Above Your Pay Grade

By now you’ve likely heard Barack Obama’s answer to when a baby gets human rights. Such a question is apparently not worthy of thought or debate by the man who wants to hold the most powerful job in the world, because Mr. Obama considers it quiet simply “above [his] pay grade.”

Above your pay grade? What exactly is within your pay grade, Barry?

When you are seeking the most powerful job in the world at arguably the most important time… when that job gets to make judgment calls in private and nominate Supreme Court justices in public… when that person is supposed to be the leader of the free world and our people at home… nothing is above the pay grade. NOTHING.

Refusing to answer the question is just one more obstruction or obfuscation in a long line of the same from Mr. Obama. Pro-Life or Pro-Choice… you have to have an opinion. Barack Obama clearly does as any person who has thought about the issue does. Yet stating his belief would make his later statements trying to appease Right to Live voters intellectually dishonest. So instead of making a statement that will bite him, he makes the equally telling response that it is “above his pay grade.”

And right there you disqualified yourself from the Presidency, or as John McCain would say, you proved you are “not ready to lead.” As long as the executive branch enforces the law and as long as the office of the Presidency gets to nominate judges who have no later form of accountability or checks and balances… including the United States Supreme Court… then anything related to that is part of the President’s “pay grade”. Clearly Barack Obama is not ready for the raise.
