Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

WASHINGTON - 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.

That’s not the Obama he knew!
No one with half a brain believes that you are a Christian, Obama.
Barry, better get the word to your running mate. He used "above my pay grade" in a Meet The Press interview today...
Anyone who professes to be a Christian yet supports unlimited abortion is deceived by the Devil.
I’m tellin ya’ Obama’s internal poll numbers are getting so bad that he’s now throwing himself under the bus!
Thank you Mr. Obama for promoting the fact that lack of conviction leads to personal wishy washy confusion.
Now we know you.
Too flippent of a remark, Obama? Ya think? After two weeks, you’re ready to admit it?
What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into ...”
There’s nothing humble about equivocating in matters of good and evil. To claim to not be able to recognize evil due to one’s humility is nothing of the sort, but rather is of itself evil.
Rudy had him pegged accurately. He has never faced a real crisis. Now that his campaign is actually being challenged, we are understanding his true nature under pressure.
This is NOT a pretty picture.
Gosh, Baraq, do you really think the termination of 49+ million human lives is something to joke about?
Obama is the perfect democrat, his favorite color is gray.
The Axelrod spin machine is still trying to hide the much worse truth about Obama’s flippant response to Rick Warren’s question. Obama didn’t answer Rick’s question because he was trapped by his own ghoulish history of defending the killing of preemies by neglect.
This “pay grade” answer was his equivalent of voting “present.” He doesn’t give a hoot about the moral implications of abortion and as usual was hedging for minimum political damage. Now that he’s exposed, the issue is suddenly worthy of more consideration. What an amoral putz.
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Obama's non-answer (he typically voted present in IL, not yes or no) of 'above his pay grade' followed an obfuscation of what Pastor Warren asked!
You see, Obama likely expected a question regarding his stance protecting the evil of killing infants born alive by neglecting them until they struggle and die. What Obama had been programmed to do was immediately misdirect the discussion away from his actual defense of this evil (three times in the IL legislature), to obfuscate over the supposedly more ambiguous question of when a conception becomes a human being!
Rick Warren asked the precisely correct question to expose Obama's history of opposing the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in IL. Obama had been programmed to change the question focus to the more nebulous question of when the newly conceived become 'functional' human beings. He's still trying to divert attention from his actual record of defending the killing by neglect of forced birth preemies.
Democrat Party ghouls have been protecting their defense of slaughtering the alive unborn by diverting away from obvious truths that Americans can and will agree upon, to confuse the issues using this same diversion tactic. Obama knew he would be asked about his defense of this evil way to kill preemies and he instictively changed the question to address the pre-planned misdirection which has kept this evil in our midst.
What Obama could have said to defend his repeated opposition to a born alive infant protection act? He had no option but to change the focus, to try and confuse the issue, because he has defended the killing by neglect of terminating pregnancies! He has proven with his legislative work tyhat he doesn't believe a born infant should have human rights unless the female extends them to the child.
Obama does not agree with the concept of unalienable right to LIFE. Warren exposed this with his question and Obama did his usual shuffle switch to answer something he was programmed for not what was actaully asked.
Obamma Lamma Ding Dong advocates killing babies.
Nuff said.
Oh, he’s a lot more radical than just supporting Roe v Wade. He is defender of murdering ALREADY BORN INFANTS by neglecting to give them medical support so they struggle and die unattented, ALONE. The man is a damned ghoul. PERIOD.
