That question "is above my paygrade" - Huh?

That's what the possible future leader of the free world said last weekend regarding a question asked of him about the fetus. ABOVE HIS PAYGRADE???? Everything is starting to add up to Obama the lightweight. He has questionable friends, he has had an undistinguished political career so far, his answers are long drawn out affairs where he never seems to answer the question right on...lots of hemming and hawing. This man so far from what I see is unfit to be President of our nation. Read below from Michael Graham at the Boston Herald.com.

Watching Obama with the Rev. Rick Warren this past weekend, answering questions—or, more accurately, not answering—about his most basic beliefs was simply embarrassing.

Obama supports partial-birth abortion and voted against the "Born Alive Infant Protection Act." When he got the invitation to an evangelical forum hosted by a pro-life pastor, he had to know that issues regarding life and the law were going to come up.

And his prepared answer to the most fundamental question about public policy and abortion ("is the fetus a human being?") is that it's "above my pay grade?"

There are certain sentences that should never appear on the lips of the Leader of the Free World. "That Vladimir Putin, what a great guy!" is one of them. "I did not have sex with that woman" is another.

But on the very top of the list of statements about our nation's laws that should never be spoken by a guy whose job it is to sit next to the Big Red Button is "That's above my pay grade."
With all due respect, Sen. Obama, being president is above your pay grade. And the voters are starting to figure that out.
