Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama shrugged off a slew of attacks from the Republican convention, saying he's been called worse on the basketball court.
"They've spent the entire two nights attacking me or extolling John McCain's biography, which is fine," said Obama, who faces Republican John McCain in the November election.
"They can use their convention time any way they want, but you can't expect that I'd be surprised by attacks from Republicans," Obama said.
The U.S. senator from Illinois has taken some sharp barbs from Republicans, who nominated Ariz. Sen. John McCain as their presidential candidate at their convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, this week.In her speech on Wednesday, the Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, mocked Obama's education, career choices, legislative record, policy proposals, speaking skills and ability to attract large crowds.
