Palin: Betcha I Can Beat Obama — in a Race

Could she be any more ridiculous?

Yeah, I think we’re done, Sarah. Go away.

I think Palin wishes to get back to those $100,000.00 clothes shopping sprees and free plane rides.

“could these people be any more jealous of Sarah Palin?”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
What a ridiculous comment!
Obama is the PRESIDENT. Communicating with the American people is a GOOD thing. It’s not like he’s giving press conferences to pat himself on the back about what a great runner he is…he’s talking about issues that concern all of us.

It is so frightening to think that this woman has so much power. She’s so creepy!

ABC — Shame on you! You know exactly why you printed this story! It has nothing to do with politics or the Country’s current situation — it makes her an easier target — belittling on the blogs continues. No problem reporting about how good looking Pres Obama is, the Vegatable gardens, Michelles wardrobe, etc… If it’s about the Pres it’s always pure ecstasy! You can’t continue this forever, the gig is almost up!

OH MY GOD! AND TO THINK THIS WOMAN COULD HAVE BEEN SECOND IN COMMAND! SHE IS AN IDIOT WITH NO OFF SWITCH!!

Finally, she says something I can believe. Up till now I thought their was somebody pulling a string in her back like a “Chatty Cathy” doll. It is good to hear she is a real person.

Obama couldn’t run for a mile, he smokes in the white house every day

How dare an avid runner like Palin agree to an interview in “Runner’s World”? That’s so outrageous, I can see why the liberals hate her so much. Good thing ABC News is reporting on this travesty instead of Obama’s wonderful socialist agenda.

The real issue is the numb skulls who continue to support this woman. She’s a joke who is not even bright enough to realize she’s a joke–or is too narcissistic to admit it. That you actually believe she has any business in political office demonstrates what is wrong with this country. Smirking incompetence is a not a qualification for president. Didn’t 8 years of Bush teach you that?

Yes, that’s very true. Smirking incompetence is definitely not a qualification for president …. but generally experience as a governor is considered qualification. Politics aside, Palin’s history of involvement in her state and community is something we once admired in this country. Now, if da party boss says “hate her,” the followers do as they’re told.

Amazing…The critics – most of them like most Americans, overweight or obese – sitting in front of their laptops or desktops, probably eating a Big Mac or Whopper, while belching every thirty seconds, have the gall (like Andrea McClure) to jump all over a mother of five who is able to run a sub-four-hour marathon. And, the governor is probably correct, she cound out run Obama; after-all, the President is a smoker and smokers are not your usual long-distance runners. So, instead of the complaints, why don’t more Americans get up and attempt to run one-tenth of the distance Governor Palin runs. Maybe then, your physical appearance will equal Sarah Palin’s (she looks really good). By the way: I am an avid runner and a strong believer in physical fitness…Doing it at least 5 times a week.

What you people don’t hear about in the news is that Palin is running a state. She is doing many good things but the media only reports the stuff that makes her look simple.

Respectfully, would someone plese tell Sarah Palin, Mark Sanford, and Kate Gosselin to give no more media interviews for the remainder of the summer-at least.

Why? Some of us like reading about Sarah Palin. Why would we want her to stop giving interviews? If you don’t enjoy reading about Sarah’s favorite sport, don’t read about it, but it should have no impact on your life that others do want to read about it. Why would you want to deprive your fellow Americans of good, wholesome reading? Why would you want to deprive a magazine the chance to achieve record-breaking sales (which will happen with this magazine)?
It’s really disturbing that people have this mentality of I don’t want to read about Sarah Palin so no one else shall read about her either.

To Michael and whocares: You guys are right, she should ‘sit down and shut up.’ She should stay in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. Women shouldn’t be allowed to express an opinion or lead in government. That’s for men only.

I love Ms. Palin because she drives the liberals crazy – even more than Bush. Go girl!

My grandmother always said “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
Well, that would sure stop all mention of Palin.

I love Palin also, she’s always good for a laugh or more likely, a snicker.

I would becha that most of these people calling Sarah “a joke,” “an unfit mother,” “an idiot,” etc. have probably never run for public office in their lives and have no hope of achieving the kind of financial and political success Sarah Palin has achieved.
Their contribution to their communities doesn’t extend far beyond sitting at their computers thinking up witty insults to write.

How about after the race Palin challanges Obama to meet her behind the school for a fist fight. To think the GOP backed her to be VP, what were they thinking?

i rest my case…truely pathetic libs

Anyone with a brain is annoyed by her. She shames women everywhere.

Liberals are funny. They are absolutely petrified of this woman. They can’t imagine a real American ascending to higher office. Someone who won’t kiss the special interests behinds. I would much rather see a woman of good moral character in the White House than that lying sack that occupies it now. At least she would let Americans run their own lives rather than the man-child Obama forcing government down our throats. You people fear her. All you can do is make up stories about how dumb and backward she is. NEWS FLASH. Most Americans can relate more closely to her than the Chicago thug and his evil horde of tax evaders. Go ahead and belittle her and show us how much you are afraid the true America will wake up and vote you Socialists into oblivion. Have a nice day!

Why is it that she reminds me so much of that disastrous sweat jock Bush?

Way to go, Sarah – keep up the grit and determination! Pay no attention to the negative comments – they’re afraid you’ll be back “running” in the next Presidential campaign!

PALIN IS A WINNER – WHY ELSE IS THE LEFT SO AFRAID OF HER. THEIR HATE TOWARD PALIN IS COMPLETELY VOID OF SUBSTANCE AND LOGIC. IN REALITY, THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING WITH OBAMA, DONALD DUCK WOULD WIN IN A LANDSLIDE!!

She likes to run hot dusty roads? What a crock of crap. I am a runner and it is pretty difficult to breath when you have dust in your face and no runner likes to run in the heat. What kind of drivel is this? WHy in the world would a runner’s magazine have her???? I’m a runner and she is just not a person I am the least bit interested in listening to her drivel. O

Marilyn, not to worry; she doesn’t have any power.
Open-Mind, if you think Obama is a “socialist,” then you don’t really know what Socialism is. Do some serious research before you fall for the ignorant hysteria. But try closely examining European “soft socialism” before you dismiss the concept entirely.

“Someone who won’t kiss the special interests behinds.”
Good luck with that since Palin has a long list of ties to special interest groups and corrupt politicians, but you probably don’t really care about the truth based on your extremist views noted in the rest of your post.

OMG could you people please find someone else to target and slam?!! they lost the election MOVE ON ALREADY!!! talk about tired and old! is this the new low that you progressives will stoop to? she did an interview big deal! i wish she would stop doing interviews so you bottom feeders would have nothing to spew your hate over! for crying out loud get a job already!! oh yeah, thats right, your god wants you on unemployment!! lol pathetic!

Sure Governor Palin why don’t you and Obama race from Alaska to Russia. Just nobody tell her about the Bering Strait it’s best she just keeps running into it and sink with the rest of the Republican Party there.

LOL, thought Palin was an Airhead myself, but she is NO worse then the other idiots we have in DC. Funny how she gets the Liberals panties in a twist though. That tickles the hell out of me. I will agree with one of the previous posts. How do you liberals put up with Nancy “now that’s an airhead” Palosi?

did she say she ran before debate with biden..I think she ran that they and bummped her dam head..I guess it hit her so hard shes now challenging the president..this woman is nuts…she cant speak nor knows her history..lady keep out of magazines and stay in alaska…

Of all of the comments posted I can not believe that no one is concerned with Sarah Palin using the blue star as a backdrop for a photo shoot. Having the symbol of her son’s deployment and the American flag draped over what looks like a bar stool is disgraceful. To have these two things used as props in a photo shoot, for a running mag. no less, says more about her as a person and a mother than anything that comes out of her mouth. Shame on anyone that would use a blue star to further their personal goals.

Governor – you are the classiest lady I know. I will always cheer you on. Looking at the dweeb in the WH who won’t tell us anything but lies gets old after the first ten minutes. Please come back!

Obama runs every day, he runs from Iran, from N. Korea, and from the right. His nickname should be chicken little

seriously, this may be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard…….well gee Sarah, I guess I should be equally impressed when Obama crushes you in a game of One-on-One eh? Is this woman honestly that much of a fool?

Oh Sara, this is kind of ridiculous, don’t you think? After, both of you are in your 40s, and I think it’s time to just leave “things” the way the stand. You lost in that now famous election, and I don’t think President Obama has to accept your challenge — after all, he’s in the White House, and you are back in Alaska.
Besides, it’s not about running (physical feats), it’s about your knowledge, brain power, and ideas — it’s mental, not physical.
Besides, being the governor of a big state with not many people living in it leaves you a great deal of time to run and to go shoot some moose. Mr. Obama is in charge of over 300 million people, 50 states, some territories, four major branches of the military, a suit case that has buttons to launch missiles, a cabinet, several departments, and the affairs and relationships with other countries, friends and foes alike.
NO. I don’t think he has time for a race Governor Palin, with all due respect.
Moreover, I am a republican, and I am embarrassed by having to point out these facts.

Yes, she was the vice presidential nominee. The Republicans are still trying to recover. Thanks, Sarah, for popping up in the news again. Keep reminding everyone just how sad the Republican Party has become.

Shame on runners world were there no real running articles they could have done both Palin and Obama are politicans give me an article about runners who do not have the backup support these 2 do and manage to run.

ABC has their priorities bass ackwards. They focus on this foolishness and Michael Jackson and fail to give coverage to the house ramming through a 1300 page cap and trade bill with 300 pages of last minute ammendments that not one representative claims to have read. Don’t they want the American public to know how much closer we are to the largest tax increase in history in the way of increase prices for anything that relies on energy? The slugs that thought they were getting a freee ride from Obama are going to be hit the hardest. Wake up America and go to Fox News for some real and balanced reporting.

Palin gets attention because she’s viewed as a threat to Obama. Obama supporters are afraid because she a natural politician who has wide-spread appeal. Many now realize that Obama is no different from George W. Bush, who was simply a money machine with out any ideas, experience, or leadership skills.
Palin can count on the press to keep her in the news. She needs to respond to accusations and insults as they come out, and that is what she’s doing.

Jenn, surely, you don’t thnk Biden is a gem do you? Are they “hidin Biden” again………lol Don’t be jealous of Sarah………

Why doesn’t she ever go away? For someone that claims that she gets picked on unfairly, that people won’t leave her alone, she sure seems to look for every opportunity to be kept in the limelight. Why is she such a big hypocrite??????

WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

Well now that I’ve thrown up my breakfast. Is there anything this moronic woman won’t do to stay in the spotlight. She is just makin an ass of herself and the GOP, only her and them are too stupid to realize it.

Oh, I’m pretty sure she’d start out strong, but then trip and fall on her face around mile 2, allowing Obama to breeze on by. Then she’d blame the liberal dirt for tripping her.

Im not a Palin fan at all not as a politician, but if she wants to do an article about running, and let people know what kind of person she is then she shouldnt be ridiculed for it. Now if she says something about politics THEN she should be ridiculed

Us liberals keep picking on Palin, surely not because we fear her in the least, but it tends to elicit such anger from the republicans who still find her amusing, and think that she has any chance of ever being elected to a President or Vice Presidential role. The only fear us liberals have is the idea that we will have to look at her face for the next 8 years, her wanting to be something significant.

Ok the photography is great and maybe she can run faster than the President.
If they raced and she won, what does that prove? Who really cares?

this woman is awesome and has a job and keeps her husband happy.in the meantime you can beat up on her while your on the sideleines of BARAKS JOBLESS RECOVERY. CAP AND TRADE WILL MAKE YOU MORE JOBLESS.

This is a lady who understands the needs of family and country, if you feel that you can do any better, put your name out there.
Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air and this country could use some-one who has the guts to stand up for what the people want/need.

O.K. She’s a runner and did an interview for “Runner’s World”. Why does she include her DS child in the photo shoot. She continues to use this child as a political tool for her base. We know already, Sarah! You have a DS baby! You are not the first and won’t be the last. Stop using him as a prop!!!!

Jackie, I’m sure that that photo is more about the fancy jogging stroller than it is about the child. For women who jog with infants, all eyes will be on that stroller – it’s like the Cadillac of jogging strollers. I think the photo is designed to show off that stroller while illustrating that with the right stroller, even a grandmother with an infant of her own can still get out and enjoy a good run. It’s no more exploitation then when Obama puts his kids on ET for an interview.

Who gives a care whether this woman can keep her husband happy?

All these negative comments from socialibs are pathetic – but what can we expect when all they do is criticize or lie about their bloated reps? Welcome to Bumbledom.

Instead of all the negative comments on Palin, everyone should be encouraging the President to stop smoking, to actually eat some of the vegetables from the garden and take Palin up on her challenge.
from blackvoice website:
Racial disparities in men’s health exist across virtually all major chronic diseases. For example, in comparison to their white male counterparts, black men have a 40 percent higher incidence of type 2 diabetes and they are 20% more likely to die from heart disease. Black males ages 22-44 are 20 times more likely to develop kidney failure due to high blood pressure than are white males in the same age group. Black men also have the highest overall cancer incidence and mortality in the country and the highest rates of hypertension in the world.

Most of you moronic, catatonic,
Obama groupies miss the point! Duh!
The President continues to smoke
cigarettes which is bad for
his overall health and makes him
short of breath.
Governor Palin would surely beat
Obama in a foot race.
Since you people love the “messiah”
so much you should urge him to quit
smoking!
No one in his or her right mind wants
Dopey Joe Biden to be president.

geez.. ya know it’s not easy being cheezy.(wink wink)

Just to be honest, I can’t stand that stipid women. Please notify her.

All of a sudden some of you want to talk about nasty comments.Truth is nasty comments have been coming from some of you since NOV.4th so you can go ahead with the innocent hollier than thou bit.And I won’t even start with the comments about Mike Jackson.SOme of you have been far from Mary Poppins when it comes to those comments.

Lets call Sarah Palin what she really is. A right wing religious zealot who would like to see the country take about 10 steps backwards regarding civil rights and freedoms of all Americans. I actually attended a rally for a local newspaper, when she was in my state and the racists, hateful comments being yelled the whole time she was speaking and the comments in the lines of those waiting to see her were very frightening. She knew these comments were being said, and never denounced them. She actually had her sick little smirck on her face the whole time. It made me realize how dangerous this woman really was and how divisive she would be if elected. Hence the incredible turn out for Obama was as much for him as president as it was to assure that Palin didn’t even come close to Washington, DC except to visit. These are the facts, and luckily Americans caught on very quickly. The only people still supporting her at this time are the ones who believe as she does. Combinded they are the sickest faction of American society, and include the rise in hate groups.

I’m a runner. Have done many races. I cringe to think of being associated with this women in any way. She’s pretty foolish to think she can beat Obama at a race, however. He is much taller and in fantastic shape, as anyone who plays any basketball knows, you run constantly during basketball, and it’s alot of sprinting, jogging, then sprinting, and if you’re a ‘slow’ runner like she is, she’d not do very well against a runner who also runs, Obama also runs, but his basketball is akin to sprint workouts you do before a race to get your speed up. IF she has no speed, maybe she doesn’t do these, which is fine, but fact is, if she races someone who does, she’ll lose. Yet another reason of how uninformed she is, and how foolish and attention seeking she is. With all the criticism she has gotton for being such a hairbrain, you’d wonder when she will put any thought behind her words before she speaks. And you know runners world will leap at anything that bring them sales, so some silly 40 something women who ‘runs’ like a turtle will certainly cell, even though she’s spewing racing a man who is in much better condition. they dont care if she’s acting like a fool, so long as it gets them attention and lookie here, it did! foolish women.

Palin will talk to anybody now next month she will be at a county fair running of at the mouth “I bet a can beat Obama at a pie eating comp.”

If she is going to run for President she should at least know how to present the American flag properly and show a little more respect for it.

I guess the Oama supporters have to talk about someting since he is tanking the country. Can’t wait till mid term elections to start the sweep and then the next Presidential election to complete the process. Lots of hanger ons will have to get ajob.

YOU GUYS ARE SOOOO ENVIOUS OF SARA PALIN, ADMIT IT…EAT YOUR HEART OUT

“Whocares” has it exactly right – whats next – is she going to pick her Final Four brackets on a telivised ESPN segment – errr wait that might have been done already……..

Oh this is great. Can you imagine this story:
United States decides to elminate elections and choose thier President by having them actaully “Run” for office.
Hey Sarah you idiot. Do you realize the can of worms you are opening. It is obvious that you do not think. And it is obvious that you have never watched track and field events. Guess what nationality comes up winning most events. You are only helping the African Americans. I am not predjudice so neither color nor race matters.
John Mc Cain must be having a heart attack!
Now imagine the rest of the world laughing at what a stupid country we would be if that were so.
Sarah Polin….such an emabarrassment to this country.

“Wonderful socialist agenda?” Open-Mind, you’ve clearly been listening to way too much Republican rubbish. Obama has been working to simultaneously fix the financial system , end the recession, change health care, and restore public respect for the United States and the White House.
Meanwhile, the “party of no” has presented NO ideas for rescuing the economy, NO ideas for fixing health care, NO ideas for producing a sustainable energy policy, and NO ideas for extricating the United States from the foreign policy messes of the Bush years. This Wasilla wacko is completely unprepared to face those challenges, and I hope she uses her running shoes to go far, far away from the chambers of power. Her fifteen minutes are, mercifully, finished.

Palin is fine and she is not going anywhere. No she will never be President. But the media attack is non-stop on her. I watched Charles Gibson interview Hillary Clinton and I thought he was gonna kiss her. I mean he had a high school crush…Then he interviewed Palin and was so mean. Why? What has happened to the media?
Please Find those two interviews and you make the call.

Sister Sarah is doing this for the Republican Party and the criminal activity she has done over the years. Now the plan is for Uncle Ted to step in the Office and Sarah can work the flood for money from the wingnuts that follow her. The GOP will do what they want with Sarah and she loves being used. Now she can travel around the US on the Republican’s dime and even go overseas to give lap dances to powerful rich men.

Hey Gov Palin, who’s the PM of Canada? You know, your neighbor, your foreign policy experience?

So can you run anything except your mouth? If obama shoots hoops it’s just marvelous, if obama spends $24k of taxpayer money on one date it’s so sexy, if obama talks for hours and says nothing it’s gospel, if obama uses slick words so he can sneak in his hidden agenda it’s intelligent. Get over it and look at what your solcialist savior has and is doing to America. You desrve what you will be getting from pelosi-ried-obummer.

RUN SARAH! RUN!

I voted for Obama and think he’s about as socialist as Bush was a fascist – which means, only slightly. And if he offsets some of the worst of Bush/Cheney’s inclinations, well, that’s why I voted for him. But I don’t hate Bush and I certainly don’t hate Sarah Palin. Hate is a strong, ugly word. That it gets bandied around so freely speaks to the real coarsening of the American political discourse.

I can join as well – Unemployment 9.5%.

I think why people get offended or put off by her in this interview is that most people would help promote running, and joke a little humour about themselves to show humbleness. She has used it to promote herself and try to slag the President. If I read an article from her about running, then share your thoughts on running, not how great you are.

This is the silliest article on a “political figure” I have ever seen. How can anyone take this dimwitted self-promoter seriously at any level? Hope she keeps cashing in, because the novelty of this ridiculous public spectacle WILL wear off. Is this how sh’e going to be a “friend” and a “force” for the GOP? I’m embarassed FOR her. and I’m one of those evil socialists.

she wants to head the conservative uprising

A female Dan Quayle. Cash in your 15 minutes, ’cause you ain’t never goin’ to the White House except as a tourist.
No, liberals don’t “hate” her (too strong a word for a lightweight), they just think she’s a JOKE. And she keeps on provin’ it.

Palin is out of her mind! I am from Anchorage AK. Very HAPPY that she quit and hopefully is about to be old news. Judgeing by her resume; the republicans picked her b/c she a female…any body else would have been laughed at with all her dilemmas and family/past history. The damage is done here in AK now that her skeletons are out of the closet. What ever you do now Palin….good luck!

It is importatn that we all step back..instead of reacting..but step back…then pray for our leaders. Jeremiah 33:3 is the key to effective prayer..one day..each of us wil give an account before King Jesus. Have you asked HIM to be YOUR Lord, God and Savior? If so, that makes Sarah Palin your sister and Christ…pray for her! Don’t be guilty of sitting in the “seat of the scorful.” STOP and read again, Matthew 18:15-18…and remember that GOSSIP is one of the most “deadly sins of all (Proverbs 6)..so read Matthew 18:15-18 concerning “people problems” and remember Believers..”obedience is better than sacrifice.” Jesus Chist si son Coming..and IS King of all Kings…and EVERY knee will bow to Him! (Revelation 20:10-15) :)
