“… whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”What a stupid answer for someone wanting to be the leader of the free world. I can see it now.
"Mr. President, the Russians have invaded Georgia."
"Sorry, that's above my pay grade."
"Terrorists have just flown a plane into the World Trade Center."
"Sorry, that's above my pay grade."
"A hurricane has wiped out New Orleans."
"Sorry, that's above my pay grade."
I hope he is kicking himself this morning for using that "cutesy" little talking point.
And, I have decided after listening to McCain last night, that I actually might put a McCain bumper sticker on the car (if Mr. D allows it, he hates bumper stickers) and possibly do some phone bank calling. (I HATE phone bank calling, but you gotta get people out to the polls, and they do offer free snacks.)

This election is going to be another painful voting episode. Has it always been this difficult? I HATE it when candidates refuse to answer questions like that. Just answer the question. Being evasive makes it seem like you have something to hide!

As a stay at home mom, sometimes I like to use that excuse, as well.
"Will you change that poopy diaper?"
"Sorry, that's above my pay grade."

A vote for anyone other than McCain will result in Obama being our next president. Sad - but true. Regardless of what anyone says, we have a two party system in reality. Rick found a really great sermon by John MacArthur. Go here and play The Dangers of Moralism http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/grace_to_you_weekend/archives.asp .

Hey Jennifer,
I didn't know you had a blog, but now I do!
I will have to check out that sermon.
Before Saturday night, I was viewing my McCain support as a vote against Obama. After Saddleback, I actually think I will view it as a vote for McCain.
In other words, I was going to vote for McCain, but not work to get him elected. Now, I actually might. Does that make any sense?
By the way, I was going through papers this weekend and found your latest birth announcement. Your baby is coming up on a year in a couple months! Wow, where does time go.
I think we all need that "Sorry, that's above my paygrade excuse:
So I made this bumper sticker for us all to use:
