“…answering that question with specificity is, you know, above my pay grade..”

Sometimes, life tosses us a question that we have to answer... “above our pay grade”... or not. If we ignore it... we give darker forces time to formulate their own answer and ultimately... the final word.

The US President is the most powerful person on the planet. He even has the wherewithal to disintegrate the planet. Thus, any topic that affects the planet and its residents are NOT above his pay grade.

Obama, at a loss for a response with substance, tried to use a cutsie retort. That may be nice for an MSM evening news clip, but it falls short of demonstrating leadership capability.

Presidents have to answer tough questions. Presidents have to respond to unforeseen events. The President's pay is legislatively $400,000.00 per year. Those hard questions and events are his responsibility, even at that pay grade.

If he had any

ACCEPTIBLE

core values, he wouldn’t have any problems answering questions like these.

Here’s how it works:

Bounce question off your core beliefs and answer accordingly.

Here’s how a leftist works:

Bounce question off your core beliefes, determine if the public in general will consider that answer abhorrent, and avoid it if so.

Notice I’m not saying that he has no core beliefs, I’m saying his core beliefs would be considered abhorrent to the public.
