n a nearly 600-word missive posted to her Facebook page, ex-governor Sarah Palin challenged President Obama to a debate "anywhere, anytime" to discuss "the issues Americans are actually concerned about." These issues include, according to Palin: " a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse," "a credit downgrade," "a government takeover of the health care industry," and "an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes."
Palin was apparently irked by an Obama fundraising ad, shown above, in which she is shown railing against the president, sharing such sentiments as "Barack Obama has never been ... a man of valor." Palin says her comments were taken "out of context."
