1000% backpedal in that what she originally said at the church isn't what she tried to spin it into during the interview. It was most certainly not a paraphrase of any Lincoln speech. It was her expressing her conviction that soldiers in Iraq were on a "task that is from God", which is fine and her right to say, but what she did during the interview was to waffle from that faith based belief & try and homogenize it for the masses.
Politics is a "no win" business.... :wah

Boy, I'll say. A little off-topic but...
I went to a neighborhood meeting the other night held by our City Council rep and a couple of people from the Planning Department to inform us about a 4-acre plot that is being split into 8 1/2 acre chunks on which homes will be built. Council and the planning people cannot stop it even if they wanted to because the developers plans meet all zoning, natural features, erosion control, water and sewage, traffic, etc., ordinances. They just held the meeting as informational. Mind you, this is months after the Public Input sessions which were duly held and announced as they must be prior to any development.
The local radical anti-development folks were there in force and, among many other accusations, literally accused the city of intentionally letting the property be developed in order to kill children crossing the street. These people were really, really angry, threatening, and abusive. They called the council guy a liar regarding the traffic study, said they hoped someone got killed so the city would get sued. It was amazing.
I wouldn't take that job for anything, even a burst.
My brother in law is a city planner. He has had some moments when he was scared for his life. :wow
