]

Is Obama asking for a mulligan because his campaigning is his executive job experience?

Let's suppose we were all stupid enough to elect him for our next President... what is he going to do when the first crisis hits US?

Ask for another mulligan from AQ, Russia, Iran or North Korea? I don't think so...

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Let’s be sure to get a clip of this Obama response put up on youtube so we can send Obama’s Saddleback clip and this clip to our friends.

[Mr Rogers]

That was another obscenely dishonest line, IMHO. I was in ROTC in 1978 (later dropped out, then went to OTS in ‘83). In 1979, when he said he considered joining, we were NOT popular. On a very conservative campus in UTAH, I got a lot of strange looks and disparaging remarks wearing a uniform. I cannot imagine the response in much more liberal HAWAII.

Sorry, but this rates right up with Hillary claiming she wanted to join the Marines. In a pig’s eye, she did!

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

Ok...? It isn’t just a theological question. It is a legal secular question and if elected President a question you must be able to answer either due to a legislative bill appearing on your desk or when selecting a supreme court justice. So 0bama, we still are waiting for your real answer, although I can presume what it will be by looking at your record.
