Joe Biden with probing questions, the Obama campaign has completely banned the television station from future access and interviews. &lt;br&gt;According to the Orlando Sentinel, Biden was so disturbed by West's searching questions that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife. &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best, for the duration of the remaining days until the election,&amp;quot; wrote Laura K.

Looking at it like that, I have begun to feel the same concern Joe Biden referenced in his two speeches. With cuts in defense spending and multiple world conflicts, are we about to lose our place as leader of the free world? Unfortunately, I voted early for Obama and now I feel sick inside. I hope people realize this also before they make the same mistake I did. Change, change, change your mind before this becomes our reality. </description></item><item><title>Obama: The closing argument </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/27/1596389.aspx#1596430</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:28:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1596430</guid><dc:creator>Ms Jenny</dc:creator><description>I can't wait for President Obama to be sworn in!</description></item><item><title>Obama: The closing argument </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/27/1596389.aspx#1596435</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:29:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1596435</guid><dc:creator>Andrew,  Monticello, NY</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;Where's the story about the audio from 2001 where Obama talks about &amp;quot;redistributing the wealth&amp;quot;?

Hundreds of thouasands of people with modest incomes have been contributing regularly to Obama, $50 or $100 at a time over a period of months. Some may have even maxed out their donations at the $2300 limit. The corporate interests who back the joke of &amp;quot;public financing&amp;quot; pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into the RNC, 527s, and &amp;quot;victory committees&amp;quot; that get around the law. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In return for their largesse, the monied interests expect legislation, tax cut, and deregulation that will increase their corporate profit margins if their guy McCain gets elected. Obama's small donors expect nothing but a competent leader who'll benefit the entire country in return for their donations.</description></item></channel></rss>
