How many people think that the job of the presidency is above OBAMA'S paygrade?

Update:

    It's not that it's above his pay grade. It's just that it's above his capacity.

    Okay put this in perspective - when he made that comment he was at a faith forum where most responses are expected be of that nature. When asked when does life begin he actually gave the only true answer a faithful Christian can give.

    That answer religiously or scientifically is above my pay grade - meaning that is Gods call not his or mine.

    Remember the bible says - judge not least yet be judged.

    To make a determination as to when life is actually conceived, and begins is making a judgment as to when sperm and egg are no longer sperm and egg but a living being. As God is the giver of life, only God can say with specifics when that life begins.

    Obama's answer was meant to make you contemplate what was being asked and reason out the answer based on your faith, insight and life experience.

    Was that over your head?

    A guy that can't see his way to support protecting a baby that is born alive as a result of a failed abortion isn't someone I'd trust with anything I cared about, living or otherwise.

    It's one thing to say that the unborn have no rights. It's quite another to say that those born alive against the wishes of the mother still have no rights, and may be summarily exterminated, or callously allowed to die of neglect.

    Obama was saying that he is neither a theologian nor a scientist. At least his appearance at Saddleback wasn't riddled with lies like McCain's was. He was in a "cone of silence"? His wife and Mother Teresa--

    McCain's story about the cross in the dirt--

    How could anyone vote for such a blatant liar? If McCain will tell lies like this in a church, what will he lie about as president?

    It's what you say when you don't have a clue about what is going on.

    He's the perfect example of, If you could buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he "thinks'" he's worth, you would be rich.
