WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama acknowledged Sunday that he was probably too flip when he said it was "above my pay grade" to answer a question about when is a baby entitled to human rights.
Obama gave his answer last month at a nationally televised religious forum sponsored by minister Rick Warren at his megachurch in Orange County, Calif.
Asked on Sunday whether the "above my pay grade" answer was too flip, Obama said: "Probably. ...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.

The more this guy opens his mouth the more he proves that he is not ready for prime time.
I dunno Obama - I think that’s a really smart answer and you ought to welcome more one liners from that staffer on your campaign.
I wonder how he would have reacted to 09-11-01. I imagine he’d probably be “flip” and then say he was “too flip” in an interview a month later.
Does someone have the youtube for Obama’s above my pay grade at Saddleback and the youtube from today’s new Obama answer??
I swear that Obama has attention deficiency. Sure would like to know if he was ever on meds or is on meds.
if you have a lot of humility then why don’t you err on the side of life???????????
If he was 'flip,' it shows that he is also a moron, going on stage at an evangelical church not having given serious thought to the subject of when life begins.
He was flip about doing coke, too.
Re: the abortion issue (COPYING and circulation is encouraged)
Well, that should clear that up.
From flip to flip flop.
He’s quite the ideological acrobat.
He was for abortion before he was against it.
Just like he said he wasn’t experienced enough to run for President , then a month later started his run ... What a freaking joke , Just his flops and flips are enough to loose . That’s not including his personal friends mentors and .........
You either support Roe v Wade and abortion on demand, or you don’t.
Obama supports abortion as a Constitutional right.
Like other liberals who hold such a position, Obama is an abortionist scumbag.
“Flip = flippant = dashing off a reply without any thought, resulting in a shallow treatment of a serious topic.
If he was ‘flip,’ it shows that he is also a moron, going on stage at an evangelical church not having given serious thought to the subject of when life begins.”
You make a good point there. I would like to suggest to him that there would not be a chance of a ‘do over’ in one of his ‘no pre-condition style’ talks with a hostile power. We have have a good handle on how they would treat a flippant reply.
exactly.
