Pastor Rick Warren’s Forum Unfair to Obama
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2008-08-17) — The Saddleback Civil Forum Saturday night, hosted by best-selling author Pastor Rick Warren, was “utterly and shamelessly biased” toward Republican presidential nominee John McCain, according to a spokesman for the ‘Obama for America’ campaign.

Sen. Barack Obama, one of the two front runners for the Democrat presidential nomination, often seemed to stumble through his answers to Pastor Warren’s questions, continually glancing down to his right, with his head cocked at a 45-degree angle for nearly the entire hour.

Sen. McCain, on the other hand, gave crisp answers, looked directly at the television audience most of the time, and delivered what many pundits acknowledged was his best performance to date.

Pastor Warren asked each candidate the same set of questions, including “At what point is a baby entitled to human rights.?”

Answering that question would be “above my pay grade,” said Sen. Obama, who reported $4.2 million in household income in 2007.

When he was asked the same question, Sen. McCain immediately said, “At the moment of conception.”

That interchange clearly demonstrates how the event was biased against Sen. Obama, according to his spokesman.

“Of course McCain looked good,” the anonymous Obama aide said. “He didn’t have to worry about how his answer would be perceived. He didn’t have to work to recall his talking points. He didn’t have to think, or even try to look like he was thinking. All he had to do was blurt out what he believed. Clearly, this gave him an unfair advantage, and we think the American people will see this for what it is…another Republican smear tactic.”

The ObamaMorons are claiming McCain thoroughly cleaned Obama’s clock because (wait for it) he cheated. Rick Warren, a personal friend of Obama, responds to the whiny nitwit.

And Victor Davis Hanson has an excellent analysis of Obama’s answers here.
