It seems like there’s a bit of controversy over an interview with Joe Biden. Malkin’s story is here. I actually think Biden answered the questions adequately, and the interviewer missed a few followup opportunities. What struck me most about this interview, however, was how it seemed appropriate. And that’s when I remembered that we don’t see Biden or Obama being asked pointed questions like this, which is why this interview sticks out so much.
If I could ask each of the Democratic candidates one question, it would be as follows.
“Senator Obama, do you believe wealth can be created? You have stated that you want to spread the wealth around, do you believe it is a zero sum game?”
“Senator Biden, when you stated back in 2001 that we should consider giving Iran 200 million dollars, no questions asked, were you just throwing out ideas in a fit of brainstorming, or was this a serious suggestion? Does your foreign policy instinct tend to this sort of pre-emptive appeasement?”
I wonder what their answers would be?
