“Does Bambi ever say anything other than “Let me correct/clarify what I said last...”?”

He doesn’t have to, because ne NEVER says anything that is incorrect - ONLY things that YOU and I, as mere mortals, fail to interpret and/or understand properly.

Gee, I thought you were the Word. And you keep getting tangled up in them.

Yey, thou spakest and the meaning was dumb.

(And I was the Wrong and the Left-Behind.)”

Yeah Obama is a Christian and by the logic so is, the Ayatollah Khomeini, and Mohammed.

and Me? I’m the Pope of Chili Town.

I'd be interested in an explication here -- especially in dating the origin of this.

Do overs might be granted by the MSM, like George Stephanopolis gave BO on the “my Muslim faith” comment but in real life do overs are hard to come by.

I heard his “new” answer and it wasn’t any more clear. I have humility and know when life begins.

Barack is somehow trying to say that because his Christian faith gives him humility. Deciding when life begins would be...what?

Arrogance? Assertive? Egoism? Pretentious? Prideful? Self-importance?

As if he’s lacking those now.

“It’s like saying ‘The US Constitution goes all the way back to David Souter.’ “

You mean it DOESN’T???

Boy have I got a lot more research to do...

"I don't think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make..."

Hussein is very good at intentional mis-characterization. (I wonder if he had help with this one).

1) It is not "criminalizing" if the taxpayers refuse to pay for these murders -- or if children are required to consult with their parents -- or if anyone is asked to wait 24 hours.

2) We have long known that the left thinks the decision to kill an unborn child rests entirely with the mother entrusted with it in her womb. Daddy's are not to be consulted (thought they will pay for 18 years) in the liberal scheme of things, parents are not to be concluded if the mother is a minor.

This statement was carefully contrived -- and is cynical in the extreme.

Yeah, WHY

is it a “difficult decision”?

If the “fetus” isn’t alive, isn’t human, WHY should it be a difficult decision? Just cut it out like a wart. (I’ve heard lefties make this exact comparison, the evil bastards.)

If it IS alive, and IS human, then we have no “difficult decision” at all.

And if you “don’t know”, then you are immoral and evil to err on the side of killing it.

A hunter who fires at movement in the brush when he “doesn’t know” whether it’s his hunting buddy or a deer, is making an immoral and irresponsible decision.

Just once I'd like to hear a MSM talking head ask Obama to his face, "Isn't it true that the responsibilities of being President are just too far above your pay grade?"

It will never happen, but I can dream.

It’s about NOT LETTING BABIES BE BORN.

Having children and expecting the sperm donor to be a father has SO MANY IMPLICATIONS that all lead to a more conservative culture that

the left cannot allow this.

IMHO This was clearly a “pre-arranged” question which O wanted to be asked after hearing the flack that his previous responce produced.

And..of course little George was more than happy to comply.

I have a lot of humility about understanding when does the soul enter into...

He wants to base killing a baby on when HE thinks a soul enters it???? What if they don't have a soul until 5 or 10 years old, Mr OBama -- do we get to kill then?

Theologically, he just went from ignorant to ignoramus.
