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.

WOW.
Thank you, Barbara West!
Replace Katie Colon w/her and DNCBS would lead the news. Great questions!!
Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops
She is good, I have never seen a democrat be asked so many tough questions.
Exactly. They have some time now that they've completed the anal exam of Joe the Plumber.
You'd think in their downtime they could pick an issue about Obama just to stay sharp, but the appear to have blinders on when they cast their gaze his way.
That barak thinks he is entitled to softball questions says more about him than it does about Barbara West.
Gee, barry, just imagine where you would be if you had to face real scrutiny like that from day one.
Glad someone, ANYONE, nailed these left-wing assholes with some hard-hitting questions!
I must have died and gone to heaven! Or been transported by aliens to another universe where there is an actual, honest-to-God objective news media!
Hat’s off to Barbara West for showing us what COULD be possible if journalists did their jobs. An incredible video!
Was she called a racist yet?
Yes, but too bad she never learned about the follow up in Journalism School. The middle class did rather well with the Bush Tax cuts. My wife and i have saved about $17,000 in federal taxes over the last four years. Four grand a year is hardly chump change. I have no idea how the GOP lets them get away with this nonsense. The tax rates dropped 2-3 % for the middle class with Bush’s cuts. And no on asks Biden what’s going to happen when the Dems let those cuts expire in 2010.
OUCH...she should have just kicked him in the balls...it probably would have hurt less. Great job Ms. West!
I laughed when biden cried out “I don’t know who’s writing your questions...”
As usual the Dem campaign filed a complaint. What would Obama/Biden do if they had been under the attack Sarah and her family have been under?
I've not heard Biden questioned about Hunter (?) Biden.
joe the biden would start weeping if you asked him such a thing.
Hasn’t paid ACORN???
What about the money for “staging and lighting”?

I don't know whether he was being conspiratorial or merely sexist, but he couldn't imagine that this woman was actually questioning the goodness of the holy one's message.
Chicks are supposed to dig this crap, in ol' Joe's mind. And chicks in the press are really supposed to be friendly and on their side!
Obviously some sinister men were filling her head with nonsense.
I’m officially in love with Barbara West.
Barbara West, kudos to you.
Should have asked about the Bush tax cuts ending, therefore increasing taxes on those making over $14k, but otherwise a perfect interview.
DANG, those were some tough questions she lobbed at Plugs!
WTG!!!
Greta talked about this tonight. The CNN reporter who was interviewing Gov. Palin apologized to Byron York and his paper but NOT to Gov. Palin. Greta said he should go on T.V. and make as big a deal about the apology as the question and do it 3-4 times.
Am I the only one holding my breath that this will happen???
