I was reading an article on TH this moring called "Is 'Joe the Plumber' a plumber? That's debatable" (by JOHN SEEWER-Associated Press writer Sharon Theimer in Washington contributed to the report.) I must admit that the writers had a difficult time portraying Mr. Wurzelbacher in a positive light. After reading the article I have learned;
- Joe's " name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher,"
-"court documents show he owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes....Wurzelbacher owes the state of Ohio $1,182.98 in personal income tax, according to Lucas County Court of Common Pleas records."
-"he doesn't have a plumber's license"
-"he works for someone else at a company that does residential work"
-he is a "a self-described conservative"
-he lives "on a narrow street lined with ranch- and split-level homes"
-he is apparently a "divorced father of a 13-year-old boy"
-he drives a "black Dodge Durango SUV" (oh the liberals must really hate that one)
-"he was a fan of the military" (something else Obama and his supporters hate)
-"He is registered as a Republican" (oh no)
-"a McCain campaign official contacted him several days before the debate to ask him to appear with the candidate at a Toledo rally scheduled for Sunday."
-"he's now scheduled to be in New York for TV interviews." (oh I'd stay away from these Joe their invitations to a slice and dice)
It is interesting that the American public has learned more about "Joe the Plumber" in less then a week then they have learned about Obama since he began his political carrier. I must ask, why? Herein lays a possible answer;
On a Mike Gallagher show the other day an Obama supporter called in and made the point that conservatives did not want to focus on the issues (not true), but rather the candidates (go figure). Evidently the Obama supporters do not realize that the candidates themselves are two of the main issues of this campaign. The Obama supporter made it clear that when the people focus on the candidates (this is not made up) that their guy never wins (again, go figure). The LSM (Left Stream Media) seems a bit duplicitous in it's coverage of "Joe the Plumber" and it's "coverage" of their presidential candidate. So, the question is, why? After all, if Obama is just like one of us then why all the cover up? I believe Obama's mask is beginning to slip and the arms of those that are doing their best to prop it up may be getting tired. Let us hope it is not to late for the American public to see the true Obama and where he (and others) want to take this country.
