I believe it is always important to read how a pro-Obama newspaper reports the Obamination last night.

The LA Times writers did lead off with Obama's statement that being president would be above his pay grade.

When Obama doesn't think he is qualified to be President, then why should anyone else.

When MSM says the Presidency is above Obama's pay grade, he is is deep doo-doo

Obama was telling everyone what he thought they wanted to hear. McCain was telling everyone exactly what he believes.

Any potential leader of the free world, that can order to send his own countrymen into deaths camp for our freedom sure better be able to accept the responsibility for innocent unborn children in his own country.

Obama, you are a loser liberal.

heh..here’s a thread just posted over at the DUmp..someone over there sees what’s happenin and maybe deserves a kewpie doll award..

from the post “I think America is waking up to the fact that Obama is a politician, too, and that when he’s removed from the teleprompter he becomes quite the stumbler. We should have stuck with Hillary.

Here’s hoping for a big Convention bounce.”

In his defense, that isn’t what he said.

There is an important rule I learned about succeeding in business which is if you want the higher pay grade, you perform at the higher pay grade even if your present salary is nowhere near that.

Obama’s answers are the same as when the most important Supreme Court decision was handed down. When Heller Vs. Washington D.C. was decided in our favor and the Second Amendment was ruled in favor of individual rights, obama the so-called Constitutional law professor claimed he didn’t know enough about the case to discuss it.

This guy is not performing as presidential material and doesn’t know how to be a president. He should not be anywhere near the presidency.

Obama, who spoke for the first hour, offered more nuanced and analytical answers

That means 'unlear' 'obfuscated' and 'sidestepped'. He was obviously avoiding any direct revelation of his views and values, offering emotional mush instead.

I knew Obama was so much more intelligent. He was just so much *sigh* more nuanced and analytical.

And McCain giving all those sharp pat answers. I just knew he was a know it all. He didn’t even “diverge” from his well worn stories about how he found God as a prisoner of war in Vietnam”. The show off.

/sarc off

Hey,you guys don’t understand the California mindset. Don’t you know only a Sith deals in absolutes?

George Lucas told me so. And hey dude, he should know.

You know when I read these articles, I always switch around the names in my mind to measure for bias. Somehow I just can’t imagine an MSM article writing, “Obama didn’t deviate from his well worn stories”.

What he was actually saying is that he is not God -that is the pay grade he was referring to. However it seems giving an honest straight forward answer is above his pay grade too.

You really need to take a reading comprehension course! The clown said making decisions for god was above his pay grade.

Obama, who spoke for the first hour, offered more nuanced and analytical answers on some of the issues important to conservative voters: abortion, same-sex marriage and stem-cell research.

Um, ah, um, um, um, ah, LOLOL.

OTOH, there are those who actually watched the event.

... the nearly 2,800 members of the evangelical church ...

Is this accurate? I thought that the event had tickets distributed and sold and that it would not be a safe assumption to state that all of those in attendance were members of the church.

It just so happens that I watched both of them. McCain clearly spoke with candor and this report is pure BS.

Barry Soetoro-Obama is an empty cord; John McCain is a melody.

Yes, it's a play on words (cord/chord).
