When asked "At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?" Obama said that the question is “above my pay grade”.

First, the entire issue of abortion involves determining when a baby becomes a person. If Obama thinks this is above his pay grade, then he probably shouldn’t be running for political office. If a baby is a person at conception, then abortion is murder. If Obama doesn’t believe that abortion is murder, then he can’t believe in the personhood, the humanity, of an embryo or fetus — not unless he’s some kind of monster.

As President — even as Senator — Obama is expected to have an answer for this.  Quite literally, there is no higher pay grade in the US government, and abortion is one of the issues he has to face.  If he can’t face it, then he should go back to community organization and leave politics for people who can.   John McCain had no trouble answering the same question. Obama dodged it — and for good reason: his answer would have exposed his radical views.

When does a human deserve human rights? Pastor Rick Warren asked the candidates at the Saddleback Church's presidential candidate forum Saturday night.

"At conception," John McCain replied, without hesitation.

Barack Obama's response was starkly different.  He hemmed and hawed and then muttered, "That answer's above my pay grade."  In other words, "Gee, that question's just toooo hard."
