Barack Obama’s campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station.
During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV’s Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama’s comment to "Joe the Plumber” about spreading the wealth wasn’t being Marxist.
“Are you joking?,” Biden asked.
West replied, “No.”

Later in the interview West questioned Biden about his comments that if Obama wins the election next month, he would be tested early on as president and wanted to know if Biden was implying America was no longer the world’s leading power.
“I don’t know who’s writing your questions,” Biden asked her.
The Obama camp then killed a WFTV interview with Biden’s wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel blog.
“This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

Sounds like there is a lot of “tension” in Camp Obama between the Obamedia, Rimshot Joe and the “messiah.”
Well, we have a glimpse of how “tough” an Obambi admin would be on terrorism...
I don’t get this. Sarah Palin has been criticized for not doing enough interviews with the MSM and not going on “Meet the Press”. The implication is that she needs to be tough enough to deal with reporters if she’s really tough enough to be vice-president. So certainly Joe and Barack are tough enough to deal with the tough questions by reporters, if they are tough enough to deal with Ahmadineajead (sp?) if he tests them with nuclear tests or other threats. right?
Here’s back at ya, Obama. The station will change their call letters to WKMA.
Biden is so stupid. I just love the guy... no class, no brains, Nobama!!
Democrats can sure sling acres of horses*** around but they can’t take a molecule flung back at them without throwing a lying-on-the-floor-of-WalMart-pounding-fists-and-screaming temper tantrum.
Here’s a TV station in my former home town that isn’t in the tank for Obama. Even better, it’s a station affiliated with ABC, not FOX.

Wow, sounds like taking your toys home and pouting! Sarah Palin has more cajones than these guys.
Legitimate questions answered illegitimately (bob, weave, duck, spin, lie).
Hey Joe,
Welcome to the life of a Republican.
That is our reality all the time, you get one interview and you whine and cry?
Might as well run up the Islamic flag.
Offended by question about adminstration's comments.
President Obama Walks Out of, Cancels European Meeting
". . . further meetings with this administration are unlikely" said a White House communications staffer.
It's been stuck at 87,382 views for some 1/2 hour now .. wonder whats up with that?
...better make that 223,703 views...
It’s catching on...
The drive by media won’t have to get it out there...it’s already out there.
You mean you don’t agree with our lies and fantasies...........that ain’t fair.........well we won’t talk to you then any more
I thought many of her questions were loaded ambush type questions.
BUT, I also thought it was about time that the Dem ticket got a taste of this. I’m so sick of the softball questions that the Dems get and the gotcha questions that McCain/Palin get.
The most interesting part to me, moreso than any particular answer he gave, was the reaction of Biden. You could tell that he was expecting the usual softballs. He was completely blindsided and thrown off balance. He was in shock.
I thought the interviewer sounded angry and fed up. Just like me. I think she said what a lot of us are thinking.
I don’t think they were ambush questions. They are questions that should have been asked all along.
Nothing loaded about it.
That said ,Biden’s shock that He was being grilled by a non-friendly was PRICELESS!!!
The Democrats and Liberals are certainly the masters of demonizing. Well, now the shoe’s on the other foot. They don’t like the Marxist tag on their boy, even if it is the truth.
The more it’s talked about and discussed, the more it will open the eyes of those Democrats who actually love their country and never thought about Obama being a Marxist.
This needs constant play from now until the ballots are counted.
Obama can not be allowed to be POTUS.
