Scott Brown’s daughter to Obama: Let’s go two on two in hoops — for Haiti
posted at 8:10 pm on February 16, 2010 by Allahpundit
It’s on. Maybe.
Brown aides tell POLITICO that the proposal is still in the “idea” stage and that a potential basketball charity game is still a concept that could be presented in a proposal. Aides say they haven’t formally approached the White House yet.
Skip ahead to 1:14 of the clip for Ayla Brown’s challenge. Ace thinks Obama’s too invested in his messianism to risk defeat on the court, but come on. It’d be good for his poll numbers, and these days he can use all the help in that regard that he can get. What’s the worst that can happen? Ayla skies over him and knocks him down on her way to a ferocious two-handed jam?
Actually, that would be rather inglorious for the savior of mankind, wouldn’t it? Nobody dunks on the true Chosen One, after all. Nobody dunks on Jesus.
Exit question: Wouldn’t Scotty B have more at stake in a game like this than The One? At the end of the day, Obama’s still president if he loses. But if Brown loses, he goes from grassroots darling to dirty, dirty RINO in a heartbeat. Ah well. Once he hits the trail for McCain, he’ll end up there anyway.

Obama only plays when he can steal footballs from little kids.

Basketball? Ugh.

i just read a Virginia 5th CD blog that said the Tea Party is ready to oust every single Republican in the local party that is not a Tea Party member.
errr, we’ve been raising money, covering precincts, going door-to-door, electing candidates for awhile now. I mean, we even know our elected officials. and they like us! we have influence!
never mind. we are ousted. so they tell us.
kelley in virginia on February 16, 2010 at 8:17 PM
I could whip Obama’s a$$ and I haven’t played competitively in years. Hell, sissy boy couldn’t beat Bawney Fwank.
txag92 on February 16, 2010 at 8:18 PM
Jesus would wash the Brown’s feet after the game.
Doubt Obama would do that.
ted c on February 16, 2010 at 8:19 PM
Guess you just can’t help it.
fourdeucer on February 16, 2010 at 8:20 PM
Obama: Are ya chicken?
Jeff2161 on February 16, 2010 at 8:21 PM
Hey Ayla, I’ll go 1 on 1 with you, IYKWIMAITYD.
misterpeasea on February 16, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Basketball charity game for Haiti?
That’s a win win.
Who, aside from say a moron like Olbermann, would put a political spine on a charity event?
DSchoen on February 16, 2010 at 8:23 PM
I’m pretty sure that the Bible says somewhere that if you posterize Jesus, you go to Hell.
misterpeasea on February 16, 2010 at 8:23 PM
Who would Obowma’s second be…
… The Harlem Globetrotters?
Seven Percent Solution on February 16, 2010 at 8:26 PM
If they did play, I’m sure the WH would control the media, and the only footage we would see is of Obama making three point plays.
ColumbusConservative on February 16, 2010 at 8:27 PM
This is the candya$$ president in mom jeans who had the cameras strategically placed at the opening baseball game so people couldn’t see where the ball landed? (It was short of home plate as I recall.)
He wouldn’t dare risk being beaten by a girl in sports. The world already knows he’s henpecked.
Wethal on February 16, 2010 at 8:27 PM
Well, at least Obambi may be somewhat qualified for this particular challenge.
RedbonePro on February 16, 2010 at 8:28 PM
This would be an excellent idea, it’s about optimism, Americans are all about optimism.
Dr Evil on February 16, 2010 at 8:28 PM
Noooo way! Ayla and Sarahcuda vs. The One and whatever!!
bitsy on February 16, 2010 at 8:28 PM
Who the hell care? You were elected to VOTE Mr. Brown, not play hoops.
Mojave Mark on February 16, 2010 at 8:29 PM
Present.
Ingenue on February 16, 2010 at 8:30 PM
What about bowling…
I hear Obowma is good at that.
Oh, wait!
Seven Percent Solution on February 16, 2010 at 8:31 PM
He keeps saying “bipartisan”….Well? Isn’t this “bipartisan”? And for a good cause?
GoldenEagle4444 on February 16, 2010 at 8:31 PM
and Obama was elected to lead. So???
CWforFreedom on February 16, 2010 at 8:31 PM
Made for C-Span. He won’t do it though, she has game, he has proven his game is bush league.
FireBlogger on February 16, 2010 at 8:31 PM
My niece would beat him in basketball.
CWforFreedom on February 16, 2010 at 8:32 PM
Wouldn’t the Secret Service have to take her down if she dunked on the One?
faraway on February 16, 2010 at 8:32 PM
I know…
… in the spirit of the Olympics, Figure Skating.
Seven Percent Solution on February 16, 2010 at 8:33 PM
What if Scotty gets hurt before game time and Sarah subs in?
faraway on February 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM
Wouldn’t the Secret Service have to take her down if she dunked on the One?
faraway on February 16, 2010 at 8:32 PM
He would pull a LeBron and have his thugs steal the video of it.
lavell12 on February 16, 2010 at 8:34 PM
So would it be BO and MO vs. the Browns? Hell, MO could just glare them into submission. But Ayla in basketball shorts, all hot and sweaty — one ticket, please. After all, it’s for a good cause.
GnuBreed on February 16, 2010 at 8:35 PM
I’ve always said I’d play 18 with Obama anywhere, anytime for the fate of ObamaCare.
This is almost as good.
russcote on February 16, 2010 at 8:35 PM
Of course being Dems the O’s would be spotted 10 points.
CWforFreedom on February 16, 2010 at 8:36 PM
Think Michelle “look at her arms” Obowma got game?
tru2tx on February 16, 2010 at 8:36 PM
Just take it to the hoop every time he bows, simple enough,
bluemarlin on February 16, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Scotty B. is startin’ to bother me a bit but I assume he’ll normalize after a while. Still just riding the crest, I guess.
a capella on February 16, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Lighten up. I’m not sure, but I think he can both play basketball with Obama AND vote.
misterpeasea on February 16, 2010 at 8:37 PM
Bad idea. Raaaaaaaaacist.
/s
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 16, 2010 at 8:38 PM
Since the real Jesus let himself get nailed to a cross, I doubt he’d lose any sleep over getting alley-ooped. The fake Jesus at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is a photo-op basketball player to start with, so getting dunked on should make him thankful that he’s at least on a court with someone marginally good. And, neither Brown will do any dunking. Now, if Scott Brown boots his daughter and recruits Candace Parker instead…
joejm65 on February 16, 2010 at 8:38 PM
Point redistribution?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 16, 2010 at 8:38 PM
And he’s doing it to raise money for the Haitians. Are you against helping the Haitians? Sounds a bit heartless to me.
misterpeasea on February 16, 2010 at 8:39 PM
Which blog?
changer1701 on February 16, 2010 at 8:39 PM
Maybe Rahm can don his tutu and grab a set of pompoms and do some cheering on the sideline.
ballerina candy ass.
ted c on February 16, 2010 at 8:44 PM
Gutsy. Good for her.
Philly on February 16, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Wrong. Rahm would be more like a WWE wrestling manager that bash one of the Browns in the knee when Teh Won would distract the adoring media by flashing his smile.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 16, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Don’t forget Obama can bring out a real space-eater to patrol the paint: His wife.
JammieWearingFool on February 16, 2010 at 8:47 PM
This has “Beer Summit” written all over it.
roscopico on February 16, 2010 at 8:49 PM
End up as a dirty dirty RINO? Heck we know that he is a RINO there is no way that a non-RINO could get elected in MA!
Kermit on February 16, 2010 at 8:49 PM
BOOM SHACKA-LACKA!
russcote on February 16, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Charity or not, there is no way they’d allow cameras during the game because actually having a real girl throwing next to a man who likely uses a lesser technique would be very, very bad press.
rogerb on February 16, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Barak, does this basketball court make my ass look big?
jukin on February 16, 2010 at 8:51 PM
In other gag worthy news, POTUS and FLOTUS are up for “cutest couple” at the Kids Choice Awards. I think I’m going to barf.
txag92 on February 16, 2010 at 8:51 PM
Televise this ish!!!
TheAudacityofNOPE on February 16, 2010 at 8:53 PM
I want to see Ayla vs. Michelle.
SouthernGent on February 16, 2010 at 8:53 PM
It’s just what has been drummed into their little heads for the las t13 months.
thomasaur on February 16, 2010 at 8:53 PM
The way Dems treat women, I’d love to see Ayla go one on one, and whoops that pansies arse. ;)
capejasmine on February 16, 2010 at 8:54 PM
Thas a Peace Prize!
GnuBreed on February 16, 2010 at 8:55 PM
No, sweetums, your a$$ makes the court look small.
farright on February 16, 2010 at 8:58 PM
I’d so PPV this to watch Obama wear his mom-jeans as warm up suit!
Branch Rickey on February 16, 2010 at 8:59 PM
Or puts Teh Won in a corner?
Branch Rickey on February 16, 2010 at 9:00 PM
When the Browns win, I’d love to see Ayla go all Shaq Daddy on them and say, “Obama, tell me how my @ss tastes!”
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on February 16, 2010 at 9:01 PM
Does Obama have to pick a girl for his team? If not, his RH guy is Reggie Love, former Duke bball and fb player. Love wasn’t a great bball player, but was on the ’01 Championship team. Bonus: duke haters could unite for a brown/brown victory. Biden said something in Brown’s swearing in about a female who played college bball? Don’t know if it was Div I.
Anyway, I don’t see it happening because Obama doesn’t have a sense of humor or humility. Even if he wins the game, there will be too many bad photo moments from the event.
conservative pilgrim on February 16, 2010 at 9:03 PM
Ha. Yeah, how would he have time to
go on vacationgive speeches before the superbowlpose for Essence magazine coversapprove advanced backdropscompletely misunderstand what filibusters aregive the Kids Choice Awards proper attention if he was busy with a charity basketball game? Make no mistake- he’s a busy man, folks.rogerb on February 16, 2010 at 9:05 PM
Kind of like Rodney Dangerfield bowing out in the golf match in Caddyshack.
BTW: Ayla has a serious Xena: Warrior Princess thing going on. She’d crush Obama.
BuckeyeSam on February 16, 2010 at 9:05 PM
Playground rules and Ayla will take him out!
huckleberryfriend on February 16, 2010 at 9:23 PM
Yunno, SP and Scotty B are welcome in sunny AZ anytime, but we know our man John. He’s reliable for 1/6 of a term every term, otherwise mostly frustrating in his ignorance of matters apart from national defense.
JD still needs to make his case. He’s an ego tripper as well.
exdeadhead on February 16, 2010 at 9:25 PM
This is news now? Pretty sure she has been saying this since, oh, the day after her dad was elected…
/guess AP’s not Facebook stalking Ayla Brown like some of us
das411 on February 16, 2010 at 9:26 PM
Basketball… ugggh.
But anyway, why give the Bamster this chance to stage a big show, with Scotts as props, to humanize himself. Cute, but not smart.
petefrt on February 16, 2010 at 9:32 PM
The Won inherited bad hoop skills.
Also,BUUUUSSHHH.
nyx on February 16, 2010 at 9:33 PM
Biden keeps score. Millions of points for the Cheetah.

How much air do you think Mechelle could manage?
caygeon on February 16, 2010 at 10:21 PM
C’mon, could she really hip check him (I don’t know b-ball sorry)or the equivalent and not be called disrespectful?
Do you really think she could go for the jugular in such a contest? Not with the whineyone!
Chewy the Lab on February 16, 2010 at 10:44 PM
Not-completely-OT: Why no Olympics threads, Hot Air??
Rosmerta on February 16, 2010 at 11:10 PM
There’s no way Obama will do this in public. He doesn’t want the brothers to see that he’s a punk in hoops. Especially to a white girl.Notice he doesn’t wear shorts when he’s playing BB.
Skinny legs and all.
Hummer53 on February 16, 2010 at 11:19 PM
Ayla should stick to singing.Why give the One any more publicity?
DDT on February 17, 2010 at 12:22 AM
It’s for charity?? I think Obama only gives to unionized and organized recipients with bosses with muscle who will make sure Obama gets his cut.
So Scott and Ayla should take their poor mouth pleas for money for poor people to Christians or Buddhists or some other unconnected group.
snaggletoothie on February 17, 2010 at 12:27 AM
No basketball! Charity baseball! And Obama has to pitch….
etaoinshrdlu on February 17, 2010 at 12:58 AM
That’s my feeling too.
I’d like to see Obama and Scott Brown in UFC cage. And not the standard three rounds but five rounds…
Conservative Samizdat on February 17, 2010 at 1:04 AM
2012… Palin v. Obama, half-court one-on-one, for the round office, the jets, and the briefcase from hell.

Zip it KID!
Quit promoting yourself, and let your daddy prove he’s got the gear to begin to undo the 40 years of liberal damage that Masschewsh!ts’ TedKennedy inflicted on the USA!

The after action report from Gibbs: “The President won second place on points, Ayla came in second-to-last.”
RD on February 17, 2010 at 6:08 AM
Obowma would be called for travelling….more than any first year president ever.
If the Browns win, would the IRS be called in to audit them?
dthorny on February 17, 2010 at 6:41 AM
I wonder if every time Obama missed a shot, it would be Bush’s fault.
ColumbusConservative on February 17, 2010 at 12:42 PM
The game would never go anywhere because Obama would constantly be whining about being fouled by his opponent.
