Should President Obama debate Sarah Palin?
After Team Obama attacks the Alaskan political star in a fundraising video, she challenges him to square off with her "anytime, anywhere"
posted on March 13, 2012, at 5:01 PM
"I'm more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama's 'enemy of the week,'" Sarah Palin wrote on Facebook, "if that includes the opportunity to debate him."

Sarah Palin, via her Facebook page, has challenged President Obama to a debate — "anytime, anywhere." That offer comes after the Obama campaign posted a fundraising video online accusing the former Republican vice presidential candidate of race-baiting by criticizing Obama's relationship with Harvard's first black law professor, Derrick Bell. (Watch the video below.) An Obama campaign official, asked about the video, said that highlighting "extreme statements from prominent Republicans" is a good way to motivate Obama's supporters. Palin said it just shows Obama wants to avoid discussing real issues, such as the economy and gas prices. Should Obama really get involved in a back-and-forth with Palin?

[TBF]

1. I can't imagine the president could even respond to this with a straight face. nt

[malaise]

6. Someone needs to look her in the eye and

say woman for the gazillionth time you are an idiot!!
This is going to end real bad one of these days.

[rustydog]

46. She wants attention. it is that simple.

[FarLeftFist]

48. Sarah Palin couldn't even out-debate Julianne Moore.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Bring it on, Sarah!!!

Let the topic be foreign policy.

Hell, any topic other than lipstick and he'll wipe the floor with your drool.

[malaise]

14. Do you remember election night 2008 when she wanted to

deliver her concession speech?

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Great scene in Game Change

LOL

[pokerfan]

30. loved Steve Schmidt's response

"Governor, this country has just elected the first African-American President in the history of its existence. And it is the concession speech that will legitimize his succession as Commander in Chief. It is a serious and solemn occasion and John McCain--and only John McCain--will be giving this sacred speech. This is how it has been done in every presidential election since the dawn of the Republic and you, Sarah Palin, will not change the importance of this proud American tradition!"

[malaise]

31. And she's still pissed

[pokerfan]

44. Can you imagine that speech?

At a time when a country should be taking its first steps in a post-election healing process, she would taken the podium and whipped the teabaggers into a frenzy prompting them to shout once again, "He's a terrorist!" and "Hang him!"

[malaise]

50. She whipped them up anyway

Dpn't forget the media enjoyed the circus

[MarianJack]

3. NO!

Engageing her legitimizes her.

Let the lower level surogates deal with her. President Obama needs to not even acknowledge she's alive, thereby sending the message that the former half term governor of the smallest population state in the Union is not worth his time.

PEACE!

[demtenjeep]

4. bwahaha

like he would waste his intellect or time with the "actor"


all she would do is memorize certain key attacks and then wink and preen

[malaise]

18. This campaign is going to get real ugly

Just wait for the racist attacks

[hifiguy]

57. You know, just KNOW that some Repuke is

going to drop the N-bomb before this is over.

[malaise]

62. That and worse

It will backfire

[REP]

5. I'd pay to see that

I know, it's like wanting to see her get Community Service with Beef Supreme, but I can't help myself..

[malaise]

8. Well you'll have to settle for a SNL version

The President won't waste his time.

[pinboy3niner]

7. Subject line is not exactly breaking news

And I'm afraid her hopes of being able to use the line, "Can I call you Hussein?" are going to be horribly crushed and refudiated.

[malaise]

11. LOL

I think I'll add the news

[southernyankeebelle]

9. she will wee wee down her leg if he says he would debate her. On the other hand like why would

he read her facebook. She nothing more then a person who is in revenge mode. Obama not responding to her makes her angry.

[Rosco T.]

10. You're just figuring this out????

[malaise]

26. No - she just reminded me that

it's worse than we thought.

[Puzzler]

12. No he should not. To debate Palin would ...

... give her the veneer of legitimacy (and relevance) that she craves.

[joeybee12]

13. White House Response: "The President only debates people who matter."

Well, that's what they should say.

[pinboy3niner]

22. White House Response: "Sarah WHO???"

"From Alaska, you say? Nope, still not ringin' a bell."

[TBF]

47. +1

[marlakay]

15. She feels free to say that knowing

He will never...do it! Makes her look tough to her people...

God, after game change it's a laugh...but she knows her dumb followers don't check anything.

[malaise]

21. You'd expect her to disappear after Game Change

but she refuses to go away

[spanone]

17. bwahahahahahaaa bwahahahahahaaa

[IMG][/IMG]

[malaise]

19. Love that smiley

[spanone]

58. hey malaise!!!

she makes bat shit look sane!!!!

[malaise]

60. LOL

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Auntie Bush]

20. This is the same woman that almost had a nervous breakdown

at the thoughts of debating Biden? By the way, she didn't really debate him...she answered her own prepared questions. She's just pure bat shit rhetoric!

[malaise]

23. Oh I rememebr when she told Gwen that she would not be using debate format

That was freaking hilarious

[yortsed snacilbuper]

24. sarah who?

[KharmaTrain]

25. One Step Better...

Since the great unhinged will surely be pissed when Millard is named the nominee, we should do all we can to encourage all disgruntled rushpublicans to write in Mooselini for President!!! Let's call it Caribou Chaos.

[malaise]

27. Well if Willard Rmoney has to head to the convention to settle this

have no fear, she will make a speech to remember in Game Change Version 2.0

[Junkdrawer]

28. Video simulation of the event....

[malaise]

32. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[pinboy3niner]

29. She's just dying for another chance to wear her "Johnny Choos"

[malaise]

33. Man this thread is hilarious

You folks are the best

[pinboy3niner]

35. Credit the OP author for the setup

Who was that masked woman, anyway?

[malaise]

36. Nah the responses are way better

[hughee99]

34. If she wants a debate, she should have run for the nomination. n/t

[unkachuck]

42. exactly, one has to win the puke nomination first before earning the privilege to debate our Prez.

[bluestate10]

37. It won't happen.

But if such a debate did take place, President Obama would wipe the floor with Palin.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

38. Fine

but she has to either win the GOP nomination or somehow manage to get qualified on the ballot as a third-party candidate for POTUS first!

[madokie]

39. That would be like Obama debating a fence post

It ain't gonna happen sister sarah word salad palin

[malaise]

53. Isn't that the truth

[BeyondGeography]

40. Now that she's got that whole N. Korea/S. Korea thing figured out

Watch out, world.

[A HERETIC I AM]

41. "and now a question for both of you"....

"Name as many supreme court decisions as you can that had the greatest Effect. On American life. Governor, you first"

(Palin) "oh! I've been studying' this one! Row the wade!"

(President Obama). " I can name 15. Would you like them chronologically, alphabetically, by who wrote the majority opinion or by who wrote the dissent?"

[HughBeaumont]

43. She couldn't even come close in a doctored debate with Joe Biden.

When is Grifterella going to go away?

Why is the media NOT being held accountable for her needless staying power?

[The Genealogist]

45. What this attention junkie wants is her fix.

She wants adulation, her name bandied about, cheering crowds and minions kissing her ass. She can bomb COMPLETELY (and she would) and it would be nothing but more attention for her, as she will play a whole deck of victim cards when Obama mops up the floor with her. I can just imagine the pissing and moaning now: Ohhh...the librul media made me look bad. Ohhhh...they asked me gotcha questions.

[Raine]

49. Oh geeeeesh! ROTFLMFAO

Winkie is TOTALLY delussional Obama will wipe the floor with that big head of hair of her's.

[malaise]

51. You Betcha

[lpbk2713]

52. Pailin should be Baker Acted.

For her own protection and for everyone else's.


The voices in her head are making her say and do weird things more than ever now.

[Blue_Tires]

54. Wrong, wrong, wrong...Palin does NOT want to debate Obama, and never did

What she is doing here is whoring for a little media attention which is her true skill...

[VenusRising]

55. She doesn't have enough hands.

Where would she write all her cheat notes?

[hifiguy]

56. Princess Dumbass of the Northwoods

needs to be fitted with a stylish wraparound jacket and given hourly Thorazine injections.

[Johonny]

59. maybe she should run for an office

then you know give the President a reason to think about her at all. She is nobody with no interesting opinions. She didn't even have the guts to run for her parties nomination. I don't expect the president to sit down and debate me or anyone else at the DU and hell must DUers are more informed than Palin.

[Fawke Em]

61. Hey! I'm a regular citizen who holds no office and has

Facebook followers!

Can I debate the president, too?

[pinboy3niner]

63. Depends...

Will your comprehensive foreign policy fit in a tweet?

[Fawke Em]

66. No, but it would confuse that Twit...

[hobbit709]

64. someone posted yesterday that Bo could outdebate her with 3 paws tied behind his back.

[ecstatic]

65. This time she'll have 30 memorized answers

[lpbk2713]

67. And just for backup ...

Not taking any chances.

[Ganja Ninja]

68. Obama to Palin: "Yeah sure Sarah but you'll have to get inline."

"There's a guy down the street from the White House wearing a rainbow wig and John 3:16 shirt that's ahead of you."

[CrispyQ]

69. I watched the video.

What a fucking idiot. Yeah, Sarah, Obama wants to go back to the days of slavery. Unfuckingbelievable!

I say again, what a fucking idiot.

What's scary is the number of people who listened to that thought it made sense.

[jwirr]

70. Write him a letter lady like the rest of us do. You are after all just a citizen just like the rest

of us.
