She's humping pretty hard to get a FOX job, innit? I guess you can't blame a b!tch for trying. :-\

She is what a menopausal shrew calls bitchy.

That interview was the best one yet! She is one of few journalists that hasn't kissed the Barack Obama campaign's a$$. Excellent questions.

This is what happens when J-schools fail. I wonder which one she went to…the Institute of Partisan Coverage, maybe?

Typical liberal response, attack the person asking the questions. Here's a news flash, Obama and Biden are asking for our vote. They are applying for a job and we are the employer. "We the people" have a right to ask questions about what their policies are and to explain statements they make on the campaign trail as it relates to those policies.

I was shocked to finally hear some tough questions from the otherwise, "Lame-Stream Media". If you listen to what they (Obama-Biden)say, and to their policies, it's communism plain and simple. If you don't understand that, you don't know what communism is.

Communism/Socialism doesn't work. Never has, never will. Cuba is a good example. Under this "share the wealth" form of Government, Cubans take to boats and at the risk of death,head for America. Doesn't sound like the type of Government I want to live under. When it happens here, GOD Forbid, were will Americans go?

Look at their records. Look at the people they surround themselves with. Listen "carefully" to what they say, and then….Vote!

Tom, your comments are on-the-mark! If this ticket wins, start hiding your money in your mattress because they will come after it, regardless of your income level. They may not raise taxes outright if your income is less than 75K-100K, but they will cut or eliminate some of the breaks that we have in order to "distribute the wealth" to others. I don't know about any of you, but I work hard for my earnings to support my family and I don't appreciate one penny of that being taken from my kids to support someone else.

Um, yeah the media is out to "get" Obama and Biden. That's why the entire media has been licking their balls for the past 18 months.

Poor old Joe with with horrendous hair plugs and diarrhea of the mouth - he got asked a couple tough questions and couldn't handle it.

As pathetic a candiate as Obama is, this tool he seleted for V-P just makes me more convinced than ever that leaving the Democratic Party was the BEST decision I've EVER made. Thanks to the ramblings of Pelosi, Reid and that left wing cocksucker Obama this country is headed even further down the dark hole…..no pun intended!

Again we attack the questioner. 8 drew, you are just the type of person Obama and Biden need to make their Marxist America a reality.

WOW WHAT AN AWESOME INTERVIEW! MEDIA ACTUALLY ASKED SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS AND DEMOCRATS ALREADY LASHING OUT. I GUESS THEY ARE JUST USED TO CHEERING WHEN THEY ASK MUCH WORSE QUESTIONS AND INSULT PALIN IN THE MEDIA. I'M SURE WE WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT BARBARAS PERSONAL LIFE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS THAN WE DO ABOUT OUR OWN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE MR BARRACK OBAMA. WHAT A SHAME. GOOD FOR YOU BARBARA! GREAT JOB! LOVED IT!

ya, did you see how Obama's campaign banned that station from any future interviews? Already sensoring our rights….and he's not even in office yet…how scary Americans are really that dumb to even put a man like that on the ballot. I just keep hoping and praying that this man is not our president….uggggh

With people like Patty, Leah and Dan,(Real Thinkers) maybe there is hope for this Country. Well said guys.

Excellent interview. The fact that Biden freaked is very telling….also that the Obama camp is shutting access to this media outlet. Would they react this way if they led the country? Will people only be allowed to ask questions they want to answer? ….and why another insult because the person asking the questions is a female…(who wrote your questions?) Seems Biden has a problem with strong women….hmmm.

F@#$k American's are stupid.

Steve, do you care to expand on that thought so we know where you're coming from. Thanks.

Wow, who let the trolls out? Patty I hope when Obama's president he gives everybody in your trailer court a tax beak but you. You can just keep your money in your mattress and hope it sprouts.

Ruth. Spoken like a good little Nazi.

I think that says it all.

UK is #1

'Kay, Tom, now you're getting confused - Nazis and Commies are not the same thing. You can call Obama supporters (who support tax breaks for your po, undeserving ass*) commies, or you can call us nazis, but you can't have it both ways.

*I'm getting a distinctly under-$200K-a-year vibe from you and the other trolls here who would support a Republican president who would continue giving the tax breaks to people who make more money than you do.

I don't blame Biden for his responses. The questions are asinine. The questions have already been answered. I would ignore these questions at this point to: to do anything else would only lend credence to them.

You conservatives are a bunch of conspiracy theory whackos.

But obama is the Obamessiah, the great enlightened lightworker conscious ascended master who has come to bring world peace, the change we need. No one should speak bad to the Obama campaign. This anchorwoman should be first to go to the 'change we need' re-eduation concentration camp so she will come out an Obama worshipping obamabot who faints at his sight and get shrills up her legs at the mere mention of his presence. Praise be to Obama!—NOT..Obama is really a former dope smoking dopehead with possible DID and no experience and a long shady list of friends, supporters, and colleagues. One such friend, not getting much press, is a radical Islam supporter in Kenya named Odinga (possibly even a cousin) who was responsible for riots and many s there.

Ruth. Sorry for the name calling. That was out of line. I did the same thing I typically criticize others for. My apologies. There is not much difference between Communists and Nazis however. Both are big central governments who know what's best for the people whether the people like it or not.
Your rights are not self evident with them, but rather, what the Government decides they are. One tactic commonly employed is pitting one group of people against the other to gain power and control. Sound familiar?

anyone who claims that obama's policies are communist is gravely insulting the millions of people who were killed, tortured starved and worked to death by the soviets and maoists. communism, socialism? it does seem possible to me that the right really is that pathetic but don't any of you have any sense of self-respect? when you call obama/biden communists, you're broadcasting to the world that you don't have even an elementary understanding of history, economics, or politics. and for all the ayn rand-reading, right-wing, conservative, republican am-radio listeners, if socialism is so terrible, than why are the scandinavian countries doing so well? why are people so happy to live there? because it's so hellish?, wait, let me guess, because they're not american, they don't "get it". because they're not american, they don't have the stunning genius it takes to vote for the bush administration. twice. (3 times?) and if capitalism is so sacred and perfect, why does it destroy itself whenever the regulators aren't watching closely? again, if it's a mystery to you, it's probably because you don't have even an elementary understanding of history, economics, or politics.

Isn’t it ironic that our government sponsored public schools are the reason people are foolishly and blindly following this Marxist. Obama is such a good speaker that he has convinced the people that Marxism is ok. Un #$@%&ing believeable!

Hmm, let's see, do I pick Democrat Socialism or Republican Fascism?

Where the heck is Ron Paul?

Obama is going to win. All your anger is useless with only 2 candidates to choose from.

Somebody find me Ron Paul!

Yeah, what's so bad about socialism? As long as the people represent themselves?

Oh, that's right, the people of America want a King to make all the hard decisions for them. A Socialist King is better than a Fascist King. I'm sick of Mr. Bush/Mr. Cheney (remember Rumsfeld and now Bernanke and Paulson?)

The Jews wanted a King and God gave them David. Now he will give us Mr. Obama. But no one is ever satisfied, as Mr. Obama will soon discover. And, a famine is coming. Repent and turn to the God of Moses, the God of Jesus.

Garcho. With all do respect, you don't have a clue about politics, economics, or history if you actually believe we should go the way of Socialist Scandinavia. If that's your idea of Utopia you have my deepest sympathy. I, for one, value my freedoms and am not about to turn it over to a communist-socialist pig in democratic clothing.

Tom Catalano - F-UCK YOU Facist Italian- Mussolini

Jess, I assume you support Obama.

This thread is ridiculous… go ask some scandinavians how much they hate their high standard of living, long life expectancy, low-cost high-quality health care, and cleaner environment.

Obama is no Marxist or communist. He's not advocating government takeover of farms, factories, and hospitals (though Bush has presided over gov't takeover of banks). Obama is really quite centrist. He just thinks Americans can help each other out a bit more in tough times, and that the super-rich can help out a little more than others (since they're still doing well).

Tom, you talk about pitting one group of people against another — this is the entire McCain strategy! They keep insinuating that Obama isn't "like us" (whoever we are), that some parts of the country are more "pro-America" than others, etc. Obama, on the other hand, is much more about unity, and putting aside partisan ideology in favor of pragmatic solutions that work for all of us.

Wow! Way to go Barbra its nice to know that all the media is not in bed with Obama! Redistribution of wealth is a socialistic tenet. If it looks like a pig, smells like a pig and sounds like a pig, it must be a pig. The question sure got a grunt, a squeal, and a oink out of Obiden. Barbra don't you know that democrats are not to be asked such questions? Don't you know the golden rule of the main (lame) stream media. Thou shalt not ask a democrat real questions, for 90% of the media are egg sucking democratic pigs and one must not offend a fellow pig.

Guess what, Rick? We already redistribute wealth, because we already have a progressive tax system. Is Ronald Reagan an egg sucking pig? Is George Bush? Is John McCain? Because they all advocate having rich people pay a higher share of income as taxes than poor people. Is the Catholic Church socialist? Because tithing is the original redistribution of wealth.

Nothing wrong with throwing Marx quotes to Vladimir Biden or Che Obama…they are socialists.

Gee Patrick the main thing I really hoped people like you would see is that we are excited that someone in the lame stream media played hard ball with a dem. But I see you are a fan of the lame stream media. Remember Pat if you follow the blind you will all fall into the ditch. Then you would be a ditchy. The lame stream media is like the king without clothes whose entire kingdom marveled how nicely he dressed, until a little boy said," look mom the king is naked" Don't be a ditchy Pat. Barbra is merely saying Obama and Biden are naked as a jaybird. Remember Obama is Mr. Talky, not Mr. Do-ee. It would be nice if he at least spent one full term in the senate not him, no one year and he is ready to be Mr president. One year later, he may want to become Mr world leader.

Socialism is when you have two cows and the government takes one of your cows and gives it to your neighbor.
Communism is when you have two cows and the govt takes both of your cows and sells you the milk.
Nazism is when you have two cows and the govt comes along and shoots you and the cows too.
Capitalism is when you have two cows and you take one cow and sell it and by a bull!
Redistribution of the wealth is a step toward socialism which in turn leads to a step towards communism. Let's not be deceived what Obama is preaching is socialism it's the same old axe head just a new handle. The handle is called redistribution!

Isn't it obvious? I want a FOX job!!!

I see…it's alright when tough questions are asked of conservatives, but don't ask the liberals anything pointed.

Anyone who thinks was somehow unfair really needs to take a look at their candidate's attitudes towards "fairness."

Well it turns out that her husband, Wade West, is a political and media consultant for Republican politicians. The GOP talking points Barbara West used in her interview may have come directly from the McCain Palin communications team via her husband Wade.

From Barbara West's website "I am married to Wade West, an international media consultant to politicians, professionals and organizations."

West's media communication and fundraising skills have made him a popular consultant for Republican political candidates ranging from local elections, to more than 85 members of Congress and members of the President’s cabinet.

Both Barbara and Wade West have frequently emceed Republican fundraisers in the local Central Florida community for at least a decade.

Joe Biden was on top of his game for this entire interview but when he said "I don't know who's writing your questions!" that was when he totally owned her and you can even see the interviewer gulp in her throat, I presume out of guilt for being an unethical journalist.

Hmm, Obvious anger at having to answer a question that I as an American citizen have been concerned about! The liberal democrat media manipulates the masses. The first tough question to a Democrat leads to a media ban! I don't trust the media. This leads to suspicion. Suspicion leads to fear. and fear leads to anger. Should I be suspicious of the media? Angry at the media? No, they should be asking these questions. No, I should fear the Obama/Biden socialist regime that expresses anger and shuts down the first amendment out of fear and anger! Socialism may be just an election away!

Yeah, looking at the past 8 years– the trickle down theory ain't workin. The rich have gotten richer & American is deeper in the red than we've EVER been. War no longer is an economic stimulant, ye old guard. Somethins wrong w/capitalism as we know it today. I think some social programs & government regulation are in order. Look at the greed of the self-regulated banks (yea, here's a loan you can't afford to pay– trust me I'm the professional)? Remember Kenneth Lay? How about Halliburton (Cheney's former employer)? I've been to Sweden & their taxes are off the chart– but you see don't see streetpeople & junkies in the cities. I've stayed in the poorest district of Stockholm & it was clean & safe– the laundry is included in the rent :-). AND healthcare & education are available courtesy of your tax dollar. Can you imagine being able to attend the university & not paying thousands of dollars in student loans? What's a college tuition these days? How much a month do you pay for health insurance + copays when you use it? I wish we had better candidates to vote for, however the way things have been done in the past are clearly not working. Besides, the Cleavers was a TV show– how many Americans did that actually represent? That wasn't the majority working class, you can bet your SS check. America as we know it is over. Good riddance to greed run amuck. I'm voting for opportunities & change for all of us. Call it socialism if you like –I call it the Christian thing to do. Y'know: Christ-like.

She does not need a FOX job. She is the top anchor in the Florida area. She is one of the reasons that WFTV is the top rated news in Florida.

Dear "suckit"–before you play the "Christian" card, you should really evaluate if supporting a candidate that is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage is really something that Christ would do. Christ loves all of his people (sinners), but that does not mean that he "looks the other way" when we condone practices that do not reflect his Word. Christ dined with prostitutes and the unsavory - not because he thought that their practices were "ok" because it was their right to choose, but because he knew they needed his guidance to find the right path away from their chosen sin. I'm not sure what will happen to this country no matter who is elected–I just hope that Christians will not stand for our opinions and interests being "hushed" by those that undermine our values.

Oh, and another thing, maybe you should really re-think your screen name. Not a good choice for someone who claims to be doing the "Christ-like" thing.

Susan: have you watched the debates? Both presidential candidates and their running mates oppose gay marriage. It's easy for a conservative to immediately assume that all liberals are pro-gay marriage. Please don't fall victim to these ridiculous stereotypes - it makes you look like you're uninformed.

Kel- the candidates may be against gay marriage personally, but I'm more concerned with the policies they will pass. The demorcratic party has always stood on the side of pro-choice and gay rights/marriage(unions). Senator Obama will not run the country without influence of his party. That is not being uninformed- just realistic.

GOD BLESS HER. SHE IS GETTING MY WRITE IN VOTE!!! MCAIN IS AS MUCH A SOCIALIST PIG AS OBIDEN. ANYBODY WHO WOULD GET IN BED WITH "SWIMMER KENNEDY" IS A USLESS FUCK!!!!!

Unbelievable. Obama is NOT a communist. I doubt most of you even know what the term means beyond the two sentence definition you learned from Faux news. Not only do you embarrass yourself, but you spit in the face of every single person who actually HAS suffered under real communism in places like the USSR or Cuba. I'm sure they'd all be laughing at all the idiotic Americans who love to yak about communism like they know what they're talking about, if they could even afford a freakin radio. Before you start using big, adult words, make sure you know what they mean.

I agree that the Dems should be able to take tough questions from the media, and answer things that the people are really concerned about. But these were not real questions. They lacked logic. And to hear that real Americans are concerned about these issues makes me truly scared. You actually think that giving tax cuts to people making less than 250K a year = communism? Really? Think about it for two seconds, logically, rather than acting all reactionary. Of course it isn't communism, it's still capitalism; Obama and Biden have never proposed to abolish capitalism. Why are you even thinking along these bizarre lines? USE YOUR BRAINS, PEOPLE, OR DEMOCRACY WILL DIE!

Whoever wrote those questions has to be the stupidest person on EARTH. Seriously, what kind of questions are those?? Turn this country into a SOCIALIST country?? PLEASE.. thats beyond stupid. IDIOT.
