Biden slams reporter for stupid question

You gotta love Biden for having the guts to call out a reporter for giving credulity to the stupid "communist" right-wing, smear tactics against Obama's viewpoints that government should help poor and middle class people, not just the rich.

And yes, Virginia, there IS a such thing as a stupid question. The real fun comes 2:20 into the interview.

UPDATE: I heard that the station is being slammed today for their lack of journalistic professionalism. Also, it turns out that the reporter's husband is a consultant for the Republican party in Florida.

On Grasping At Straws, Or, We've Got Biden Right Where We Want Him

by: fake consultant

Tue Oct 21, 2008 at 17:53:26 PM EDT

John McCain is all excited today, because, in his mind, Joe Biden has really Screwed It Up This Time by claiming that Obama will be tested by a foreign policy challenge, that Obama will act in a way we might not immediately trust, and that we should stand by him if it happens.

Oh My God You Have To Vote For Me, is the McCain response, because we can’t afford someone who will be tested in office.

As it turns out, Joe Biden is the smarter guy in this argument, a few calm words are in order...and I’m here today to offer a response that will set McCain’s foolishness right back on its heels.

So let’s get to it.

Let me enumerate the McCain policy offerings: Here's the problem when you advocate less government except for defense, oil and gas exploration and to "shake things up in Washington."

Obama versus McCain: Competing Paths to Health Care Reform

by: Quality Counts

Sat Sep 13, 2008 at 22:46:12 PM EDT

Let's start with a premise many political partisans may be reluctant to accept. John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin all are honest, concerned, capable Americans who truly want what is best for our country. But good intentions do not guarantee good outcomes, and predicting the future is fraught with difficulty. Having reached a critical fork in the road, how should voters in Michigan and elsewhere decide which guides to follow?

I certainly can't pretend to be expert in all the issues being addressed in the Presidential campaign. However, when the topic is health care reform, I have extensive education, in the trenches experience, and a track record to back up my professional and political analysis. So I will focus on health care as a window to understanding where each pair of candidates would take America if we give them the chance.
