"Above my paygrade"
Huh?
Did they not prep this guy for that question? Surely they knew it was coming. I can see all the Obamaniacs sitting around doing the prep work, and Obama unveils the "above my paygrade" line and they all have a simultaneous orgasm. "That's gold, Jerry, gold." Well here's something that should be well within in your paygrade: maintaining control of your own nominating covention. This guy can't even take on the Clintons let alone Akmadigyouseemydog. He looks like a very, very little man.

It reminded me of a physician going before a peer review on malpractice at one of the hospitals. When asked about his mistakes, he responded with a trite response, "Well there was only one perfect healer ..." Thud.

It doesn't sound great, but I think when put in context it isn't outlandish. I wouldn't be surprised if he intended to follow up with "that is something only God knows," particularly given the audience he gave the quote to. |

Good thing that question wasn't asked of President Monson.
I think President Monson's answer would have been essentially the same as Obama's: "don't know." So don't criticize Obama too much, when the LDS policy displays the same ambiguity. Fair? |

Funny you mention that. I remember last night thinking, his answer would have been a ton better if he'd just said "I have no idea."

His answer was more like "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, limit unwanted pregnancies. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Roe vs. Wade. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, pro choice. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah etc. etc. etc." No teleprompter and Obama is lost.
