Good job Biden!

I think the Obama campaign was whining because they were being asked to answer questions that many American's feel strongly about (i.e. socialism).

Don't forget a good number of folks that remember the Cold War are still alive and remember that much of what Obama and Biden are proposing is exactly what we were fighting against not more than 50 years ago.

Remember? Better dead than Red...

I agree. I think it's wrong for the Obama campaign to draw attention to this interview. Why not just blow it off? Next!

I would say though that her questions displayed a definite bias. They were not neutral questions. It was as though she had already formed her opinion and was just going through the motions of asking these questions in order to make her points.

They are getting huffy because they are being exposed.

As for the rest of your comments ... I view it as getting answers!

Must I remind you of the question asked of Ron Paul during the debates "Are you electable, Sir ??" ... I don't remember you writing about biased questions when that occurred ... So why do you want to defend Biden with your comments.

It is what it is ... Nothing more, nothing less ... Questions and answers!!

I'm not defending Biden. I'm saying her questions were biased.

But I think it was obvious that Obama's tax plan was going to be taxing the wealthy at a higher rate than they have been paying and that the middle class was going to get a tax cut. He has been saying that from Day One, I think. It was the comment "spread the wealth" that got people riled up.

Absolutely it was ... Because that is plain english and people can understand what it means.

YouTube - OBAMA's TAX PLAN - Penn & Teller and gang return to comment on Barack Obama's socialist plans to turn the United States into a Marxist wasteland! ** FEATURING Plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher. *** Vett Barack Obama, NOT Joe the Plumber! ***

How hard is it to understand - "people making over $250,000 will be taxed at a higher rate and those making less than $250,000 will get a tax cut?" In fact, Joe even knew that.

Yea, I'd start with a simple one ... It would take about 1 minute of lead-in and then the bombshell question ... "If there is nothing to these allegations ... Why not produce a verifiable birth certificate, and also open your school records to public scrutiny ??"

why should you be penalized for doing well?

I was asking the poster to give me an example of a biased question that McCain and Palin have faced.
