Above his Pay Grade?


What happened to "the buck stops here"?  Boy, the presidency has fallen a long way.  What else is "above his pay grade"?

I hope this gets big coverage (doubtful), because this is an unacceptable answer to any question posed to a President or candidate.  "I don't know" is at least an honest, respectable answer (although it would seem to call the practice of abortion into question).  Obama's answer is neither honest nor respectable.  It is a poor attempt to dodge a difficult and politically dangerous question.
