Barbara West Interviews Joe Biden (Must See Video; Biden Shocked, Asked if Obama Plan is Marxism)
WFTV ^ | Thursday, October 23, 2008 | Kristinn

Florida TV reporter Barbara West asked hard hitting questions of Joe Biden in an interview broadcast yesterday.

Biden was shocked when asked if Obama's spread the wealth plan was Marxist.

The four minute interview was not the typical softball CNN-MSNBC-ABC-CBS-NYT-LAT-WAPO-AP questions.

The Orlando Sentinel reports the Obama campaign was furious at West and called her "unprofessional" and "combative".

Biden also specifically denied Obama's plan was to "spread the wealth," a direct contradiction of what Obama famously told Joe the Plumber.

“I don’t know who is writing your questions...”

Biden sounds a little paranoid.

I live a few miles from downtown Orlando, so I’ve listened to Barbara West on local news for years.

She is unfailingly professional and courteous.

Unlike the vast majority of tv reporters, you would never know her personal thoughts while watching her report the news.

Even while she asked these questions- listen and watch- she has no emotional investment, she betrays no subtle disgust with Biden or Obama, she doesn’t roll her eyes, change the inflection of her voice to communicate to us what we should think. She simply and directly asks questions.

TV reporters everywhere could take lessons from West.

Viewers would be the beneficiaries.

Sheesh! What would their Marxist do if confronted with an actual "combative" crisis in the world?

What a bunch of thumbsuckers!

She really nailed his balls to the wall with the Marxism question. The look on his face is classic! Bully for Barb!

"OMG! FINALLY!"

NO kidding! See how quickly these elitist know-it-alls come unglued when openly challenged? Do you have ANY IDEA how different this presidential race would look if the scumbag "media" had been HALF as tough in their questioning of Obama and Biden as they have been with McCain and Palin?

America would have been shown that these two clowns can't even function without a script, a bib and a Nanny. What the hell are they going to do when the heat is on in a real international crisis?

Thank you note sent:

Hello,
I just watched Barbara West’s interview with Joe Biden and I have to say, BRAVO!
Ms. West remained calm and unflappable, even when Biden insulted her by saying, “I don’t know who’s writing your questions!”, as if a “mere woman” wouldn’t have the ability to write her own questions.
It’s about time that a news person has asked tough questions of the Obama team, instead of lobbing loving softballs at them.
People deserve to know the truth and the media should do their job, which is, in my opinion, uncovering the truth.
So, kudos to Ms. West, job well done.
Thank you,

[Biden’s response “I don’t know who’s writing your questions.” was particularly illustrative of that old bastard’s mindset.]

He could have said, “These are not the questions that we prepared for you!!”

O.K. It has happened, I found someone I distrust and dislike more than Obama. This guy is like a manequin that smiles, laughs and lies much better than anyone I met in 13 years in the used car business.

Could Biden be any more of a liar?

I was thinking the same thing. Joe’s forehead is a wonder to behold.

He is looking very acrylic these days.
