Roanoke Times: If Obama Says So, Kaine Is Cool With It…
By Shaun Kenney | Thursday, December 15th, 2011 | Politics, Virginia
So the Roanoke Times has a question for Tim Kaine about whether 17 year olds should get abortion pills. Kaine’s response?
We asked him about the Obama administration’s decision to maintain a policy requiring women younger than 17 to have a prescription to obtain the Plan B One-Step emergency contraceptive. Our editorial today criticized the president for ignoring advice from his own scientific advisers,who concluded that the morning-after pill could be used safely by younger teenagers. Kaine, a long-time friend of Obama, said he hasn’t read the rationale behind the administration’s decision. “I do not have an opinion that they were wrong,” he said.
So Kaine doesn’t know anything… but he knows he agrees with Obama about it?
Wow.
That’s leadership, fellas…

Shaun, think the paper got it right and you got it wrong, even based on the quote you had. The paper said it was a “no comment” answer. That isn’t an agreement. The way I interpret it, he said he hasn’t seen the rationale the administration used, so he isn’t going to say they are wrong. Maybe you would have been happier if he had said that he wasn’t going to agree that the administration was right, but the meaning is the same, no comment.
No comment is a lot different than “I do not have an opinion that they (Obama administration) were wrong” — about as different as night and day…
Kaine falling in lock step, even when he’s uninformed…
