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.”

Obama considered joining the military??? Whose?
That's WAY above his pay grade!!!
Oh pulllllleeeeeeze! STOP! Just be yourself, Obama! - Oh that’s right. . .you are!
This is an excellent example of how Obama would handle foreign policy. He’d say one something stupid, starting a war, and then follow up with what he meant to say.
That's an easy answer for me. Whichever flavor is in the pantry.
So, he made it sound like he didn’t join the military because there was no combat role for him to play. Suuure!!
He’s soooo patriotic and thinks military service is soooo noble that he had this to say in March:
“Senator Obama was trying to tamp down donor concerns over the impact of a drawn-out Democratic primary yesterday, but he ended up coining a new comparison for the increasingly bitter battle: the Bataan death march. “For those of you who are just weary of the primary, and feeling kind of ground down or that it’s like a Bataan death march, I just want everybody to know that the future is bright,” he told supporters at a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser in Midtown Manhattan yesterday.”
He compares the primary to something he cannot possibly comprehend!
“Obama considered joining military”
Yeah.
Suuuure he did.
I once considered taking over the Universe.
[what? you don’t believe me?]
;]
But but O....words mean something.
Do you really think we are that stupid?????
ping
It sounds like Obama is channeling Kerry.
Barry is such a shrinking violet, he should hold a fan to cover his face as he blushes.
LOL.
OUCH! Was that cartoon actually published?
Obama - He’s whatever you want him to be.
He appears to be saying that,given the chance, he would have enlisted to fight in the Viet Nam War.
Thats a keeper.
Wow.
