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.”

Obama’s Army story seems as truthful as Hillary’s Marines story.
Keep talking Obama... Keep talking...any Counselor will tell you that usually your “ off the cuff, first response”..speaks volumes.
Can someone explain to Obama that the Girl Scouts despite their lovely Berets are not part of our military....
A take-off on a liberal public service message popular on Air America stations: "There once was a country which was ALMOST defended by a man who ALMOST joined the military. Don't ALMOST join."
I think Obama thinks he gets to play the movie “Ground Hog Day”, where he gets to keep trying over and over again until he gets it right.
My point was that Obama can't even draw the line after giving birth when there's no argument at all left.
Which simply proves he's being completely disingenuous at best. Or in other words, he's trying lawyer himself out of a jam and he's been caught lying.
Outside an abortion clinic, wouldn't a person be charged with a crime for not rendering aid to a living baby?
Obamadon during Ramadan regrets being dumbadon.
Piss off 0bama, your first answer revealed who you are and what you're about.
You don't get a do-over.
This behavior would not be acceptable for a dog but somehow Barry “I just want to help women” Hussein thinks it is ok for women.
Join the military, you say? Wouldn’t he have to show his birth certificate?
Mr obama, if you don't know, as you say you don't, then err on the side of caution. A good start would be to sit in a very public place and watch those who pass before you. Imagine everyone you see to have never existed. Forty million times.
Maybe the title of this article should be Sex, Lies and Videotapes! Anyway it sounds like Barry is throwing Code Pink under the bus. I sure hope so because, Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned, and Medea Benjamin is a real piece of cr@p.
So essentially Barry O was for the Army, before he was against it... LOL
Actually I believe Hillary’s Marine story, Our recruiters are very selective.
Odd then that when he answered the question at Saddle Back, he said, "looking at it from a theological perspective or... a scientific perspective...".
His own mother was a “single mom” and did not choose to abort him. And Im going to use discretion and not finish the rest of this statement.

Obama’s record on abortion is clear.
Just get the empty suit off a prepared speach and he will self destruct.
