The bouncing ball of Obama’s “Bunk” moment continues….

Yesterday, Hall of Fame Basketball Player Nancy Lieberman announced a challenge to Obama:  Bring it!

nancy_liebermanIn an Open Letter published at MORE, Lieberman has this to say to Obama:

Some women are saying you need a time-out. Your men-only basketball games have been scrutinized—and criticized for consistently leaving women out.

And so:

I would be honored to get on the court with you, Mr. President, not just to play but also to help you make change. It’s what I’ve done my whole life as a woman in sports and it’s what you’ve done your whole life as a politician and now as our Commander in Chief.

Well grab the remote and some popcorn. THIS could be some fun!

Read the entire MORE article here. And leave us a comment on what you think of a Lieberman/Obama one-on-one game of hoops.

    I am pleasantly reminded of when I was a kid and Billie Jean King flattened Bobby Riggs. I still remember all the fathers in the neighborhood going on and on about how he was going to win because of biology and whatnot … with the exception of my dad who just shook his head and smiled, and said, “She’s gonna kill him. He’s an old man, and she’s at the top of her game.” They thought my dad was crazy, right yp until King dumped Riggs’ baggy ass in straight sets. Heh.

    I get the sneaking suspicion that Nancy Lieberman’s personal recorords are being opened and reviewed at this very moment by Obama’s cronies. I hope there is nothing that Ms. Lieberman would like to keep private in her life, but you can be sure as Joe the plumber or the guy who ran against Obama for the US senate seat-(the original one, not Alan Keyes) that if you dare to challenge THE ONE, you will be on his hit list.
    Thankfully there are still some who are not afraid to challenge Obama. Good luck Nancy, and protect your knee caps, Obama plays dirty.

    Oh I would tune in to see this! And I agree Protect your knee caps Nancy and I don’t mean just on the court. Obama and his frat boy cronies can’t let this affront to their male supremacy stand.

    I’d be glad to send New Agenda a ‘bet’ donation if Nancy and Barack ever hit the hoops together to make CHANGE.

    But I’m not keeping my Hope up–at least in this presidency.

    “Periodically, Barack will feel down and (threatened by low polls) will launch attacks agaisnt women in sports to boost his appeal”!…..

    Go, Nancy, go!
