I think that interview was a setup. She asked the questions everyone is dying to ask, but she did in such a way as to give Biden a whole lot of latitude in answering them and allowed him to spin his answers all the way around the block and she did only enough follow up to give it some semblance of legitimacy.

This...(sniff)
This is a...(sniff)
This is a thing of beauty.

I think I love Barbara West.
“Stand up Barbara! Let ‘em see you out there!”

I hope she has somebody start her car for her in the morning. She just made that idiot Biden look like the half-toasted tape recorder he is.

This is hilarious. Best part is when Biden gets a frightened look on his face and says “I don’t know who’s writing your questions.” He’s so accustomed to journalists adapting questions based on the DNC talking points memo that he is like a deer in the headlights. I thought he might start crying at the end. I don’t know who this Barbara West is, but she should be promoted to the National Network Anchor chair.

WOW! That was great! He couldn’t believe it when she came back again with more on the marxism/socialism/spreading the wealth around just before closing! Hallelujah!

Very telling Biden comment ..."I don't know who's writing your questions."

In other words, "You in-the-tank-for-Obama journalists know there are only ten softball questions you can ask The One and me. How dare you ask me real penetrating questions. The audacity."

If Plugs had to field the questions that Governor Palin has over the past five weeks he would be in complete melt-down.

What a pansy!

He was expecting the usual, “What’s it like to be around our Messiah?” and he got these. Perfect.

Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops

0bama will not be walking up to many plumbers in the last few weeks of the campaign . Shucks.

This is more like it!

It’s such a bummer that the media doesn’t ask tough questions of both sides just for the drama factor alone. Can you imagine news ratings if reporters spoke of half of what is reported on FR daily? OMG...I’d never leave the couch or stop popping popcorn!

Thank you for this incredible post. I cannot tell you how great it felt to see Barbara West ask the tough questions to Plugs that have not been asked by others in the MSM.

I sent an e-mail to the GM expressing my thanks to Ms. West, as well as kudos for the segment.

“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.

the Obama campaign was furious at West and called her "unprofessional" and "combative".

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!
