Poor, poor Joe.

Posted by L S. "Spencer" Olsen at 8:48 AM


Anyone who watched the debates or just read the news or even our blog knows about this guy in Ohio named Joe Wadafdfjaldfjhaunnvmczvmmv or Joe "the Plumber".  Well, if you don't know...  This is the guy who had an exchange with the 'O' man while his excellency was touring the streets and mingling with the serfs.  Joe says that he wants to buy a plumbing business worth around $260,000 and that the Obama tax plan would tax him more.  This became a huge talking point in the debate.  McCain used it to call Obama out on his tax plan.  It seemed to work.

But now the media has taken the reins from Obama and is doing their duty by executing the smear campaign against Joe.
Here are the points that the media has made so far:
Doesn't have a license to plumb therefore is not a plumber.
You have to do better than that.  Joe works for a plumbing business as a plumber and has worked there for 14 years.  AS A PLUMBER.  Joe doesn't have a plumbing license, but is within his legal bounds for being a plumber since the owner/operator is licensed.  Did I mention that he is a plumber.
Doesn't own the plumbing business yet.
Of course not, stupid!  He said so in his little interview with "His Grace, the Supreme One, Obama".  This is not news.  Try again, media.
Doesn't make $250,000 a year.
Of course not.  He hasn't bought the business yet.  But plans to.  Like he said to Obama.  Nice job, media.  Did it take you long to figure this one out?  Maybe you detectives should apply at the precinct.
Owes back taxes.
Sounds to me like he is already struggling to pay his taxes.  This helps Obama how?  

Look, bottom line...
Joe Wadfadkjfa;ciadsldkfjals;kdfjn represents the everyman.  Why?  Because he is a blue collar worker with a mortgage, child support, and wants to own the small business he works for.  No amount of smear can change that.  He faces the same difficulties that alot of us do.  So, I don't buy it, media.  Crawl back into your cave and try again.

By the way...
I thought Obama said that most small businesses don't make that much money.  Joe works for a company with a partner who owns the business.  That's 2 employees.  Doesn't get any smaller than that.


...and here they are...

Your moment of levity...


.. and your moment of zen...



**Update - 11:35AM Today**
Rush Limbaugh has apparently been reading my blog because he is talking about the media's attack on Joe... excuse me...  Samuel Joseph wasdfasdfasdfasfas.  What a liar...  He goes by his middle name!  Who does that!!!!!?
