This guy got his fifteen minutes of fame :) haha

FWIW - I drive through his village almost every day on my way home from work

I think this story will have a longer shelf life. It is Obama in his own words advocating "spreading the wealth around."


It is interesting that his half brother lives in a cardboard hut.

It's very sad - not that I begrudge JtP his 15plus minutes - but I'd like to see more attention paid to the response he got from Sen. Obama. I truly don't understand how people can hear him talk about redistribution of wealth and not be very scared.

In his high school and college days in the late 60's my DH was a member of the American Socialist party. He has since repented of his ways and is a staunch political conservative. DH says Sen. Obama talks pretty much pure Marxism.

Very interesting. What is a DH by the way? Takes one to know one :) God bless.

Joe the plumber? Poor guy got himself more trouble than he could have imagined, embarrassing the big O like that. Thank you, media, for telling us all about Joe, who's just a joe from Ohio, and telling us next to nothing about Barry O'Bama.

Joe's having his 15 minutes
:cool:

Joe prolly wishes it were only 15 minutes...:o

I think it's horrendous what Obama and his "campaign" supporters have done to Joe...

...show's very little respect...let alone concern...for the American people.

Another fine example of Obama's scorched earth campaigning...:doh:

when I see WHO supports Obama & what they're doing, it tells me all I need to know as to why he isn't the candidate for me as a Christian to vote for!

Which "side" is pushing this man?? :idea:

Um...me?

Reading posts like this really makes me feel bad for voting and being open about who I vote for.

I know things are really charged up right now. But it's still unfortunate to be insulted like this.
Oh well. Not taking this too personally...just saying.
:)

I expect them to play Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots with eachother...I don't like it...but it's been that way forever.

Throwing KO punches at a private citizen....unconscionable...

...and shows me...Obama's words are not worth the breath it takes to speak them.

Would that it were only "potshots" This poor man was decimated publically.

Hopefully...Joe will get enough cash from his speaking engagements to pay off the IRS and perhaps not have to concern himself with the Union Leaders as well regarding whether or not he can keep his job.


Ya know I'm very fond of you WWC...:)...and I respect your right to support the Presidential Candidate of your choice...

...but I'm hard pressed not to point out this is typical Dem tactics...

Rather than address the point at hand...to point the finger at the other guy...not only the other guy...but the guy before him as well...ie: George Bush

Similar to what Obama's doing to Joe...rather than address Joe and his concerns...and every other "Joe" for that matter...lets point our finger AT Joe.

typical wag the dog mentality that the Dem party is great at.

But his is his MO. he's showing now.

ANYBODY that dares go after him, he has to take them out verbally.
He's made 10 or 11 attacks & comments about Sean Hannity so far too.
He gets obsessed with people who he thinks are making a "ding" in his reputation or harming him in the polls - he turns into a pit bull to go on the attack.
This is the type of person he didn't display in the beginning of his campaign; when it was all beneath him to resort to such negative tactics.

The TRUE Obama keeps coming out of the box & people aren't watching or noticing who he REALLY is under that arrogant facade.
& if he's 2 different people NOW, guess what he'll be like in office!

(ps. and lets not forget his associations - each of them radical, leftist and racist.... he can fool many, but not all of us).
