"Are you joking?"
"I don't know who's writing your questions."
Those were two of the angry responses by Joe Biden to a couple of tough questions posed by Barbara West on Orlando's WFTV (must-see video embedded right).
You can get an idea of just how upset Biden was by reading the title of of this account of the heated interview: "Obama campaign cuts off WFTV after interview with Joe Biden."
Here are the observations of what happened from the Orlando Sentinel blog of Hal Boedeker the TV Guy:
WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?
West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.
"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said.
West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.
Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.
"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.
McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."
Here's a link to the interview: http://www.wftv.com/video/17790025/index.html.

maybe that's why the press hasn't had much access to the Jr. Obamite. he's unstable. :-)
-
So the Obama/Biden campaign cn't handle Joe the Plumber or Jane the Reporter! But, they can handle the terrotists of the World and all our social ills?
Go figure! :whatever:

Sucks to be Biden.

Sucks to be Biden.
yeah, he has to bear the curse of the white man. There is no quarter given. He thinks he can hide behind Obama's race card. :-)

Jeeze, cutting off access to a broadcast station in a key state a week and a half before the election. Brilliant. Not that I mind, of course...
:rotf:

I couldn't be happier. Shows how snotty team Obama can be, and it diffuses the Couric interview.

What he said
-
I like the call letters of the station:
WTFTV-Channel 9's
Sounds like reporting we need to pay a bit more attention to.
-
Joe Biden just had to sink the Ones chances in a battleground state over something that anyone else would have delt with it and moved on. Not Joe, he had to stick that foot deeper into his pie hole. God must be watching over us. I mean Blowhard Joe is the gift that keeps on giving.

Thou Shalt Not Question The One.

I dropped a response on the Orlando blog earlier. Just asked the question about how we can trust on Obama/Biden to handle world leaders and terrorists when they run from reporters.

I've been saying that since The Big Zero was dodging interviews with Fox News back in February. They want softballs lobbed at them so they can disguise their socialist agenda. Questions like "Senator Obama, what is it like to be a gleaming man god?" and all that crap.

Check out the childishness here... :whatever:

One person copy and pasted hundreds of times this single line.
McCain chose Palin because he is sexually attracted to her - Kathleen Parker republican columnist
Then this...
Why do Republicans have orgasms at the site of American soldiers coming home in body bags? WHY?
Some more...
MCCAIN IS A SCUMBAG!
Some people really need to get laid. :whatever:

What Plugs doesn't reaize is that by not answering the question outright and instead going for bluster...then applying the old duck and weave we GOT the answer he didn't want to give.
Barakstar! blacklisting the station only confirms what they didn't want to answer.

ficksed.

When it all comes down, people see through this crap. I just hope ENOUGH people see this to realize how wrong Obama and Biden are for this country.
-
I just hope Sparky...that they don't find out too late.
-
God bless Barbara West. I hope this gets more traction....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Long the preceeding is about the fact that the more things GHANGE, the more they stay the SAME. OBAMA'S AN UPDATED lONG, AND BOTH ARE/WERE WORTHLESS.
-
Biden is a hothead who likes to throw people under the bus for gains. He's a political steamroller.

You might add "and more often than not, crushes the wrong target."

Go figure! :whatever:
That's my question too.
I read that it's been more than a month since the Big Zero had a press conference.
Why should these guys be insulated from tough questions, when Republicans are "poor sports" or "uncommunicative" if they don't respond to queries, to hard questions?
-
Six weeks to be exact. And he's not even having any kind of informal chats with the media on his plane.
And yet they still play CYA for him.
:whatever:

Not so cool in the hot seat are they?

I get the feeling that an Obama administration will be the most secretive and closed one in a long time. Press briefings will be just that, they will say what they want heard and will take no questions.

Naw it will return to the days of fawning love sick coverage that we had from 1993-2001.
Respectful...NEVER any challenge to what the administration does or says...and as always playing CYA for their socialist brethren.
-
you know, Palin is the only one who has had to take real questions. She did Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric knowing what she was in for, and I think she did pretty well despite the editing hack jobs and the weird questions.
Biden and Obama just cant handle real tough questions.

I expect it would be run a lot like the FDR administration - 'intellectuals' and trusted political insiders in a closed loop, to whom quite drastic measures will appear as "Necessary to meet the crisis" and a Congress willing to abet very extreme social engineering schemes. The Supreme Court will act as a small check on them for a time, until a conservative Justice retires (or is compelled to retire).
-
Why do I keep hearing Padma Amadala saying 'So this is how Democracy dies? To the sound of thunderous applause".
This is what we will get with the Big O in office.

You know, it's funny. Back when Palin was first chosen as McCain's running mate and before the VP debate, all the liberals, media, and moonbats were whining and complaining about how McCain was "hiding her from the press" to keep her from having to answer the tough questions.
Now, a month and a half later, Palin is all over the place giving interviews and having a jolly ol' time, and yet when Obama or Biden gets a tough question, they cancel interviews, blacklist stations from further interviews, attempt to smear and discredit the ones who dared to ask the questions, and complain about the questions being too "mean and ugly", and accuse the interviewer/questioner of being a right wing plant who gets their questions from McCain himself.

They are also threatening stations with licence revocations for airing anything they don't like.

Lessee, has a PLO operative close enough to have him babysit his children, no ripples in the pool from the drive bys. At this PLO propaganda agent was leaving the Chicago area Obama attended a going away/farewell party there was rampant anti semetic speeches and even anti-semetic "poetry", drive bys remain slient.
Obama wants to "soak the rich, who make $250K +....,no $200K,....no $150K..., no $100K or maybe $42K...as per his vote, and the drive bys say zilch. Rep. Barney Frank says they are going to spend spend spend into more defecit then tax tax tax while they cut cut cut the budget for DEFENCE by 25%, and the drive bys whistle in the dark.
Suddenly, not only Cali wants YOUR MONEY to pay for the governmental excesses , but so do NEW JERSEY and NEW YORK to pay for THEIR excesses, and the driveby's say nothing's happening here, move along move along.
I repeat my thoughts of asome time ago, as a nation, if we stupidly elect Obama, we've suffered a national nervous breakdown. But how do you get the nation on the "shrinks" couch?
