Two things I'd love to see in an Obama/Palin debate.

The president telling her that he'll show his birth certificate as soon as she produces her high school diploma.

And the president saying "Cough ... white trash ... cough, pardon me."

1. Palin is a former governor who could not be bothered to finish her term in office...

If she should win the nomination in 2012, then Obama can debate her. Until then, she is nothing more than a minimally intelligent, poorly educated, under achieving, talking head. Obama should not waste his time. The President has more important things to do.

2. Honestly I don't think he should debate the republican nominee. Let them know that they don't

matter and his re-election campaign is with the American people. I was just pointing out a couple of things I would find funny in such a debate, if she were the nominee.

I have no reason to suspect there is any thought he would be debating anyone other than the republican nominee.

3. Debates are expected. It would be a major political mistake to refuse to debate the nominee.

It would be a terrible mistake for her to debate Obama. I don't think any amount of debate prep would be enough to put a shine on that turd.

4. Will she make it out the GOP debates? They aren't going to tread softly

like Obama and Biden were forced to by the media. Those rethugs are going to tear her a new one.
