That's interesting, because in my personal opinion, she appeared to be angry, yet a little bit scared in her questioning. Sort of like, "I know I'm going to get clobbered later, but I'm so furious I'm doing it anyway." That's why there were no follow-up questions. Her heart was probably in her throat. I'm thrilled she did what she did, I just wish she had shown more bravery in doing it and slammed his ridiculous answers. None of his answers made any sense according to her questions and she should have called him on it.

Easy for me to say, right? :-) I'm terrible at interviewing people.

The liberals of this country are making an example out of this average “Joe.” If you disagree with Obama you will be crucified. What’s it called when a dissenting opinion ensures your demise? Isn’t there are name for it?

Barbara West better hire 24/7 protection. Barry's 'fight the smears truth squad' are not pleased. They just may "get in her face".

I'd also bet some government agency computers are already going overtime building a file on her. Then one dark night there's a knock on her door. Obama;s 'Civilian Security Force' is on the other side.

It is interesting because it shows how 2 people can look at the same event and come away with 2 completely different, VALID interpretations. That is why we are not dems I guess :-)

Either way, Joe was not a happy camper :-) :-)

"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden asked her.

The American people, Joe.

Ostracism.

I was just told that due to the expected legal costs of $50,000 to $100,000 that I should forget that those in power violated my constitutional rights. This is the second time I've been told this in the last 10 years.

Not surprisingly it was state-run schools that feel it's more important to suppress dissenters even if it means things like violating an individual's right to due process, privacy, and civil rights.

Why should Obama put up with real questions when he’s used to having his butt kissed by the MSM?

and when a civilian Plumber is solicited and asks a tough question that puts the Democratic candidate on the Defensive, suddenly his privacy is breached, his records are rummaged through in an attempt to embarass him publicly by campaign political operatives, strangely those champions of Privacy and Personal Rights are silent because your voice does not matter unless it supports one sided views.

Scary indeed. America is dying.

Think Barbara West is about to get a “Wurzelbacher” on her tax records.

I, along with numous other freepers sent a big kudos note to this fair and balance reporter. If or when she gets the pink slip, I’m sure she will appear on a truly fair and balanced outlet( after the court case of course)

Fox News has been reporting on this all morning asking if this is the type of treatment anyone asking tough questions can expect from an Obama administration.

This was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. It had contrast, comparisons, quotes and proposed plans. The rest of the Media is a bunch of wimps. They are so scared to ask tough questions and to do so might lead to the Obama Wrath that they won't.

After the media started asking these kind of "gotcha" questions to Palin and she reduced her exposure to them, the media howled. I'm not holding my breath, waiting for them to do the same over Biden.

Biden's "answers" were nothing more than further attacks on McCain, Bush, and the Republican Party. If McCain or Palin had done the same thing, this interview would replayed endlessly on every national news network.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Biden has thin skin. “Is that a joke?” ...meaning, “if this were a face to face interview, I’d slug you!”

The connection between the policies of the Bama/Biden ticket and the policies of Karl Marx are negligable, including the fact that nobody gets to ask probing questions. I guess the free press will be the first casualty of the election, not that it was exerting itself in any measurable way a priori. (This is starting to sound a bit like Venezuela).

Commies are control-freaks. Biden/Bama are control freaks.
Reaching across the aisle now means hammering anyone who dare oppose them or even insinuate such—across the aisle.

Bama said he’d bring us all together. Get ready for that big group hug, ya’all, but don’t expect to survive it without a fight.

I hear the reason Biden likes to do those remote interviews is to avoid having his interviewer detect the alcohol on his breath.

I am surprised Obama is moving so quickly against the media. I thought he would have at least waited until after his coronation. I thought making the media pay to cover his victory rally was particularly funny. Here the liberal press has spent a fortune getting him into office and he sticks it to them....too funny.

This is just the beginning. The “free” press goes first. You and the media haven’t seen anything yet. Everyone will be vetted...just like Joe the Plumber. If you are the enemy, you are eliminated. Pretty simple and straightforward..so stand by for more.
