Republicans and now a challenging President Obama in a game of basketball – nothing else to do I guess. And the challenge is coming from someone who has experience playing basketball on a semi professional level.
“I am going to challenge you on spending. I am going to challenge you on economic growth,” said Clawson, a former Purdue University basketball player who won the GOP nomination for a vacant U.S. House seat in Florida.
“But first, I am going to challenge you on the basketball court. It’s time to man up and accept the 3-point challenge. My house or yours?”
We doubt Obama will take Clawson up on his offer, but the candidate is likely to make good on his vow to “challenge” the president on policy issues if not basketball prowess.
Clawson is now the heavy favorite to win the seat vacated by Republican Trey Radel, who resigned from Congress in January after pleading guilty to a charge of cocaine possession.
