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?

(10,237 posts)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!

(4,723 posts)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.

(20,917 posts)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.
