Obama on Stephanopoulos backpeddles on "above my pay grade"



On ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on September 6, 2008, Barack Obama attempted to backpeddle on his now infamous "above my pay grade" response to Rick Warren's question, "At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?"

Obama attempted to shift Warren's clear "human rights" question into a "when does a baby get a soul" theological question, which it was not.

At any rate, Obama still feigned ignorance, which begged the next question: Then why so avidly support what may be the taking of souls?

And if Obama admitted in this interview abortion is a moral question, was he admitting he is amoral for not having an answer?
