bobcat West asked a good question. Obama/Biden are so used to the media kissing up to them that Biden didn't know how to handle it. This is what we have to look forward to if Obama is elected. If you ask a hard question you get slammed. Case in point, Joe the Plumber and now Barbara West. How DARE anyone ask someone from the Obama camp to explain their stand on an issue! Look for more of the same to come.

The Anonymous Liberal —
The right wing blogs are all worked into a lather over an interview Joe Biden did recently with WFTV, a local television station in Orlando. They seem to think Biden somehow embarrassed himself or got rattled during the interview. The fact that they think that is further evidence of the rapidly widening gulf between the reality most of us inhabit and the alternate universe where most right wing bloggers now reside. ...
Leftwing Blogosphere Crying About Biden's Tough Interview
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... Joe Biden gave it to Florida WFTV anchor Barbara West Thursday when she asked him a slew of questions straight out of John McCain's talking points. West began the interview by asking whether Biden was "embarrassed" by Barack Obama's association with ACORN.

Let's talk about media 'boycotts'
Political Animal —
LET'S TALK ABOUT MEDIA 'BOYCOTTS'.... By now, I suspect most people have seen the breathtaking interview between Joe Biden and Barbara West of WFTV in Orlando, in which, by any reasonable standard, West's questions fell somewhere between "ridiculous" and "in need of medication." Soon after, the Obama campaign realized there wasn't much point in talking to Barbara West. She's not really a journalist, the campaign wouldn't be treated professionally, and there's no real point in having a dialog. In response, John McCain is now whining to Fox News' Sean Hannity about the Obama ...
