Poor Barabra West of Orlando’s Channel 9. Her questions were tough and Biden was flummoxed. It’s been an easy ride for Biden and this was unexpected. He’s been around enough to know better and be better prepared. I thought he was better than that. I think it just shows that the Obama team is so relaxed that they’re only thinking beyond November 4th.

Though I disagree with some of his political views, I’ve always liked Joe Biden. I had thought he would have been the best choice for this season’s Democrat Presidential race. I’m trying not to judge him just on so many months of campaigning, but maybe I’ve too often ignored his off handed comments and klunky interview style.

The actions of the Obama camp to freeze Channel 9 from any further communication with the campaign is a pretty sick reaction. I hope it’s not a precursor of things to come, though Obama has been like this in the past.

I love the way West was entirely professional during the interview and kept her expression straight and focussed.
