    She did use McCain's talking points as questions. Watch her interview with McCain and then watch it with Biden -- she was a different person.

    Obama campaign cuts off WFTV after interview with Joe Biden

    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?

    If simply saying "spreading the wealth" makes Obama a Marxist, then every single politician who doesn't support a flat-tax is a Marxist.

    That's why it was a dumb question.

    Wow that lady isn't a real journalist is she? What a moron. Who the hell would seriously ask if Barack's tax cuts for the middle class was marxism? That lady was a complete idiot. No candidate should go on any program with her no matter which party they are from.

    I think Biden did a good job with the interview.

    She was not only biased she was unhinged. That was total house of Un-American Activities style questioning there.

    They got some real smart people working in that station. Surely questions like "aren't you a Marxist?" will guarantee you an interview with the next president of the United States.

    I hope this is just a front and not what Faos really thinks. I mean how is asking Sarah Palin what newspapers she reads a tough question?


    Plus this "reporter" is clearly just spitting John McCain's talking points. I don't get how ending the Bush tax cuts and going back to what people were aleady paying before is "marxism."

    Every case of phony voters has been turned in by ACORN. How is this hard to understand? While on the otherhand, only Republicans seem to actaully be racking up legit charges of voter fraud and voter intimidation.

    OMG. This is hilarious. That woman has no idea what journalism is. She should lose her job, and nobody should go on that station as long as she's employed there.

    I love Joseph Biden, he's amazing..

    "are you joking?" :D that b!tch's face was priceless.. Katie Couric not only asked unbiased questions, but they were also simple, such as "what kind of newspapers do you read?" .. this stupid uneducated piece of crap was being flat out r****ded, if she knows the slightest about Marxism, she wouldn't have asked the question..
