Barbara West (WFTV) interviews Joe Biden

[cristabell7]

Barbara West must be psychic! 3/27/2011 here we are with the Marxist redistribution of wealth and jobs are being lost more than ever now. They are shutting down oil drilling, shutting down coal mines, shutting down fishing in Brevard Co., Fl., ruining our healthcare, and hoping to make our electric bills "skyrocket" in Obamas's words.

[haiglee]

"Fatal blow"? Ya sure, if you considering winning to be a fatal blow. You forgot in your interview to mention your hubby worked as a consultant for the GOP. What's wrong? Slip your "mind"?

[tjk728]

i hate this lady

[wmbrown6]

@tjk728 - Who do you prefer - that MSNBC bulldyke Rachel Maddow? The other lipstick leftist hacks such as Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer or Christiane Amanpour (who was involved at one time with former Clintonista Jamie Rubin)?

[CADDOXF]

barbara west's husband is a gop hack. He's probably writing her questions. shameful!

[Greenandscaly]

Barbara West temporarily forgot her objectivity as a newsperson and displayed her GOP leanings she shares with her husband. Listen to her biased phrases: "Aren't you embarrassed?" . . . "Crushing political blunder" . . . "How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?" . . . "Are you forewarning that nothing will be done and America's days as the world's leading power are over?" Shameful.

[wmbrown6]

@Greenandscaly - Oh so you (and everyone else who disses Ms. West) see no problem with every other media outlet being shills for the Democrat Party and Obama?

[MA5556555]

since the 90's three countries have occupied the first rank of the UN's human developement index (PPP per capita vs life expectancy vs literacy) canada (1995-2000) then norway (2001-2007) and now iceland in 2008 (socialist countries). Sweden, wich is mentioned in the interview as one the big bad socialist states in the interview is ranked 7 this year (the us are ranked 15, behind austria) So what's wrong with socialism then? that its WORKS? (plz draw the line between communism and socialism)

[eiredance92]

haha! Biden is such an idiot! he knows nothing! Same thing for Obama.

[tokyotubular]

HHAHAHAHA What do all of you morons have to say now. The country has spoken and Barack Obama will be the new President!

[MA5556555]

and his rates of approval are 82% a record! (and remember were in a period of economical crisis)

[wpw232]

HaHa you must feel stupid now. Not only is he dainty we now know he's impotent.

[philchemi]

pirahedberg Listen and listen good this is not Sweden we get health care when we need it We don't have to wait 3 months to get an MRI and by the way there is nothing free, you are paying for the dead beats that don't want to work.When you give people something without letting them work for it,they take avantage of it and do nothing,its human nature.

[paulpx2]

we already pay for the "dead beats" when they wait 3 weeks until they're almost dead, then go to the emergency room and jack up the price for everyone because public hospitals cannot deny service, instead of being able to go to the doctor and get some antibiotics or whatever.

universal health care SAVES money for the country.

[licha1285]

Stupid Bitch.

[RockawayRiotSquad]

This was NOT the same as the Couric interview with Palin...this woman just made outrageous claims of Marxism...actually using a Karl Marx quote, hahahaha...was Bill Clinton a Marxist? What this dumb reporter fails to realize is that many Republicans, especially Reagan, have incorporated some "redistribution of wealth" programs in their administrations...What Couric did was EXPOSE Palin's ignorance and intellectually BANKRUPTCY on major issues...I'm glad Biden made her look like a fool.

[GoBogi]

RockawayRiotSquad, you obviously have no damn clue what Bill Clinton actually did to ask such a stupid question. The woman asked questions the same way the average person would have asked. Let's face it, those things are facts. He gave money, ACORN is partisan for Obama and he worked for and with them, and Income Redistribution is a Marxist staple. Do some research. She did well, by interviewing him like a normal person and not a stuck up reporter :)

[RockawayRiotSquad]

this is NOT a normal interview..you don't disrespect a VP candidate like she did...Obama was a lawyer for ACORN YEARS AGO...he has no association with them anymore...how can he control a few kids who filled out fake applications with fake names? HOW THE FUCK CAN HE CONTROL THAT? McCain gave several speeches for ACORN...just like he gave 450,000 dollars in government money to Rashid Khalidi...Obama wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts back to what they were under Clinton...thats not Marxism.

[GoBogi]

Obama has been a benefactor for ACORN by funneling money their way to fund them. They were supposed to be Non-Partisan and it took all of this for them to finally fess-up than they were Pro-Obama all the way? That money going to Khalidi was for Palestinians to be able to engage in Democratic things like VOTING. There is a big difference. That is not a person-to-person relationship like Obama's very questionable ones... Get real please, more fact less spin.

[GoBogi]

Also, Joe Biden has been one of the more disrespecting politicians these days. Saying stuff like "You can't go into a 7-11 without having a slight Indian accent" among other things. Stop acting like he is Mother Theresa. She asked tough questions in a confrontational way, and there is nothing wrong with it. Watch the McCain Interview. The funniest thing about the interview is that he lied multiple times in it...

[stefanstormlarsen]

A socialist country much like Sweden!? Is there really no end to American ignorance? And let's say Sweden really was a socialist country, wouldn't that make socialism the best system in the world? Sweden is a highly successful, truly democratic country with a great number of esteemed multinational companies such as Volvo, H&M, Ikea, just to mention a couple... Hey Barbie, put your act together!

[MikaelH89]

Word.

[Hopster1]

It's hilarious that Republicans are calling out voter fraud after 2000.

[pirahedberg]

West asks Biden about the supposed attempts from Obamas side to turn America in to "a socialist country like Sweden". Well, would that be so bad? I live in Sweden, and we have free education and health care to mention some things. And by the way, we also have democracy here in Sweden, despite being a "socialist country". If I remember correctly, your presidents the past 20 years have been named either Bush or Clinton. Millions of people can't afford medical care. What system is worse?

[Hopster1]

Voter Fraud is a HOAX! For the voter fraud that ACORN is being accused of to occur someone would have to go and try and vote as Tony Romo, or Mickey Mouse. They would have to show ID that proves they ARE Tony Romo or Mickey Mouse for the actual FRAUD to be perpetrated!!! And, the people at the voting booth would need to be stupid enough to believe them. This is TOTAL BS. Wake Up America and USE YOUR BRAINS!!!!!

[thisnameused]

Better check your facts Hopster1. Courts have granted injunctions in at least 2 states to suspend the HAVA law for the next election. Voter fraud has been going on for decades, however it has not been so blatent until now. ACORN has registered real people multiple times - it's all over the press. They even showed it the forms on TV. It's high time some one busted these Marxist for what they are!!!

[Hopster1]

I thought that Biden was very polite when it was rather obvious that the questions she was asking were rather crazy. I especially loved his rather poignant reply to the last question about Obama turning the USA into a Socialist country. The ONLY people who say that are the EXTREME Right Wing of the Republican party. Frankly, the mere question embarrasses the Republican Party, and the reporter who was dumb enough to ask it.

[joewagonertuffy]

I can't believe I actually watched this station and thought they were trying to be fair to everybody. I'm done with them...

[teton99]

Obama's Red Shirts

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Posted 10/22/2008

ACORN calls itself a "nonpartisan" group seeking to register minorities and the poor. But its political arm has endorsed Barack Obama, who both trained the group's staff and sued the state of Illinois on their behalf. And Obama's campaign has given ACORN affiliates $800,000 for a get-out-the-vote drive.

[erictube2007]

Joe Biden is an idiot and pathological gaffer. They didn't pay them one single penny to register one singer voter. Yep, ok. They paid them $800,000 to register thousands (of the same people) in 15 states.

[trevb38]

Big Joe, got OWNED by a WOMAN!! AWESOME!!

[ThyAssautical]

Don't let 08' be an "Obamanation".

[doittoit4u]

listen how arrogantly he laughs at the questions

Ha Ha Ha...! Joe Biden having to catch hardballs instead of the usual softballs he is used to getting from the media left Joe the gaffer having to earn his keep on the Dem ticket:

"Obama OBiden" camp can't stand the heat so they cancel any further interviews with this station Barbara West- brilliant journalist

[guywalker29]

No help with the questions from Senator Joe McCarthy?

[gmcjetpilot]

OH MY GOSH, repealing Bush's wealth redistribution, tax cut for rich (that McCain was against last yr), giving WORKING TAX PAYERS A TAX BREAK isn't socialism; we've had progressive tax since 1910.

What's old is new again. The Communist scare tactic from GOP in 50's & 60's is RETRO bull shit.

Thankfully people aren't falling for the bull shit. The wingnuts don't even know what socialism or Marxism is.

Biden handled it perfectly. Right wing spin & whishful thinking, they wish he lost it.

[noballadsmike78148]

I'm tired of this! What tax does'nt "spread wealth around" ????

wasnt it John McCain who went along with the pork-laden $700 billion bailout? Would'nt that by this logic make him a socialist too?

[misfitskater6]

Did that crazy lady in the red shirt from that McCain rally write these questions? Cuz they are retarded, at best. Biden even provided good answers for those questions, while Palin, in the very few interviews she's done, can't even name a supreme court case besides Roe v. Wade or describe what the VP does.

How many times do we need to hear the same answers from the Dems on these ridiculous topics? Seems the Rep's tactic of distracting dumb voters is working... But they'll lose anyway. GO OBAMA!

[author]

WFTV's Barbara West came up with these questions herself. She's a co-anchor woman and the medical reporter for Orlando's Channel 9. She asked John McCain some tough questions, too. I've watched her for about 20 years; never once have I seen her lean politically left or right.

[gmcjetpilot]

"came up with these questions herself"

"I've watched her for about 20 years; never once have I seen her lean politically left or right."

Author: YOU'RE A FRAUD, PLANT, LIAR or DUMB!

Her husband works for RNC (Republican communications)

"She asked John McCain some tough questions"

She fawned over McCain & asked the obvious, what is wrong with your campaign. No shit its obvious. Conservative pundits have been saying WTF about maccain, his campaign & his VP pick for a month now.

[dakevdude]

Hahaha...Biden really owned her with his responses.

[vegas4323]

BARBARA YOU ARE A LESBIAN !!!!!!!!!

[bringitmeister]

Luckily I don't have to waste my breath telling McCain supporters to shut up because an Obama victory will do it for me. November 5th is going to be a wonderful day.

[zipthwung]

Comrades,

Our plans to socialize the banking industry are near completion. Soon we shall nuke Palestine!

Dick Cheney and Co.

[zipthwung]

the call letters for this tv station should be WTFV.

But by all means, keep trying to pretend this isn;t a joke.

[LiberalsStillSuck08]

Comrades,

Premier Obama and the Obama Nation were attacked today by a rogue news agency. Going further interviews with premier Obama and/or any party leaders will only be granted to those news organizations holding a valid news certification authorization by the party.

Louis Farrakhan

Information Secretary

Obama Nation USSA

[zipthwung]

Its something to watch people try to defend a hack journalist! What a joke.

[zipthwung]

I like Sweden. What's wrong with Sweden? I've never been there though. Anyone?

[Jayrob1996]

By watching this interview you would never know her husband, Wade West, is a media consultant for Republican politicians.

[UB83DS]

Isn't it terrible when the MSM holds Obama accountable for his own comments & asks tough questions (boo fricken hoo). If the media would have been doing it's job & investigating Obama the Marxist before now, his friends, voting record & his "mentors" (Black Pathers, Marxists & anti-American scum) he wouldn't have even gotten this far! If he is able to convince enough people & steal enough votes through fraud to get elected God help us all! Socialism doesn't work - spread your own wealth not mine

[Sara123312]

Obama is a Marxist. I know people are angry at Bush. But like overcorrecting in driving can cause a crash, so too can over correcting policially cause great damage. People - the opposite of freedom is Marxism. Obama is a marxist. The proof is in his associations and in his words as recorded in past talks and interviews!

[bad444]

this bitch and all you dick heads writing stupid ass comments are crazy "do you think obama wants to turn this country into a socialist country like Sweden" WHAT if he's the president of the USA he works for the people if he every tried to turn this country communist or control the banks or any stupid shit on this blog he would be impeached. Mccain himself said that the bush tax plan will heart the middle class and poor PPL now he want to double down on it.

[Yldii]

bad444 said:

"WHAT if he's the president of the USA he works for the people if he every tried to turn this country communist or control the banks or any stupid shit on this blog he would be impeached"

Communist leaders don't work for the people. For that matter our government has worked for the corporations and special interest for 100 years or better. I you think the US is bullet proof against communism, you are mistaken.

[sonimac4]

Populist language like Chavez,Morales,Correa, and Castro. If you don't remember the first press conference of Castro in NY (Meet the press)when he visited New York a cute lady journalist asked him:

Mr. Castro, are you Communist? If you don't know the answer, maybe you're too young.

[shubot]

Obviously a hack reporter. She needs to broaden her view of the world beyond Fox news. She is merely stating Republican talking points that are based on innuendo and lies. Nice try but her boy McSame is going down to defeat. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[TheMadSyrupMaker]

This witch should take her sorry ass back to the cave and chew on a cow bone, Republican idiot.

[sonisisuper]

"How has he been a benefactor?"

"Are you joking? Is this a joke?"

"I don't know who's writing your questions..."

Ah, Joe! This is why Joe Biden's so great.

Calling out the interview in the middle of it.

That was a hoot - what an interview!

What a shill that lady is, and Biden did a good job deflecting her talking points all the same. His only gaffe this time was using the word "complicitous."

[sonisisuper]

Oh, and nice try, Mrs. West and WFTV.

Nice try.

[BlacKnightRising]

finally somebody's asking great questions for this moron

[Daisytoo]

Yes and the Little Messiah trembles w/condescending rage at the audacity of honesty. I'd LOVE to see Ms. West interview Sarah Palin. In fact, in this moment, I'm enjoying imagining a Palin/West ticket for 2012 :). The audacity of real hope for change - back to a respect for the Declaration of Independence - not a re-write.

[mwarsame]

1:10 lets get real here........... okay moving on the next question

[RuinousRight]

This woman's husband is a media consultant for Republican politicians. See the interview she did with McCain and the bias is obvious. She must be gunning for a position with Fox News.

Search the internet and you'll find the truth.

Obama-Biden '08

[Yldii]

Michael:

How do you figure me for a lazy thinker? I think for myself, do my research and speak my mind. Its a shame people with similar interest such as you and I, can be separated to the point of insults. So I hope you don't mind that I choose not to trade insults with you.

Peace

[clizzaster]

"So I hope you don't mind that I choose not to trade insults with you."

"If you vote Obama, you are stupid. "

Yldii, I think these two statements might be at odds with each other.

[Yldii]

clizzaster:

I stand corrected. Let me rephrase. If you vote for Obama, you are ignorant.

[Yldii]

To all who think the Marxist question was not legitimate.

Either you are not aware of Obama's communist agenda, or you agree with it. The former makes you uninformed, the latter makes you a Communist.

Which is it?

Do some research.

[michoux26]

First, that quote was referring to a preliminary stage toward Communism. While Marx saw it as a means toward Communism, one can support this policy without agreeing with Marx. But, more importantly, Marx was referring to an end to luxuries. What does this have to do with Obama's policies? Do you really think he's advocating this? Who are you, a College Republican undergrad who wrote a single paper on Marx and gets your Obama info from Right-wing funded blogs? McCarthy would be proud!

[michoux26]

Okay, I just looked at your site; and you're not a College Republican. Now I'm guessing you're a lazy thinker who's learned to appear (to yourself) intelligent by placing the burden-of-proof on others. So, I responded to your sophomoric challenge. I look forward to your research.

[Yldii]

If you vote Obama, you are stupid. Obama knows this and is betting on the stupidity of Americans. Here is one example. So many are snowed into thinking that the rich need to start paying their fair share. But those who bought this crap are unaware of the fact that the rich pay their fair share and most of ours as well. The top 2% pay 86% of all the revenues paid.

[TauSeti3]

She's a GOP hack if I've ever heard one. Talk about self parody! These are not issues Americans are concerned with, just the fringe neo-conservatives.

[Daisytoo]

And the mainstream Neo-Communist hacks keep giving the Big and Little Messiahs free passes. I don't like the incivility of the Left. Nevertheless, it gives me hope since the predictable hatred spewed by the Left in the last election cost them the election. Here's hoping for the same w/this election.

[hjwyant]

Great Job . These idiots have no idea about the real world. If this was Sarah she be talking about Joe 6 Pack or talking about Alaska Oil.

Vote Obama

[Scaredycrat]

Obama's plans for this country are not job growth, but job loss. If you tax the largest companies in this country, and allow unions to sneak in the back door of major corporations as the dems are proposing. It will result in Massive job loss. Ie: Willy mart a major retailer in this country 1.4 million employees. Decides on Jan 21 they take Obama on his word to raise taxes, and allow unions in. They cease to operate in the US. 1.4million jobs lost. Don't think it can happen?

ask yourself why not

[nwbates3]

Biden's last answer paraphrased: "I don't know anybody who thinks that except crazy morons like your right wingin' ass."

[nwbates3]

Thanks for the Marx lesson Barbara. Jeez.

[healthandfit]

Anyone with half a brain can tell Biden was twisting the truth just like Obama's been doing his entire campaign! Oh, btw, Obamas trips to Hawaii on a chartered Boeing 757 each cost more than twice the price of Sarah Palins new clothes (which are going back to charity). It costs about $20,000 an hour for fuel, crew, and maintenance & each round-trip comes to about $400,000. Obamas wasting not only energy, but using the money that his supporters have given him for campaign purposes!

[BobbieandSteveDooley]

Economic Justice or Income Redistribution ... NOBODY will call it what it really is...... Reparations!

[vma18ss]

Answer the question Joe!!!!

No more interviews for YOU!

Whaaaaaaa!

Class envy is their platform....democracy to socialism to communism....right out of Marx's Communist Manifesto.

Biden has obviously not read it. He's a loon

We're in BIG trouble in '08.

Obama in '08, Osama in '09

[scentedflames01]

If the Dems think this is tuff + they cancel anymore interviews

WAKE UP NEWS STATIONS THEY WILL KEEP US AMERICANS IN THE DARK FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS! WHO WILL THE DEM ORGANIZATION DESTROY NEXT FOR JUST ASKING QUESTIONS? LOOK AT JOE THE PLUMBER,HE JUST ASKED ONE QUESTION + SOMEONE GAINED ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO HIS PERSONAL INFO!

I'M WONDERING WHY OBAMA'S GRANDMA IN KENYA KEEPS CLAIMING HE WAS BORN IN KENYA?

HIS MOTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN 13 HERE IN THE US TO BIRTH HIM HERE + NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

[harrylives89]

I love the desperation by the conservatives on YouTube... 'bout a week until the election and you guys really think a 'blunder' by Biden is gonna help push your ticket over the edge. Get over it.

I admire the effort... but is this all you have? As a huge Joe Biden fan, the GOP made an enormous mistake picking a running mate for McCain that wildly overshadows Biden and his frequent off-the-cuff remarks.

I'm truly sorry all the regular-guy b.s. Joe blurts out gets overshadowed by Palin.

[bombaykitty]

Uh...how did Sweden get pulled into this debate?? What's so horrible about Sweden?

[NeilSagan]

If she's not impartial then she is at least journalist-y. (Like truthi-ness).

Biden is hilarious: "I don't know who is writing your questions."

Listen!

This is what an intellectually bankrupt political party sounds like.

[fretblanket2000]

Don't call her a journalist. She's clearly not a journalist.

[ComonSensical]

From this interview this journalist sounds like the dumbest i`ve ever seen. Biden made her look stupid.

[vbennich]

what's wrong with sweden??? we have the best system.

[jstohler]

You can just see the crazy in her eyes.

[christiv3]

Barbara West's husband, WADE WEST, is a GOP Media Consultant.

he apparently gave her a copy of the GOP talking points. Joe may as well have been taking questions straight from Sarah Palin or Elizabeth Hasselbach.

There was definite media bias from the interviewer here!

[PhOtoGenicMemO]

Joe Biden Absolutely handled this interview with class and professionalism, given this Barabra West persons lack there of! A shame to the journalism profession she is, this GOP tool!

Having voted Republican in the past, I will be damned if I do this year, seeing how disgustingly negative the party's gone!

[MasterSgtSlappy]

The urge for Joe Biden to say "How dare you question me!! ...Peasant!" is almost palpable after Barb asks him about getting back to the spreading the wealth question at 4:25. Heh heh heh.

[MasterSgtSlappy]

Crazygolfer waves his hand... These are not the facts you are looking for... Obama is not linked to ACORN, and they are not involved in election fraud, under investigation, or had any offices raided. "Spreading the wealth" is not a Marxist concept, (but somehow it's all George Bush's fault) and only meant "opportunity for the middle class". "Sleeeep, sleeeeep, GOP talking points, GOP talking points."

Sorry Golfer, you can't dodge the truth with movie mind tricks, the facts will damn Obama.

[Daisytoo]

Unfortunately, Marxists and other Liberals have little to no use for facts. And they're the ones voting for their Messiah.

[yeahlikewhatever]

"Haven't paid them one single penny, to register a single solitary voter"

LIAR LIAR LIAR

Talk about splitting hairs -- was he coached by Bill Clinton?

Obama's campaign gave ACORN 832,000 dollars in the primary -- and OF COURSE they didn't tell ACORN they 'must use the money to register voters'. They didn't have to, because THAT'S WHAT ACORN DOES.

It's like saying I didn't let that pit bull go to bite someone they're barking at -- you don't have to, THAT'S WHAT PIT BULLS DO.

[crazygolfer333]

Barbara West's husband, Wade West, is a GOP media consultant. She is clearly just spewing GOP talking points. Here are some of the questions she asked John McCain:

"Why haven't you gone after [Obama] on these serious issues of voter registration fraud and the mortgage crisis?" and "Do you feel that the Democrats are trying to paint you into a box -- in other words, make it impossible for you to criticize Sen. Obama?"

That's not balanced, even-handed reporting. This woman is a GOP tool.

[Thepresentyouth]

When McCain picked Palin they said she was too inexperienced to be VP - over looking the FACT that she is more experienced than the Dem's Prez candidate. When a reporter gets tough on a the dem VP candidate, they say the reporters 'Hubby" supports McCain - over looking the FACT that every mainstream reporter, every one, that has interviewed either Mc or Palin, supports Obama. Not their spouse, the reporters themslves. From a warm sunny sky to a cold and dark cloudy storm, that's change too. VOTE

[Daisytoo]

Yes, yes and again, yes. Isn't it something else to watch Leftists pull husbands and other throw-aways out of the closet when it suits their foul purpose?! If it weren't so disturbing it would be purely entertaining.

[cgdsr]

I think he did a great job answering those questions.

[624787John]

CUT the game, u were never gonna vote for McCain, anyway. Obama thinks he is king, but if he gets in we will all suffer, the man is a idiot and dnagerous...now add them together and we have big trouble. I am thrilled that this brave woman had the nerve to ask the question that most people who undrestand history have been asking...passing around our hard earned bucks should be OUR priviledge, not BHOS..I notice he made sure to have his MILLIONS before he went PINKO. and he is a bully. Eat dirt BO

[624787John]

VIVA BARBARA...it took a woamn to have the guts to not be intimidated into giving the NOBAMA camp another free pass! See how spoiled they are? And they are making trouble for her and for the station. Like they did to Palin (had to be punnished for bringing up McCains numbers) and Joe the Plumber (all he did was ask a question) but since NOBAMA screwed himself he turned his henchmen on poor Joe. Now even with 99% of media kissing his butt, he is after Fox news cuz 2 COMMENTATORS support GOP. USSR

[katoucha05]

She is biased and nazist. She is married to a GOP strategist. I think Mr VP answer well the questions. That's just make more convincing about my choice.

[propeliea]

Tough questions, but answered well. The socialism question is only an issue because it's asking a very complex question in an oversimplified form. If she ahd detailed follow-ups, she would have looked less like a right wing tool with overly generic questions.

Nothing inappropriate about the interview, though if needed detailed follow up questions to be a good interview.

[saoconnor]

Agreed

[AnitaJRT]

We should hope to be like Sweden. They have better education, better health care, and better crime statistics, better standard of living. Perhaps this woman IS on to something!

I love Joe and think he exposed her for what she is -- the narrow thinking, right winged, narrow minded conservative she is. She, and people like her are so closed minded when that they will drag our great nation back to the days of McCarthyism. I suppose she would give Michele Backman a thumbs up.

[Daisytoo]

Go live in Sweden if you like it better than the USA. The crime stats for Islamist rape for Swedish women are not so great, btw. The education is parochial, the health care is typical for nationalized care (abysmal) and, since the Swedes have forgotten how to marry/reproduce (why should they when the govt. provides?!) there will soon be no money left for welfare payments for all. That plus the most pop. name in Sweden is now Mohammad. Goodbye Sweden.

[AnitaJRT]

Actually most of the "facts" you mention are false. I would be happy to consider a move to Sweden but their immigration policies are very strict and most folks from the US don't qualify.

It sounds like you've been drinking the McCain koolaid and need to do some real research as to where we actually stand in the world's eyes,much less where we fall statistically among developed countries.

We are very well traveled and are always surprised as to how we are viewed as US citizens.

[Daisytoo]

I don't for a moment care "where we stand in the world's eyes". This is something perpetually insecure leftists will never understand about Conservatives. While you go seeking approval from everyone in the world, I rely on indestructible values (see the Declaration of Independence) for my sense of well-being. I am very well traveled. Diff. between you and me? I don't overthrow myself or the USA for the approval of another. Neither does Sweden, btw. But you do. How pathetically unsophisticated.

[AnitaJRT]

>>I don't for a moment care "where we stand in the world's eyes".

And that, my dear lady, is what truly separates us.

When I see a starving child, regardless of their nationality, I see their innocence, the loss of potential -- you see someone else's problem.

How lonely it must be looking down at everyone from the top of the mountain.

[Daisytoo]

When I see a starving child, I see a Socialist thug - not unlike Obama - opportunistically glomming onto a social system and bleeding it dry - leaving complete wreckage in it's wake.

As far as 'lonely looking down at everyone from the top of the mt" nothing in my experience beats the condescension of a Leftist. Absolutely nothing. Leftism causes all manner of children to lose potential even before they're born (if not aborted). Sanctimonious victimization politics is what the Left thrives on

[AnitaJRT]

I will be sure to tell my nephew as he he leaves to serve his third tour in Iraq, to be sure to not give any food to Iraqi children since his act of kindness will be nothing more than an act of socialism.

[Daisytoo]

Who was the socialist thug who left starving Iraqi children in his wake? That would be Saddam Hussein. By all means, tell your nephew to feed the Iraqi kids food sent by Americans. That's what Americans do by and large: Help people around the world to learn to help themselves. But don't tell your nephew how much you hate this country before he starts his 3rd tour. It would be way too demoralizing.

[mvhickey]

Barbara West has made a name for herself. She is currently the only journalist in the mainstream media that is willing to ask questions that should have been asked months ago! For those of you saying her husband is a republican, you might want to consider that close to 100% of the journalists that ask McCain & Palin questions are supporting Obama. Great job, Barbara! I hope this will prompt other journalists to follow her lead.

[cloudfire777]

Someone call this channel and make them fire this biased and stupid BITCH

[HammockTimeNow]

Go eat some poi

[Daisytoo]

I called and suggested they give her a pay raise/promotion. She took on the Little Messiah admirably.

[drum1758]

GO JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A moronic point written in moronic "English".

The Hon. Min. Farrakhan never bombed the Pentagon, let alones any building, period. Yet u can still surround yourself wit that KraKKer, William Ayers, who has bombed the Pentagon! Its probably da bond that exists between people with filthy White mothers! Dat it, youre a new breed of Uncle Tom. You come 2 da ghetto to help enuff 2 get noticed and 2 advance your political career, then you disown da Hon. Min. Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright, but keep company with Ayers!

omg best interview ive heard in a loooong time.. hilarious.. nothing more funny than the truth i tell ya

[ProdigySk8400]

Obama and Biden are socialists. Obama's policies look like somthing out of the pages of the book of Marx. Take a good hard listen to what Biden has to say here. And if knuckledragging is trying to prevent America from becoming socialist, Im going to grag my knuckles right down to the bone.

This wonderful witch positively embarrasses human Joe Biden. Weak humans never commit war crimes and hate crimes like we Repug witches do! When humans mess with us we send in our powerful witch army and annihilate them. Witches 2008! Never let the humans win, NEVER.

When asked who writes her questions, this reporter shows not a glimmer of protest or hurt, because of course she didn't write them herself. Here she's only the brittle mouthpiece of some drooling knuckledragger who wants to get into bed with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Oh, wait . . . maybe Rush wrote them? What a surprise that would be.

Kind of like Obama the Marxist writes all his stuff?!? David Axelrod, his campaign manager, also managed black Gov. of Mass. Deval Patrick's campaign in 2006 -- same "theme" of "hope, change, yes we can, the change we need, blah, blah, blah" and so many American suckers have fallen for it. Obama will say and do ANYTHING to get into office, and believe me, you will regret it. You think it's bad now, just wait. Wake up! McCain/Palin!!!

[annamally]

So when is McCain going to reschedule his abruptly cancelled interview with Larry King on CNN because he got upset with treatment of Palin

[relentless3566]

Finnally a reporter that ask real questions! Americans want answers to the tough real questions, and it's about time the news media stepped up and asked questions that all Americans need to hear answers to. I am so tired of the media bias thats been out there.

Obamas team reacts by canncelled all further interviews with this news station, what? Because Barbara West asked questions that concern Ameriacns? We have a right to ask and recieve answers, even to the tough questions. GOOD JOB!

[annamally]

this is... how did McCain call this? gotcha journalism... Good journalist questions should not expose biasis. She was cheap

[luvtobefree]

WOW..you don't see this too often!!!!!

A reporter actually doing their job and asking a Democrat the kind of tough hardball questions that Republicans get asked routinely.

[ozphil]

Biden couldn't lie straight in bed. Best wishes to barbara having the guts to stand up and ask one of the masters of spin real questions

Joe the day drinker gets called out on obamunism. Say it ai'nt so Joe
