Obama on Palin: She’s better with guns
Politico ^ | 09/07/08 | Mike Allen

Posted on 09/07/2008 6:10:22 AM PDT by markedmannerf

Either one would be the shoot-off of the century.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is offering to go one-on-one with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the basketball court, but says he’ll leave the other kind of shooting – with an actual gun – to her.

In an interview taped for ABC’s “This Week,” host George Stephanopoulos read a question from a viewer in Union City, Pa.: "Would you go one-on-one with Sarah Palin?"

Encouraging Obama to play along, Stephanopoulos threw out her nickname as a high-school basketball player – Sarah Barracuda.

“You know, I would play her a game of horse,” Obama said. “She looks like she's got some game. She plays high — you know, I know she's a sharpshooter. …

“I probably wouldn't do target practice with her. I think she'd be a better shot than me. But on the basketball court, I think I'd stand up pretty well.”

“We would break all Nielsen records,” Stephanopoulos says with a smile.

“Oh, I'm sure that's true,” Obama replied. “There's no doubt.”

Sarah Barracuda would stomp the living crap out of Zer-O on the court. No Doubt.

Maybe as the back-board.

Hey,

This gives me an idea for a new debate format.

Make a shot, get 5 minutes to talk on national TV about anything you want.

Obama would be so rattled after Sarah’s first volley, he’d never get a chance to speak......

All that bumping. The Secret Service would have to intervene.

Obama doesn't like it when someone gets in his face.

I seriously doubt Obama has ever shot a ral gun in his life.

Star point guard vs benchwarmer, yeah that’d be a good matchup. Sarah would mop the floor with Obambi.

Another FReeper posted this a few days ago:(paraphrasing)

BREAKING NEWS: Alaska Gov and newly elected GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin has challenged Barack Obama to a one-on-one game of basketball.

Palin believes she will be victorious and it would be a rout, due to the fact that Obama has an extreme difficulty going to go his right.

Horse? Isn't that something like Around the World?

Yes. He was too much of a coward to take her on one-on-one.
