Obama changes for Christians?
Do you find it interesting that Obama says things like ,"I don't want my daughters to be punished with a baby." and on his website he is totally pro-choice, but as soon as he goes to an evangelical forum he says, "Abortion choice is above my paygrade."
Also what about Obama totally supporting gay marriage on his website but when asked at the Christian Forum again he said, "Marriage is between one man and one woman."
What do you think? Flip-flop? Pandering? Honest mistake? Eloquence?

Well...the abortion thing I still have to hear. People are making a big deal about that "above my paygrade thing" and maybe rightfullly so. But I haven't heard it yet, so I hold my opinion.
Obama is probably the first presidential candidate to come out and support gay marriage. But, you are probably somewhat accurate: he was pandering to the christian groups a little bit. By saying a "civil union" it makes him seem more open to all groups. Means the same thing..it's just different sytax.

First of all: STOP WITH THAT. If you want to criticize him do it right. He said answering whether life began at conception or birth was above his pay grade..
Do You know the Answer to that question?
You must either be a biologist or physician?
Why do people think there opinion is the correct one just cause it's theirs?

the obama people overlook anything he screws up on---there mind is already made up and they no longer look a things with an open mind---- as an independent i was leaning towards obama but have changed and will now definitely vote for McCain---imagine this----obama & his v.p. and pelosi-hillary and bill with a democratic congress running this country---obama has promised most anything you want to hear but how will he pay for it--however it is; it will be with your money via higher taxes-----your choice----take your pick

McCain was PRO -Choice until a few years back when he realized that the G O P wouldn't back him with That position

He's always felt that way.
Funny how you can't even back up that it was a flip flop.
He kept it real amongst those hypocrites.
Mccain on the other hand... rub them the right way. Go figure!
