Here’s what I think about that question.
Obama knew there would be a question on abortion and had been told by his handlers to answer as if he were too humble to answer such a question as “When does life
begin”, because that is blurry and he is not God and blah blah blah.
But he was asked a LEGAL question about LEGAL rights and he just went with what he knew to say. And this from a Harvard Law Professor.
So I ask has anyone in this man’s career held him accountable or has he just skated by on being “international” all his life?
Also a good point.
I didn’t see it that way.
I saw a person being asked his personal beliefs as to “when does life begin”, and when he demurred with “above my paygrade”, he either.....
1 doesn’t know, or
2 is too afraid to answer
Assuming he meant #1, then he doesn’t know himself.
A person who doesn’t know himself is ill-qualified to lead others.
I do not think he was ever a Harvard Law Professor.
He went to Harvard Law School, but he “taught” at some law school in Illinois, I think.
I might be wrong on this.
Regardless, your point is well taken. A “Law Talking Guy” SHOULD be able to answer a legal question.
Your answer can be found in affirmative action, and the fact that if a black is running for elected office the hypenated black voter will invariably vote for color over substance.
That way they don't have to think.
JMHO
Please! This is the kind of inaccurate response that makes me scream. He was never a law professor and especially not at Harvard. If you can't get basic facts straight, you really should not be posting here. That's my opinion -- no one else's. I hate to see FR abused.
You’re correct. The POTUS is “charged” with protecting our human and American rights. He must have an opinion of where that line is. He was not asked a philosophical or theological question about life. He was asked about human rights. How could anyone trust this doofus?
