I believe it was a reference to God, i.e., only God can decide or know when life begins.

Personally, I found the statement patronizing, considering the setting. The Senator appears to have no trouble deciding when life should end – at least for infants and about to be born babies.

Then, again, hypocrisy and condescension have long been his strong suits.

The Presidency IS above his pay grade.

The thing here is, this is not above Obama’s pay grade, nor that of anyone else. This is a decision in fact everyone ought to make. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even science. It’s philosophy. As many or dare I say most of a president’s decisions are rooted in. Questions of values, priorities, and purposes.

A more pointed question would have been, “At what point Senator Obama do you begin to value a human life?”

With this little “above my pay-grade” line, Barry announced that he defers to God on this one, and on pretty much every challenging, controversial question. I have one major problem with that approach. God is not available to serve as President of the United States.

It is curious that a leftist is allowed to avoid answering all tough questions by essentially saying that God is the one with the answers. Meanwhile, our sitting President of the United States, has the humility to indicate both that he believes God does have answers to some key questions and that, as president it is his duty to try to listen to those answers and put them into practice. Oddly enough, President Bush is excoriated for having the temerity to believe he hears from God. Never mind the fact that he has the humility to admit he makes mistakes and that he does not translate his own search for God’s guidance into a declaration that all that Bush does is God ordained.

Let’s see, in order to maintain his status as Chosen One the Obama cannot afford to say that God speaks to him. After all, we all know that that would show he was dangerously unhinged. So, if Barry says that only God can answer these key questions and he is, as is required by his leftist base, unwilling to listen to God to find out the answers, it seems to me he can offer us no guidance on any important questions. That does not sound like much of a president to me. In fact, it seems that the Chosen One is a far bigger fool and a far more dangerous man to have as POTUS than would be just about any alternative.

Essentially, what he has told us is that whenever America faces a difficult moral quandary he lacks an answer of his own, and he has no way to help us come to an answer together because that great shadowy mystery in the sky that might or might not be the Christian God is the only one who really knows and we all know that only evil right-wing dictators, I mean Republican Presidents, believe they can hear His voice. Hmmm….I am really looking forward to the firm and clear leadership we can expect from The One.

above Presidential pay grade. Way above.

I just don’t think there is ever such a thing as too much tuna pay. But, as it relates to Obama, I think when his mother wife gives him his lunch money every day, she’ sprobably giving him more responsibility than he has proven he can handle.

I.
Will.
Pwn.
You.
