Obama offers Palin a game of hoops
7 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Democrat White House nominee Barack Obama on Sunday offered to go one-on-one with Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin -- but only on the basketball court.
Obama, 47, who blows off steam on the campaign trail with games of pickup hoops, however joked that he wouldn't take on the Alaska governor -- and experienced hunter -- with a gun.
"She looks like she's got some game, she played in high school," Obama said of Palin's basketball talents on ABC "This Week."
"You know, I know she's a sharpshooter, and I know that -- 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."

I believe I read that when he was cooling it Germany on the BB court, he shot five times making one, but the TV cameras showed the one he made three times suggesting he was good three for five. I don’t think Sarah would have a worry.
Who does this dufus think he is running against? (/sarc) She’d probably mop the court with him.
“Why is he running against Gov. Palin?”
I think the choice of Palin has Obama off topic.
Knowing Biden he wouldn’t challenge McCain to a weight lifting contest.
Biden’s game is beer-drinking.
Sorry I can't make the visit....my hip waders are being re-vulcanized after my previous visit.
> Why is he running against Gov. Palin?
Again, the masterstroke of the McCain camp is evident. It was clear that bringing out the meme “she is more qualified than Obama” has forced the RATs to fight back on that score. And after a few weeks of it, Americans will begin wondering, “why is Obama at the top of the ticket?”
Full court, play to 1,000, best of 19, no autopsy, no foul.
Don't they know what it looks like?
Apparently not.
Never seen you so concise.
Church wear you out today?
BTW, how’d that Harvest Festival go?
You must be either Otis or Carla. Which is it?
The Big O, who else?!
Aw c'mon, Barry, you'd make a great target!
LMAO I would pay big bucks for front row. Just so I could see the look on Obama’s face when “Sarahcuda” whoops the tar out of him.
Dedicated to all the lady FReepers and strong women around the world - I salute you!!

Thanks
Yep
Great
Exactly. He clearly had issues with women to start with, then just when he thought he’d shaken Hillary, a bigger, better, younger star emerges as the woman who’s gonna sink his campaign. His puffed up, fragile ego can’t take it and he can’t resist taking shots at her.
Wheels come off rat/dim presidential campaign in real time....
Smart ass.

The polls, MSNBC, The NY Times—at very least all of the hubcaps (for you oldsters!) are off, and the wheels are wobbling!
