If Barack Obama can only answer the question,<\/p>\n

with,<\/p>\n

“Answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then he is declaring at least two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. he does not have the ability, knowledge, or wherewithal to determine the answer, and<\/li>\n
  2. he is incapable of understanding any <\/strong>answer that he may eventually determine, or be educated on<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That he is incapable of determining any answer stems from the fact that the question Rick Warren posed was improperly qualified with a subjective “in your view” loophole. Such a loophole opened the door for a subjective, “I’m personally opposed to abortion…”, rhetoric. Yet, despite the loophole, Obama could do no better than give a non-answer, thereby displaying either supreme ignorance, or supreme deceit.<\/p>\n

    Mr. Obama, if you cannot determine, even within the vagueness of an “in your view” opinion<\/em> context, when a baby gets human rights, how can you justify supporting an abortion-friendly policy which could very well, and indeed does, violate the human rights of “babies” across this country? Wouldn’t the mere fact that you proclaim ignorance on the issue mandate that you take the safer stance of protecting the rights of the unborn?<\/p>\n

    Yes, Mr. Obama, the answer to that question is way above your pay grade, as is the office of President of the United States. You, sir, are either an ignorant fool, or a self-serving, platitude preaching, substance devoid politician, attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of many an American citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
