    Obamessiah, like both Clintons, is a pathological liar. His main problem appears to be that he isn’t as good at it as Hill and Bill.

    Fortunately for him, the MSM is willing to cover him every time he lies.

    But, it raises a real compelling question. Why do Dems hate babies so much?

    That one is easy. Consider that Obama considers Trinity United a “church”. He was probably wondering “When will the blame whitey questions start? This is a church, after all!”

    OK, so he’s saying that he wants someone else who gets paid more to make the decision for him… He made up his mind back in 2001, but he can’t decide now? The higher paygrade made him stupid and/or removed his spine. Time for another midnight-call-to-Hillary skit.

    Personally, I think that is one of the most weird answers that he has ever given and that speaks volumes. The fact that he is supposedly the “candidate of the little guy” yet only wants the people to determine policy that make more than he does, seems somewhat strange and contradictory.

    Mr. Obama, how much does one need to make per year before they can possess the ability to determine between right and wrong? You know, since you made over a million dollars last year.

    Obama’s favorite Bible passage:

    Jesus: “Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.”

    Does Obama realize that this would indicate that he aborted Jesus?

    Flippity-flop-flop. Flippity-flop-flop.

    I am beginning to think that “flip-flop” is being too charitable to Hopenchange. The reality is worse.

    Being a “flip-flopper” implies indecision and irresolution: someone who can’t or won’t settle on what his position really is, possibly because he doesn’t even know it himself.

    If you dig deep enough into Hopenchange’s past statements and his voting record, then where he stands on abortion (and many other issues) is actually quite clear. That’s precisely why he so desperately wants to blur and hide the truth until he’s past the election.

    Then he can become “himself” again, for a while at least.

    Hopenchange is like the scorpion that, by promising not to sting it, persuades an otherwise doubtful frog to let it hitch a ride across a river on the frog’s back. When the scorpion does the predictable thing in midstream, his response to the frog’s surprised reaction is:

    “You knew what I was all along.”

    Or, to continue with insect comparisons, there is a particular species of spider that has adapted the use of its front pair of legs to mimic ants’ antennae. When it approaches an ant, it uses its front legs to do a little “recognition handshake” with the intended victim’s antennae, which fools the ant into lowering its guard.

    Then the spider strikes.

    You know what Hopenchange is. You’ve known it all along. He’s counting on getting you to fool yourselves that he’s something different.

    Will you?

    It is sickening to listen to these socialist morons crow about what he meant. They don’t believe in God anyway and believe science has proven that God doesn’t exist. But as soon as votes are stake, they proclaim His existence.

    The socialists will say anything, and say that what they said does or doesn’t mean what you think, as long as you vote for them.

    I do think this is what Obama meant. Obama thought he was being smart by giving an answer that 1. avoids answering the question (so as not to offend either side) & 2. includes a reference to God (hoping to woo some Christians).

    Of course, his answer was completely insincere. You don’t slaughter those that you aren’t sure if they are persons (unless you are a monster).

    The problem is, even if Obama doesn’t take the lives of little children seriously (you know, the “least of these”?), a lot of Americans do. His “brilliant answer” backfired big time.

    Of course he argues against life beginning at conception. To do otherwise would undercut his base’s philosophy and cost him votes. Abortion is a hefty alternative in the black community where the men hit and run.

    If Obama faced Jesus face to face I don’t think he would have the nerve to tell Jesus that he favors abortion and still maintains a relationship with the Living Lord. Somehow I don’t think Jesus would go along with all of Obama’s spinning on this issue. Truely I don’t think Obama could say a word if he was in the Lord’s presense.

    Didn’t I hear that THAT question was given to Obambi as a freebie before the actual ‘conversation’ with Warren? Not only did he have a look at it, he had time to mull it over. Problems is: he was trying to pretend he did not vote for everything abortion, including partial birth abortion.

    So he came out bumbling through, again.

    Above my pay grade?? I don’t get it. The question gets to the heart of the abortion question.

    Is it a human before it is born or not? If it isn’t, then abortion is ok. If it is……hmmm.

    Obama is pro abortion. He therefore must not believe that a fetus is a human until it is born or he would be guilty of assisting in the murder of innocent little babies.

    It is very telling that he would say the answer is above his pay grade but he has already decided that answer for hinself. Was he afraid that the “churchmembers” in the audience would find fault with his view so he didn’t say it?

    And his inference that Presidents don’t decide, only God can decide goes against his pro abortion beliefs also. God decided when he created the baby!

    I think Obama’s pay grade should be reduced for that idiotic statement of evasion. Can we abort after they reach age 47? Ridiculous.

    Me thinks Barry Hussein killed lots and lots of brain cells with his drug and alcohol abuse. He may well have killed off the portion of his brain where your conscience resides because he does not have one.

    Its very evident that his brain has some kind of problem when he has made use of “um” in histronic proportions. Its truly embarrassing to listen to this man.

    Every day for months now he appears to say and do stupid things. People are noticing it more and more, the polls reflect it.

    B. Hussein now knows his ONLY CHANCE is to choose THE HILDABEAST as his VP. The question is, will he choose her? I’m betting he does. It makes me almost want to see Barry, Michelle “My Belle”, and Hill and Bill win, in order to see/hear about the fighting/drama on a daily basis.
