It could be a big plus for Obama if he wins the debate.
What's the problem?
He can't hide out on the golf course all year long. Lets go.
Whatever happens just happens.
While he's at it, he should debate Kim Kardashian, Snooki, and heck, why not Ryan Seacrest.
Ya know, cuz it's always a good use of the President's time to debate politically irrelevant celebrities.
I'm sorry, but the idea that she somehow deserves the stage to debate him is just silly.

A simple question to end this thread: has ANY president ever debated a celebrity, in the history of the office?

Frankly, id rather have him playing golf than debating politically irrelevant celebrities.
That said, your attempt at reductio ad absurdum is less than convincing.

Why do you want to end this thread? A funny thing for someone who has posted a lot on a thread to say.
sorry, was it over your head?

Do you think you sound more important when you throw around terms like that?

Reagan was a Hollywood celebrity before he got into politics. Palin was a celebrity after she became a governor and was selected as a running mate. Was Reagan a celebrity when he debated Carter? Or does it only count when they are currently enjoying celebrity status? May I remind you that Reagan won re-election by a landslide as well?
only when pointing out a person going off topic to deflect from a direct question.

And you were on topic with your last remark? Are you the off-topic police now?

So the only example you have is a presidential candidate who started out in movies?
In other words, no.
There's a reason for that. Its because its not worth their time.

So a presidential candidate is a celebrity?
Your tactics are truly old and tired.
Did you really mean to say this as a slur against Palin? She's a journalist at least, that which you are most decidedly NOT!
Bwahahaha you Sarah Palin haters are hilarious. Perhaps you are not American, because your grammar is too mixed up.
