Obama considered joining military, regrets abortion answer By: Mike Allen September 7, 2008 09:11 AM EST
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) says his answer about abortion at the Saddleback Church forum was “probably” too flip.
During separate televised interviews last month, Pastor Rick Warren asked the two presidential candidates when a baby gets human rights. Obama replied that the question is “above my pay grade,” while Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won love from the right by saying quickly, “At the moment of conception.”
Now, Obama tells ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview taped for “This Week”: “What I intended to say is that, as a Christian, I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into … It's a pretty tough question. And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions.”

Yes, maybe he’s not lying. He never said whose military he considered joining.

oh jeez! He’s going to start pulling out that centuries old Augustine quote like Pelosi did!
Forget that Augustine never intended what they attribute to him.
That cartoon is surprising coming from Oliphant, who hated Reagan almost as much as he hates Bush.
He's following in Hillary's footsteps.
but ... but ... but ....
I thought it was "nuanced". I know it is. I was told so by some Big O foam drippers that it was and how his answer was soooooooo much better than McCain's answer.
I wonder what they'll be saying at rpg.net now??
He once “considered” voting for Reagan. I despise this... well he ain’t a man.

“I’m an atheist and the “When does Life begin?” question is pretty damn easy for me to answer: at conception.
I’d have to think harder about which flavor of cake I love the most.”
I’m a christian, but whenever I hear people say “you should keep religion out of politics!” - as if this is only a “religious” belief I show them this website..

Why, life begins when you receive your first copy of Das Kapital.
I wonder if he thinks as President he can get a second shot after delivering a flip answer to foreign leaders.
He’s still talking about the beating he received at Saddleback and now is back-pedaling to try and run right of center. Obama is forced to do press because he’s imploding.
No wonder DU has been on constant Palin meltdown.
“The pro-deathers should stop trying to make it a theological question to which they can throw up their arms in mock frustration, unable to answer the theological question.”
and in doing so it is the equivalent as saying to a hunter “go ahead - shoot at the rustling bush before you positively identify what it is”
This argument of theirs is basically saying “we don’t know! so let’s assume it’s not a person and kill it anyway..”
Seeing as the press has attacked Gov. Palin over her pregnancy, maybe we need a DNA test to determine if Obama's two little girls are really his.
puhleeeze say it was the Marine Corps....then I can vote for you.
Cause I "considered" it....... oh that's right, I did....bwahahahahahahahahaa..
f'ing turd.
He'd a been in Murtha's outfit.
Cause ya know that Hilary almost joined the Marines and Dan Rather was a Marine and John F'ing Kerry got 12 Purple Hearts for the Cambodian Christmas campaign.
Why don't they just sack up and say, screw it, I was afraid of joining up cause you might get killed......and I wanted to go to college to be a lawyer. I organized communities and shoveled money around like a good money launderer.
But it's always with the , "I coulda been really brave, if I'd just had a good war to fight in".... That's why they always say they are "fightin for you, the little people." or "fightin for legislation" or "fightin the special interests" or "fightin the good fight"...the only fightin they know is sitting on their a##es and yapping like little dogs.... cause they don't have clue one about kickin some real a## and what it takes to do that.

The best humor is true humor
Obama probably couldn’t pass the weight minimums for the military
That’s ok Obambi, the Bible answers them, clearly. Oh wait, you aren’t very familiar with it? of course not. We never thought you were.
A, No its not that tough and
B, its not the question you were asked, a-hole. You were asked when the baby should be seen as having human rights.
