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.

WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."

Jordan said political campaigns in general pick and choose the stations they like. And stations often pose softball questions during the satellite interviews.

"Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."

Jordan added, "I'm crying foul on this one."

What did you think of the interview?

AAAWWW, Did poor "Say it isn't so Joe" Biden have to answer questions that were in his wimpy mind to hard? If you can't handle the heat, the get the hell out of the kitchen. Or at least sew your mouth shut so you don't have to explain your stupid remarks or at least your candidates "spread the wealth" comment. What a wimp!

Is this how a Obama/Biden presidency will answer all tough questions? My God if they can't answer tough questions, how in the Hell are they going to run the United States or deal with terrorist? Oh thats right, Obama will have meetings with "no pre-conditions." We are completely screwed if they get in office.

Oh and by the way, the whole *****ing about Palin's wardrobe clearly is grasping at straws. How pathetic have they become to make something about here 150k wardrobe for the campaign. She's already stated that after the election everything bought for her will go to charity. She isn't keeping any of it. Can the other three say that? If you think about it, we "the tax payers" have bought all candidates clothes for them since we pay there salary. this is just another examply of the Liberals dirt digging and find something completely stupid.

Does Joe Biden have butt hair on his head?



From the left: Biden working a comb-over in the ‘80s; today’s funky-phony hairline; including baldy Biden’s backside.

Is Biden’s phony hairline a case of hair plugs gone wild? Or worse: Has Biden had a hair transplant from off of his butt? Or — GASP! — from a cadaver?

So what does Biden’s hair-plugs-for-politicians mean for America?

Since Biden is a phony with his funky-phony hairline, will he be a phony with the American people? Are we in for a reincarnated version of phony Bubba Bill Clinton with Biden also feigning “I feel your pain?” Is Biden phony baloney? It all depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

Is America really ready for a vice-president with hair plugs? Now when you see Biden on TV exchanging views with others watch closely, those people are not looking at Biden square in the eyes, but at Biden’s phony hairline. Just watch, you’ll see.

And who really gives a **** if a man has hair plugs? Grow up.

HarleyBabe,
Whoa! Calm down sweetie. While I agree with you, it's not worth getting excited. That comment is along the same line as the Palin wardrobe issue. I'm not exactly sure how my comment about Bidens refusal to answer tough questions turned into hair plugs.

Governor Palin herself made wardrobe an issue by pretending she's some kind of middle-class hockey mom from the "heartland" desert of Alaska where nothing grows. As any schoolteacher can tell you, Larry, a hockey mom is like a soccer mom -- it's too often all about their kids & the traveling team.

Palin further encouraged a look at her duplicity by mocking the Roman columns that served as a backdrop for Barack Obama's Democrat Party acceptance speech in Denver. Now she claims her wardrobe is just one of the "props" political parties typically pay for.

Mrs Palin's palling around w/ an awfully high-rent crowd to spend thousands of dollars a day in clothes. Her view of America as one big Saks Fifth Avenue obviously isn't shared by most of us.

The last time I checked, the Liberal media was responsible for making a big issue about the amount spent on her clothes. B.O.'s Roman columns was over the top. Personally I could care less what the candidates where. But had she worn the same clothes she wears back home, the Liberal media would have tore her apart for that to. Either way it's a stupid issue to try and degrade someone for.

The main subject for this thread is Bidens refusal to answer questions about his and B.O.'s previous recent comments. Like I said before, if he can't explain his comments, then admit it instead of running or trying to make the interviewer look stupid. He's the one who made the comment about B.O.'s first few months in office, not the reporter. The same goes for B.O.'s "Spread the wealth" comment. Either further explain it or admit that he shouldn't have said it. Running from the quesiton doesn't tell us anything except he can't handle straight to the point tough questions. Her question about Marxist should have leaned more torwards socialism because of the "spreading the wealth" comment.

Sarah Palin's Alaskan clothes symbolize how out-of-touch she is w/ the rest of what Alaskan separatists call the Lower 48. Hoosiers can see she's no heartlander out in the rhubarb patch. Nothing grows in Alaska; why would land-loving food-producers want to live there?

quote:

...Biden's refusal to answer questions about his and B.O.'s previous recent comments.

For over a year Joe Biden & Barack Obama have been answering questions from the press & the people. Governor Palin is the interloper who swooped in & sneers, "Who is Barack Obama" in an attempt to marginalize the Illinoisan on only one basis -- race. We all know who Barack Obama is, but unfortunately for Governor Palin it's become clear too quickly who she is -- a phony in designer clothes.

I agree with you. Palin's wardrobe and Joe's hair plugs are just too plain silly too debate. I like reading both opinions, but not over clothes and hair. LOL..Taking a valium as we speak LOL

JB, the problem here is that Obama and Biden have rarely been asked tough questions about their core beliefs. When asked they have obfuscated, or more often attacked the questioner. I have seen nothing but puff pieces on Obama's past. No one has discussed his opinions from early in his career, did he have opinions? No one has asked Biden to explain his various off-the-cuff remarks. No one has asked about his opinion that Irag should be partitioned. Contrast this with the heavy handed treatment of Palin.

It is most telling that in response to the original thread posting the topic here quickly moved from Obama and Biden to Palin.

When nobody will address and answer these questions we are left to wonder why.

Jethro evades your questions same way Biden evaded them.
Biden is going to have to answer or be bugged until he does...that is life lived in a glass house. He better get ready for tough questions.

If you would pay attention, the clothes were bought by the RNC and are owned by the RNC and will be donated by the RNC to charity after the election. The clothes aren't hers.

I found the Biden interview interesting, it is the same reason that they don't appear on Fox News that much.

They should have shopped at walmart.

Since the only way JB can answer my question is by changing the subject to Palin, maybe he and Biden are one in the same. Both can't handle straight forward to the point questions unlike the mainstream liberal media soft cushion kiss their ass questions. B.O. and Biden have never been asked the hard nosed questions. Mainly because ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN are so far up their butts, they can taste what they had for lunch. That's the same reason why you haven't heard much about Bidens refusal to answer the reporters questions down on FLA.

Larry, I found the following four questions asked by you:

1) Did poor "Say it isn't so Joe" Biden have to answer questions that were in his wimpy mind too hard?

Apparently not. Biden answered every question the lady reporter asked. BTW, "Say It Ain't So, Joe" refers to Joe Jackson, a Chicagoan like Obama accused of risky gambling like McCain.


2) Is this how a Obama/Biden presidency will answer all tough questions?

We may presume so.


3) My God if they can't answer tough questions, how in the Hell are they going to run the United States or deal with terrorist?

Biden did answer the reporter's questions, but they were hardly "tough." Asking how Barack Obama is "not a Marxist" was a joke. Beginning the first question w/ "Isn't your campaign ashamed..." was similarly hilarious in the "Have you stopped beating your wife" vein.


4) She's already stated that after the election everything bought for her will go to charity. She isn't keeping any of it. Can the other three say that?

Last I looked the "other three" haven't been boasting of being just like you & me while spending $150,000 on fancy NYC duds & dividing our country w/ talk of the Real America & the False America. Your candidate obviously, Larry, has nothing to run on except Palin's perkiness. That's why you inserted her into this thread from its very commencement.

The B&Obama train has never been asked the hard-nosed questions. That's the same reason why you haven't heard much about Biden's refusal to answer the reporter's questions down on FLA.

Larry evidently didn't listen to the interview, for Biden indeed answered the reporter's inane Qs. As for Barack Obama, he has answered tough questions about his very patriotism & love for this country by looking Americans square in the eye & telling it like it is. John McCain, on the other hand, averted his gaze & hid in shame when confronted by Obama onstage. If McCain can't stand up & speak his mind in front of Obama & the American people by looking us squarely in the eye, how can he be trusted to stand up to the Russians & his Communist friends in Red China?

It's your turn to answer questions, Larry, like the one just posed above. You gave me four to answer; to be fair, here are three more Qs for you:

Why hasn't McCain explained why he thinks the Viet Nam War somehow made America free? Does he think that losing the War to the Communists increased our freedom? Is that a policy McCain proposes to continue as President -- losing wars to our enemies overseas?
