Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., got asked some rather interesting questions from Orlando TV reporter on Thursday.
You can watch it here Youtube link of Biden interview with Barbara West
The questions are:
* If Biden is "embarrassed about the blatant attempt to register phony voters by ACORN," since Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., worked with the organization in the past;
* If Obama's comment about wanting tax policies that "spread the wealth" is "a potentially crushing political blunder";
* "You may recognize this famous quote: 'from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.' That's from Karl Marx. How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?";
* Regarding Biden's comment that the world would test Obama and the Obama-Biden administration will need the support of Americans since it might not be immediately apparent Obama did the right thing -- "Are you forewarning Americans that nothing will be done and America's days as the world's leading power are over?"
* "What do you say to the people that are concerned that Barack Obama will want to turn America into a Socialist country like Sweden?"
Biden seems quite taken aback by the anchor's questions, at one point asking her, "Are you joking? Is this is a joke? Or is that a real question?"
The interview prompted the Obama-Biden campaign to cancel a subsequent interview with Jill Biden.
"The campaign cited 'an unprofessional interview' WFTV's Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden," reports the Orlando Sentinel. "In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was 'both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts.
... In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism.'"
Ain’t life grand?????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Of course Biden lies, he was caught at Syracuse Law School for plagiarism and was almost thrown out, he begged to stay and they allowed him to graduate 76th out of 85. Then he was caught red handed in the 1988 presidential primary for plagiarizing an entire Neil Kinnock speech, 2 strikes against this moral paragon. He lies about this 95% tax cut because it cannot be a tax cut if people do not pay taxes - it is a transfer payment, it is redistribution of wealth, it is Marxist, just like Bill Ayers and just like Barack Obama.
Biden completely lied about Obama and preconditions with Iran when it is as clear as day on youtube.
Obama is for socialism, even with Charlie Gibson, when pointing out to economics-dumb Barack that lowering capital gains tax rates actually brings in more revenue - Obama corrected him and said this is about “fairness”, not more revenue dollars. Obama is looking in your pocket, looking at your wealth and then imposing a moral judgment upon you, saying “its time to share the wealth”. This is unamerican, and closer to socialism than any other major candidate in the history of the country. He is taking peoples’ hard earned money and giving it to those who don’t work so hard in the name of his leftist defined “fairness”.
My beef with the interviewer is that she did not close in and prevent this weasel from lying out of the questions.
McCain as well as Biden voted for the Iraq War, but Biden voted against the first Gulf War and has tried to live that bad decision down ever since. Biden was against the surge which prevented catastrophic failure in Iraq, and then denies that it succeeded.
He fought Reagan on every anti-ballistic missile initiative swearing that we could not get there.
Biden tried to separate Iraq into 3 countries and was rejected by everyone in the world. He even put a website up describing his cockamamie idea that was rushed down when Obama named this blockhead to the ticket. Biden has always been wrong, always.
Biden finally gets asked some excellent hardball questions and gets so upset he calls the interviewer names and cancels further interviews - I wonder what he'd do in real life if he came up against circumstances he didn't like while in office - be hard to pick up his marbles and go home then.......
Biden said it’s not spreading the wealth.
Yet, Obama said he wants to spread the wealth.
They must think we’re all morons.
I truly hope that woman doesn’t receive any hassle from this. She did her job -better than any OTHER enemedia reporter has in the past while interviewing these jackasses and their ilk.
After all, i their universe they are really wonderful people and really smart, certainly smarter than you or I are.They don't understand human nature, so they don't understand themselves. They don't see that whaqt they are doing and thinking leads to the Gulag.
You are absolutely right. A bunch of them need to grow a pair, and big ones too! This just proves that Joe is not ready for prime time. But Sarah is more than ready to serve the next President and this great nation. I’ve already voted “early” here, so as you have said “ I will ignore the polls and the trolls and vote, no matter what.” NOBAMA 08
I've been thinking about this all day, too. Obama is not Bill Clinton. Should he win, the media is not necessary, or even advised, in order to set his agenda in motion. The less media the better. I foresee long periods with no press conferences.
Well done!!
Good grief, Joe, grow a pair.
So we’re clear — this is how it will work with Iran. If those guys question Obama proposals, we’ll stop speaking to them!
If Palin contradicted McCain on such a high profile issue the liberal MSM would lead with the sound byte for 3 days.
I hear an Obama campaign insider has said Joe has gone ROGUE! There are stories of a lot of animosity and disagreements between Joe’s people and Obama’s. The knives are out! / sarc >
Egg-zackaly !
In the interview, Biden actually did pretty well. He did respond to the questions after all. The interviewer did well, too. She didn't press him or make comments on his answers. She just asked them. It's the post interview response that's disturbing.
Biden and O have been coddled by the press for too long. We’re in serious trouble if these two screwballs are elected. Skip the inauguration and bring on the coronation! Hopefully, this will not come to pass, people will do the right thing and elect an experienced, capable man named John McCain instead of your typically dirty Chicago politician.
Way to go!
Well, once we drag McCain over the finish line we will then have to turn our attention to rooting-out rino’s and electing men, and women, of substance, character and strength.
This news anchor has huevos grande, for a woman, that is! :)
Republican women are hot! Woohoo! Makes me proud. She was like steel in this interview! Here’s a anchorwoman with gravitas AND cajones — are you paying attention FNC?
