Are you joking Joe?

It seems that Joe Biden and the Obama camp are not used to taking the tough questions. This is a whole new experience for them. They are so accustomed to having the mainstream media in their back pocket that it was totally horrifying to them when Florida's WFTV-Channel 9 anchorwoman Barbara West asked some tough questions.

When Barbara asked Biden about Obama's "spread the wealth" comments, and when she compared Obama's comments to socialist Karl Marx, Biden's response was "Are you joking? Is this a joke? Is this a real question?”. YES JOE, it is a real question, and NO JOE, this is not a joke As a matter of fact, it is very serious because if Obama is elected, a free America as we know it will be history.

But Barbara didn't stop.....she then asked Biden about his recent comment that Obama could be tested early on as president. She asked if the senator was saying America’s days as the world’s leading power were over. Biden's response.....“I don’t know who’s writing your questions." Well...guess what Joey, lots of people would like to know the answer to these questions, including me. You and Obama want to become the next leaders of this great nation and you should be able to answer these questions and be held accountable for your socialist agenda.

So, what was the Obama camp's response to the interview? They cancelled Biden's wife, Jill's, appearance on the station and responded with this:

“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 Jill Biden cancellation was “a result of her husband’s experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West.”

“Mr. Biden didn't like the questions,” said WFTV news director Bob Jordan. “We choose not to ask softball questions.”

So, I guess the only ones that are supposed to get the tough questions are the McCain camp? I'm sure the mainstream media will not report on this, but it just fascinates me that when someone questions the democratic candidate's actions, they respond with such indignation. Could it be that they are afraid if the word gets out, they may lose this election? One could only hope.
