    Well, I want to give them credit for doing the interview they did in the first place! Yes, they need to be lambasted for caving afterwards however.

    The key, again with the ObamaBinBiden clowns, is the careful selection of terms and the building of the sentence structure of their responses (or speeches for that matter).

    He was asked about the $150,000 funneled to his Son’s law firm and Biden could NOT deny the money was given he has to DISTORT BY DISTRACTION and harp on how “the law firm was not founded by my Son” which was not the key point!!!

    Over and over and over we see these distractions and distortions from the ObamaBinBiden campaign to avoid their past sins and current desire to “Progress” (they’re “Progressives”) away from “Free Market” and “Individual Responsibilities” to more “Collectivism” and out-Right Marxism. And they don’t like being called on it.

    It, of course, doesn’t help when Bush has put forth (via “Bailout”) some of the worse Socialistic garbage. They could’ve laid that all at the feet of Democrats and just played the “reluctant participant” but instead led the charge. For that we may suffer.

    BUT IT AIN’T OVER… If the Dem’s get these tough questions and remain Defensive about it, we will have our Victory.

    I emailed WFTV to commend them and the Anchor, here is the response….

    Dear Viewer: Thank you for taking time to contact us regarding Barbara West’s recent interview with democratic Vice Presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden. The Obama campaign contacted us last week offering Senator Biden, via satellite, for a short interview. Barbara West, one of our most experienced anchors, was asked to interview Senator Biden, just as she had been on previous occasions. It is our goal at Eyewitness News when interviewing any political candidate or public official to ask them a direct question about an issue currently in the public debate. Last week, when much of the political discourse centered on Senator Obama’s statement to ‘Joe the Plumber’ that he thought ‘sharing the wealth’ was a good idea, Barbara decided to ask Senator Biden just how far an Obama-Biden administration would go in ‘sharing the wealth’. What followed was very pointed, provocative question. We allowed Senator Biden to answer, fully unedited. We tell our reporters and news anchors to ask the questions that one of our viewers might ask. For example, when Senator Obama visited Lakeland recently, Barbara (knowing her time with a presidential candidate would be limited) asked Senator Obama two questions: first, about drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico; and, second, about his position on the space program. The Senator’s answers dominated the news cycle for the next day. You can see all of Barbara’s interviews with political candidates at WFTV.com including one she just did Monday with Senator John McCain. Perhaps more than any other presidential election in recent memory, this current election has stirred passions – some of them quite partisan – in many people. Through it all, we believe our mission is to address vital issues that we will face together, regardless of our own personal views with thorough, even handed reporting. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.
