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."

If she wins it embarasses Obama. If he wins he looks like a dork beating up on a girl.
It's worse. Eventually some advisor will try to bring their imam/emperor to this senses, and he will back out of this challenge. Which will leave him looking like a complete pansy.
Bowling first, then hoops. Then a detailed explanation of your activities with Bill Ayers.
Better still, how about the other way ‘round? Heh heh heh ...
Even better, Palin challenging him to a match on the rifle ranges.
Isn’t this really strange? We have Obama running against Palin. Shouldn’t Obama (a presidential candidate) be running against McCain (a presidential candidate)? Why is he picking on the Republican VP candidate and not his counterpart? He is so pathetic, he is going after a woman in a skirt with 5 kids. He can’t even fight on his own and, now, is crying like a baby for help from tramps to go against a REAL woman. This is getting better and better each day. LOL
How about a town-hall meeting....any time, anywhere, any place????
How "Presidential". (/sarcasm)
LOL! Obama, the MSM, and his whole campaign have “misunderestimated” Palin and consider her the weak link in the Republican chain. I hope this is part of the McCain strategy (’cause it is genius), but if it is just ignorance on their part, it is still great!
“...Why is he running against Gov. Palin?...”
Isn’t that interesting? We all need to point out his fear of Palin due her genuine experience vs his ‘community organizing’.
Here’s a better idea, Zero. How about a competition where you spend 5 years in a Vietnamese prison cell with all its accoutrement. Ready, set, go! (McCain already participated and his ‘score’ is unfathomably high, so keep that in mind.) P.S. No attempts at ascension allowed, even if you are “The New Messiah’.
Dummass took the bait.
Putin will chew him up and spit him out, not to mention what the Iranian thug would do.
When her selection was first announced, I jokingly suggested that Sarah should challenge him to a one-on-one BBall game to 21.
He can't be serious. He'll get punked.
Diaper changing speed trial?
That would be something to see indeed, he thinks he is a basketball player because he is black and tall? Was he a Harlem Globetrotter?
Sarah was a high school basketball team captain, AND they won the Alaska state basketball championship.
Again it all boils down to experience.
The only way Barry could beat her is to have octuplets and they all have two heads.
As long as it's with Obama and not Biden! Biden has been in the Senate a long time with Byrd and I'm sure he has had to do diaper duty on him for quite some time now.
