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."
Palin, 44, earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her fiery performances on her high school basketball team. She styles herself as a "hockey mom" and also says she enjoys moose hunting in her native state.

Is he going to offer her a bucket of fried chicken and some water melon too? Come on, how far can we allow this race card to be played?
-
wow what race card ? Palin and obama both played basketball in their younger years. Obama was referring to palin's and his basketball skills. where is the race card. dude stop hating for hating sake i.

LOL. I don't think Obama was playing the race card by joking about taking on Palin in basketball... but he certainly is playing the race card with his entire campaign - he wants people to relate to the black guy who shoots hoops on the b ball court when he needs a break. What a joke.

@ intelligenceisacurse : a curse that you apparently don't have. How about bringing up some real conversation about how he's not playing the race card, if you disagree?

Maybe he just likes basketball.
And he learned Palin does too. -
Right. Because Obama just wants to be friends with Palin. Let's not be naive and pretend he doesn't have motives for everything he says and does. That's one thing Obama does very well.

There are a few people here attempting to be funny, and it's really not. Get a reality check, if at all possible. Though, perhaps your so far deep in your delusions, defense mechanisms, and ignorance, that you fail to see how idiotic you sound when you try euphemisms and colloquialism like AIR-BAMA or B. Hussein (as Ann Coulter has been quoted as saying). It's scary that more often than not people like you who make these "innocent" jokes are really the most closeted-racists, at any degree, out there. And more often than not in denial. Complex people indeed (denial of being in denial), however simple to derail. Perhaps its a joke that I'm completely missing, but I'm coming from the context of knowing people, personally, who are obviously racist and would rather vote for a man who can snap any minute and lead American Troops to Death than elect an AFRICAN (NOT BLACK, dislike the word BLACK) American President who threatens the WHITE HETERO-MALE EGOTIST MONOLITH because of his belief of including everyone with a genuine interest in making America a better place to be in his plan for Washington; which is what Democracy eventually comes to denote. I don't know...I'm venting, yes, but with probably cause. :)
