    @ Hutman

    You misunderstand ljwalker. She is not saying where was Obama rather than being at the Compassion Forum. He was there. Rather she is saying where was he on abortion. Having now read the transcript, I would say that that is a pretty good question. He did go 'round and 'bout it when he answered.

    In contrast, Clinton simply affirmed that it was an individual decision that should not involve government intrusion.

    In other words, at least in the context of this discussion, Clinton was more direct and unequivocal.
