"Joe The Plumber" Reacts

[papersplease]

0:01 Joe Wurzelburger...LOL

[sickofcommies]

The REDS will make you DEAD.

[inilledra]

Joe the Plumber is your typical Republican idiot. Stick your slippery slope up your ASS. Jagoff.................

[benrules77]

he says um way too much.

[shariar1995]

this guys should have his own show

[frightnr]

This guy had no clue about anything. He didn't have the money to buy a business. F' in joke. a@#hole

[petrusprimus]

I understand HE DOESN'T NEED A LICENSE there in Toledo. It's not like he's a criminal. The income tax is unconstitutional anyway, invented by commie bastards.

[MooseOfReason]

I really don't have a problem with him not having a plumbing license. Not having one doesn't mean he's a bad plumber. Instead of bashing him for that, look at his record. Has he received complaints?

[pkilla2222]

has he bought his buisness yet?

[sneubert88]

And why does anyone that supports a conservative candidate or conservative idea gotta be "paid by the party" or an unliscened republican??? Can we not have a view without being associated to a particular party? I swear people only see things the way they want to instead of thinking deep and questioning things.

[sneubert88]

Well Joe, now we know where Obama stands. Unfortunatley he takes a hard socialist view on things. Robin Hood politics, take from the rich and give to the poor. But who decides what rich is???

[padude64]

Joe the plumber will be afraid of me the bush loving animalistic idiot who supports 400 and more troop deaths in the USA! Hey Joe blow, go to hell!

[padude64]

Joe the plumber is a wussy!

[LeonardJHarris]

I wonder how much the Mccain campain paid "Joe the Plumber" to say and do what he has been doing

[AtlasShruggery]

Joe the Unlicensed Republican Plumber. How can anyone take this clown seriously?

[8av8today]

Not trying to start something here but I thought I'd help you out in construction facts.

Joe,moe or poe actually do not need a license to be plumbers or do plumbing. Without a license they can perform up to 500.00 dollars in plumbing repairs per invoice and the law protects that under Handy man technicalities. Second, if his boss is a licensed plumber, joe is covered by the General B license or C specialty license held my his boss. No need to discredit without facts.

N.M construction attorney.

[AtlasShruggery]

Uh, 8av8, Joe the Unlicensed Republican Plumber practices his trade in Ohio. And whereever it is that he does his work, he's still proven himself to be a militantly ignorant buffoon.

[8av8today]

Atlasshruggery,

You just said a whole lot of nothing without making significant impact in your rebuttal again. If all my clients were as stubborn like you, I'd be retiring by the time I hit 35 due to extra fees. Hope you got family in California and if they need a good lawyer, tell them to give me a call. Have an excellent day:)

BTW, the law still protects Joe the plumber in OH and long as his boss is licensed, Joe the plumber is also licensed. Or charge less than 500.00 per invoice. FACT!

[AtlasShruggery]

Hey 8av8, my response wasn't intended as a rebuttal to your statement.

Maybe we can call him Joe the Unlicensed Republican Handyman. Or how 'bout Joe the Bigoted Republican Buffoon? Or how 'bout Joe the Former Republican Welfare Queen?

[zaks44]

oh shut up joe an presenter!!!

[poodtang1]

Joe the plumber:

racist

thug

after a latest interview "i don't wan't queers around my kids"

you can add, paranoid homophobe.

[violadude0987]

I didnt hear one racist sentiment stated in this interview.

People need to stop thinking that just cause someone doesnt like obama it means they're racist. Its getting old.

Also hes allowed to not want his kids to be around gays, its America. Who cares

[concreteoutlaws]

I agree

[bigbossman999]

seriously i dont care if this buffoon likes to sing in the rain, who cares about some moron who's trying to capitalize on his 15 nano seconds of fame. The last thing you need to do is call him a racist or stoop to his level...seriously who cares?? lol.

[concreteoutlaws]

How bout you shut your tree huggin ass up. Lets see your gay ass try to turn a wrench or chase a turd. Probably get your turds packed every night by niggers.

[bigbossman999]

wtf is up with calling people the N word??? Why dont you go into compton and call someone that word and see what happens...PUSSY. And im sorry i insulted your idol who you prob whack off to every night, but face it joe is not your kind of people, he's not a redneck hick raped by his father like you were, he just PRETENDS to be so illiterate backwater hicks like yourself will like him. Now quit wasting time on here and go get your GED so you can get that job at wendys faggot..

[concreteoutlaws]

Big boss man huh? Bet you are a weak little crumpled up fag with a sore ass from all the nig nogs that fuck you. Plus you probably deep throat to.

[bigbossman999]

No your mom is the one who deepthroats, thats why she has that raspy ass voice. And you seem to be obsessed with dudes doing you up the ass...bet you get a lot of action in the trailer park from Bubba joe and billy ray.....Maybe joe the plumber can plug some of your leaks cletus??

[TheMichaelFuentez]

joe is the most correct guy ive met! and yes! i do know him.

[thecolts1971]

Someone should really look into this Joe the Plumber guys background. His last name is the same as a guy who got busted with john McCain in the Keating 5 scandal back in the early 90's.

[serajeldeen]

look whos mr. prez exactly so shut up

[frank1600]

Joe the plumber is a Jew!! The Jewish owned media have created a Jew who works at a real job and actually does something. Do you think the Jews would allow a gentile to get this much media attention? Never. So dumb Americans don't even know that this Joe the plumber is a Jew and the Jews are laughing at all you dumb Gentiles.

[apoctalyptoV]

your a fucking idiot

[onojmai]

@apoctalyptoV no, it's "you're a fucking idiot" the contraction of "you" and "are,"

you're a fucking idiot. that's right.

[scarygary76]

Right on man, right on.  Fuck that KIKE!

[AdrianIsaacs]

Actually, he got a pretty direct answer. He just got an answer that he apparently didn't agree with. Asking someone a question and getting an answer that you think is wrong is not the same as getting a "tap dance" answer.

[thedoorsbiggestfan]

lol she mispelled his last name.its wurzellbacher not wurzellburger

[ericksmovies]

And after all that stuff he does, he goes and says he didn't like John McCain. lol. Epic betrayal worthy of any daytime soap opera. Good thing his 15 minutes are up.

[Ps2Viper87]

You obviously dont listen! Which is why you most likely voted for obama. He NEVER said in that conversation that he didnt like John McCain!!

[eks56]

Joe has a book coming out... I bet they don't sell many of them. People that like "Joe the Wanna be Plumber" don't do much reading.

[WsHsbaseball4]

fucking bitch

[Essemsee]

Joe Is A TOOL.....Should have kept your ignorant mouth shut

[bjahava]

This guy says that making 250 K a year is not rich... good god then what is?

[thomasTANKbaber]

he never said that, dumbass

[graffix87]

@bjahava 250k a year isn’t rich, what this does is punish people who worked there way up by hard work and puts more people dependent on government hand outs.

[BudistaslLT]

he's a liar  asshole sellout

[qualityrkc]

hahaha this guy is such a jerkoff...he said slippery slope but he used the example of saying that Obama can go from 250k to 100k tax increases hahaha that is a slippery slope when you cut the number by 60 percent just by pulling it out of your ass haha what a jerkoff

[AscottW]

hehehe. That moron wasn't even a licensed plumber. He also owed back taxes. it just makes me laugh even to this day.

[queegs73]

Can we just put this argument to rest? A Plumber is NOT smarter than a lawyer with a Harvard law degree who taught constitutional law. The Republicans put all their eggs in the Joe The Plumber basket. It didn't work. Try again in 4 years. Please let it be Sarah Palin. The Democrats will welcome it as a gift from heaven to have her as the opponent!

[lmckeel1983]

well that puts hi on the same level with obaa who let his student loans go bad..... look up peggy johnson she represent the liberal party to a tee

[hulkmam3]

why do people whach the news anymore the people on tv all lie and try to make you scared or try to create a common mood for you to conform to. All so you don't look at whats really around and see it the way you want or don't want.

[fragilerealist]

"Joe the plumber" is a misrepresentation, regular joe sixpack plumbers in the US isen't really affected by a tax increase in the 250k usd income bracket; arguing that it's a "slippery slope" is laughable at best.

Then again I would argue that your entire election process is laughable, up to and not excluding your presidential debates.

[rurick1214]

Suck it joe. guess with all these talk shows you wont need welfare anymore.

[topmiracle]

fuck you joe you're a fucking liar asshole..

[purelh]

joe the plumber is a fuckin asshole go to hell

[victoria59]

You wanted to be famous Joe here is your time to shine! Where is Mccain and Palin now?

Google :

"" joe the plumber wife abuse clerk of courts document"" see what "Joe the Wifebeater" ( SAMUEL J WURZELBACHER ) had to pay in court costs after he was found GUILTY of beating his ex wife Jennifer in 1997

This guy is just full of suprises!

Shine On Sam!!!

[lisabob22]

he does seem like a wife beater, I heard him talking about his principles, he thinks wealthy people don't deserve to be taxed more, but the hard working middles class don't deserve a tax break, so his principles are it's ok to beat woman and it's ok to beat down the middle class.

OK Joe now we understand you, your a wife beating moron .

[CanadianArms]

CBS sukss balz

[bolasdemaderas]

who the fuk is joe?! it doesnt matter, ha=P

[LukeArmenia4ever]

Lol what? You dont have to be a licensed plumber to practice plumbing. This guy pays his taxes, and pays his hospital bill, and theres no proof to say that he hasnt, just a bunch of allegations that came out of nowhere to demonize the guy for asking a tough question.

Obama is lucky i didnt ask him a question. I would have called him a racist for his support of racial quotas in the workplace.

[nightmoves44]

Racial quotas in the workplace existed long before Barack Obama came on the scene. My father had to answer that question in the early 70's. Joe was exploited and used by a desperate party looking for anything to help a failure of a campaign. Can anyone tell me what the Republican platform's message was to the American People before Joe the Plumber? "The economy is financially sound"?

[legunncat]

I should post that my point about GITMO doesn't reflect how I feel about McCain, but rather the current administrations policy on detainee handling; ergo change to Obama is preferred over McCain.

[copyandpaste82481]

all you guys are fuckin assholes for hating a guy who asked ONE FUCKIN QUESTION!!!!

i really don't get how one guy asks a question and becomes the most hated man in america

[moviedude7]

joe the plumber = average american. people are hating on him cuz people are idiots. that lady that asked biden if obama was being marxism, her show got taken off the air, so on and so forth. kinda gives you a lil hint of whats coming if obama wins right? anyways, the whole joe the plumber thing kinda convinced me of who i want to vote for. Joe is my hero lol

[ChristianM17]

I feel sorry American if people think the way you do. Joe's a complete fraud yet you think he's an average He evades taxes, doesn't pay child support, doesn't pay hospital bills. Was pulled over three times in Alaska when Palin got the VP. He's the brother in law of charles Keating(read: Five Keating involving McCain). You still think he's an average american? He's not a license plumber so he's taking jobs from qualified true americans who pay for 4G for a license and actually earned a degree

[moviedude7]

and where sir, did you find these claims about Joe? concerning the tax evasion and neglect of hospital bills? and the traffic incidents because i am not aware of them. and im sorry if you think im stupid

[legunncat]

Two words sir: Guantanamo Bay.

[moviedude7]

i have posted about 2 replies to you now, but they are not showing at all on this page. lol, i apologize if it does though later on, as i repeat myself twice. this is just a test by the way to see if this will be posted or not.

[legunncat]

Sometimes they take a while to show up.

Personally I don't fall into either party, so I don't have any particular loyalty to Obama, that's certain. I do believe he would make a stronger statesman which I do believe we could use right now. I guess the future holds the answers on that. I don't have anything against Joe, so I can't address you on that issue. I do believe the democratic process should include 'the people' as our constitution states, so I am all for his impressions on things.

[moviedude7]

Twenty eight words sir:

John McCain has nothing to do with that. McCain strongly advocates against torture and has stood up against it, his experiences has pretty much answered that for you.

* i still havent gotten an answer concerning Joe the plumbers "scandals"

[legunncat]

PS on your post. Good point.

[blackandrew7575]

While I don't know much about Joe the Plummer, what astounds me is people who are discrediting him on this page because he goes by his middle name... wtf? Many guys do that (while it seems to be more of a Southern thing from what I have observed)... who cares? This is not a valid argument at all if you wish to discredit the man's character and motives.

[n00bcakey]

Its not that, Joe's pro-Mccain arguments are contradictory.

[shyhawaiian808]

Why do joe want to speak to Obama, can't he not go to Obama/Biden website. He should check Mccain website too.

[caes4444]

wow. so basically he would be against raising taxes against people that make over 2 million dollars as well, because its a slippery slope and later on it might be 100,000 that is considered rich.

also, how was that tapdancing around the issue? He answered the question very very very thoroughly. Man joe the plumber is a nice guy, but too bad he's not very smart but very stubborn.

[triplecheck4]

Good job Joe! Heavens works in mysterious ways. Joe, you are heaven sent. thanks.

Go McCain/Palin! -- The United Team of America.

[slizzler1]

Joe the bummer/tax evader hasn't paid $1200 he owes in nearly 2 years - how does he think he'll buy a business when he goes to the bank for a loan with that over his head. McCain will give huge tax cuts to the very wealthiest. Also you non-fact finding lazy McPainers- Obama's tax cuts will ONLY go to those with payrolls that have 10% or more of it taxed. Do your research first before riding on the dummy McPain/Falin bandwagon.

[triplecheck4]

McCain, Hero. Obama Zero!

[RICOMIKE1973]

here we go . this is were all politicians get their start from the toilet plumbers.thats why they are all full of shitt. now joe the plumber is a plitician know it all . the gop's savior. common people this guy is the apitimy of america we are not that ignorant.i will not vote this year. either candidate has a hidden agenda for corporate america.they are puppets . the real questions we should be asking is where is our constitution going. where are our rights dissapearing ?

[theironlung315]

who cares what this cliche has to say? I don't. He has zero knowledge of economics or politics. Just a political pawn sent to appeal to idiots.

[HowardSternn]

Joe the Plumber is full of shit.

[eyram89]

Wow being a plumber is such a great job ... Fuck Mccain

[TheBROMINSHIP]

you have convinced me to support obama with that profound yet completely logical statement

[eyram89]

I know right

[JutifiedGamma]

Notice how Joe dodges the question about if he currently makes over $250,000. "Uhh, err, n-not not presently, but what if he lowers it to $100,000 or even $3.59! He's on a slippery slope man!" What a bunch of crap, he won't even admit that he benefits more from Obama's plan than McCain's. Joe's obviously got a hidden agenda.

[jkay07]

given the GOP's history i would'nt discount your conspiracy theory that quick.

[JutifiedGamma]

Joe the Plumber is an idiot. For the longest I gave him the benefit of the doubt as being a concerned American, but he obviously wants to find any reason he can to disagree with Obama. "When will he think $100,000 is too much?" What kind of question is that? Obama made no indication of lowering the income amount and if you do your math, he has no need to. Nothing's good enough for Joe. Give him a buck, he'll complain why he couldn't get two.

[rurick1214]

thank God Obama is ahead 568 to 12 in electoral votes. How FUC%ING DUMB are republicans to make an icon out of this dick-with-ears. He is a tax-cheat G.O.P. sweathog. McCain has the baldheaded hayseed campaigning in Ohio for him today. He,along with the rest of the slobs at McCains rallies should be cheering for Obama. Obama is the guy who wants to make super-rich people like John & Cindy pay slightly higher taxes. Why those dirt-farmers would boo that is a testament to how dense they are.

[mule555]

Maybe those "dirt-farmers" are planning to grow and ultimately make more money. Maybe they aren't dead beat lazy assholes like you that want to be handed everything instead of having to work for it. When they become successful they don't want to be taxed for their success. If you want more money, WORK FOR IT!! Stop waiting on the government to hand it to you. I make 34k a year and I see no need to punish somebody thats more wealthy than i am with higher taxes.

[DJHOTROB]

When McCain ships your 34K a year over seas to pay someone 20K less than you. What are you going to do then? Or better yet, when you're employer sends out a memo and says effective immediately we will no longer be offering benefits because your president who's make "250K" can afford to pay for his benefits. The 34k a year population screw you, go find someone to cry to. Just keep that in mind when you say all people want is a handout. That's not always the case!!

[0101TAZ]

dude is telling a lie-he was not getting ready to buy a thang. he couldn't even afford to buy a good piece of ass with his stupid ass! dude is not even a plumber! joe is an ass ...

[truknkurt]

What people don't realize is that this man will buy a business and gross over 250gs a year, but as a business owner he has a LOT of thing to pay for ie health insurance for employees, equipment and others. When all is said and done, he does not make 250 a year and yet he's still getting taxed as though he is. These taxes could potentially make it difficult for small businesses to grow, thus killing the American Dream Obama has realized. I'm not saying this conclusively but it does make ya think.

[ultor6]

[nelsonele]

McCain is no match for Obama. McCain is incompetent. Sarah Palin is just stupid!

Man, wake the hell up! Obama is leading big in virtually every poll. The three most credible polls read like this:

Obama 52, McCain 42 Obama 53, Mccain 41

Obama 52, McCain 39

The McCain "campaign" has imploded. Sarah Palin has gone ROGUE! She is out for herself.

McCain is Old; erratic; stupid; incoherent...

They conducted a poll in 70 countries. Obama beat John McCain 38% to 17%.

Obama 08

[Vredesbyrderdod]

You might be right about Mccain and Palin, Obama and Biden are just dumb dem niggs that want to always speak to a member of management.

[truknkurt]

I just want to comment on a poll real quick, 70 other countries approve Obama? I'm sorry, we're voting for what needs to be done in our country, that's why only citizens of the U.S. have a valid vote. That statistic is null and void. Of course we need someone with good interactions with the rest of the world, but we're voting for what's best for us, not the rest of the world. We can't fix everything and everyone until we fix ourselves.

[TheJudasAbstract]

Fuck this loser. Joe Nobody is eating up his 15 minutes of fame.

[017237]

I think he'll fit perfect on foxnews....There all full of shit....

[Cameron816]

JTP, your 15 mins. of fame is up. NEXT!! Oh, looky here, now we have Bea Otch the prostitute.

[blessed3606]

I do not understand why people are not looking at the real issue. Who is going to pay for the added tax to companies making over $250.000 a year. WE ARE!!!! All of these companies will raise there prices! And it is not going to help my family out any!!

[tradingtalentscout]

Joe, I'm not been funny, but you dont even make $250,000 so whats your problem ? and yes obama did answer your question, earn more you get a 3% increase, earn less and you get a cut !? can it be any clearer ? at the time you seemed pretty happy with his responses ? but now you say he tip toed around ? please, get back in your box, you've had your 5 minutes of fame ! chin up, GO OBAMA !

[lourdesbum]

Fuck Obama

McCain '08

[TheJudasAbstract]

McCain is for old people. Babyboomers will die soon thank God, and the political landscape can progress.

[lourdesbum]

Obama Will Fuck The United States For The Next Four Years. I Will Vote For The AmeriCAIN Hero!!!

McCain - Palin 'O8

[TheJudasAbstract]

John McCain is a traitor to his ideals. He sold out hardcore to the religious assholes, people he at one time correctly scoffed at. The 2000 era McCain would have been a much better candidate than the guy he has turned into.

[airjoc2004]

get your story straight, Palin is the One will run this country into the ground if anything ever happend to Mccain. Mccain was a hero at one time when he was fighting for our country, ever since he became a senator he nothing but a side kick for GB. you go right ahead vote for whom you belive will be the best canidate to run this country. mean while you need to shut your pie hole and keep opinion to your self. do us all a favor and dont vote btw, Im a republican and will vote for Dem.

[heddyheddnuggs]

you are an idiot.

[tradingtalentscout]

go fuck yourself prick !

[icecreamdose]

The two most accurate polls show this:

GWU /Battleground poll

Obama 49%

McCain 47%

Investor's Business Daily /TIPP poll

Obama 45.7%

McCain 42%

McCain is catching up

[Ng232323]

this is so fucking dumb facts about joe the plumber

He is not a plumber, he is in debt to Ohio for back taxes about 1,200.00 dollars

and last his name is not joe. its Samuel.. this shows how dumb americans are at times. who the fuck is this guy he is a idiot. he dont have a clue just like half the people who go to the voting polls.

obama for president

[tonygillis2007]

He is a plumber, dumbfuck. A plumber is someone who works as one, regardless of who has the license. His name is Samuel JOSEPH Wurzelbacher. I suppose in your alternate universe he is the first person to ever go by their middle name? As for $1200 in back taxes, lots of people are in less than optimal financial shape. I'd bet YOUR personal finances would make for some interesting reading. Also, good job insulting Americans generally, then trying to convince them to vote for your little god!

[jpmahone]

"this shows how dumb americans are at times" ha so true. Admit it, the current economic and social situation in the US heavily favours a democratic win but because of right wing media spin (Fox, RoboCalls etc) and blatant propoganda has had a real effect on voters

[choke1122]

Yea how sad the democrats only have every major newspaper NBC ABC CBS MSNBC CNN PBS NPR. They get no good press.

[funnrun]

ALL OF THEM YOYO !!!!

[ALLPAC85]

he is not a plumber, what your saying is if i work as a doctor im a doctor, wake up he is not a plumber until he goes to 5 years of schooling, 10,000 hours experience, get approved by licensing board to take test and then pass it, see how i owned you without calling you names lol

[icarusfx84]

I don't understand how people forget the basic concept of LOGIC! Let's say this guy says is honest & he wants to buy the business that is going to net $260k to $280k per year. How is someone who cannot afford to pay $1200 in taxes going to afford a business that NET's more than $250k/year? It is more likely he wants to buy the business for that price, that is NOT income. It is a business expense which is tax deductible! Obviously a McCain voter that wanted to 'invent' a question by stating a lie

[CULAVE]

No disrespect intended, but US society seems to be driven by money. For the majority of the world $250,000 is rich.

[CULAVE]

If anyone has seen 'Swing Vote' with Kevin Costner- the similarities are surreal!

[spursguy123]

Joe you are an idiot!!!!!!!!!

[mesauh]

I wouldn't be surprise if the republicans paid this balled as fool to ask Obama that question! Fuck Joe the fake plummer!

[hieroglyph321]

What? Joe ... Obama answered your question when you asked it ... how can you not know where he stands after what he said? ... Or did you just stop listening because the camera's were on you?

Joe the Plumber. Fake.

[123mick000]

what a bullshit guy, you seem to be saying that because you dont know about obama then you think he will tax a lower income bracket and not just a small amount. are you really saying that he will go from 250000 to 100000!. that is being a moron.

[krakajoe]

3 words joe the plumber reacts. don't care

[OLO7]

joe is such a tool.

[detroitdiesel2008]

Joe cannot afford a Tax increase? He can because he does not pay his taxes like everyone else does. He should get a haircut, pay his delinquent tax bill, learn the plumbing trade, and please cover up that Ass crack!

[mamaz1125]

Im a liscense contractor plumber who also worked hard to get were Im at but the more I make the more I know we need to get taxed we need to pay for our debts (natural disasters, public workers etc.)This jerk doesnt make a quarter of what I make. So what the f.... is he complaining for thats what u call a retared. He's never going to make 250k hew always going to stay were he at and just dream. Hes no hard worker hes bum who wanted the publicity. Ask all those hard working plumbers from the UA.

[heyroz27]

Joe the plumber is a Fraud! Planted by the RNC.

[bennyh12345]

Does Joe Hairplug Biden think Joe is a four letter word?

[guywalker29]

"joe" is not that "plumber's" name, it's Sam. Liar is a four letter word.

[bennyh12345]

Obama belonged to a racist church for 20 years. Obama's mentor and pastor of 20 years-Jeremiah Wright- is an anti-American bigot.

[Witchygirrl]

Meet Joe.

Joe is stupid.

[ListenToTrance]

If he didn't want to be on television, then he should have kept his fucking mouth shut

[hochunk62]

Well you just said it, americans have kept their mouth shut for too long and taken all this crap from a dishonest government that looks at us and see`s dollar signs and sheep, and we ust continue to take it......EVERYONE LOVES THE IDEA OF FREEDOM, BUT NO ONE REALLY WANT TO FIGHT FOR IT!!!

BETWEEN YOU AND THE LIBERAL MEDIA YOUR ALL JUST PISSED OFF CAUSE JOE GOT OBAMA TO RAT HIS MARXIST ASS OUT!!!!

[todopor]

He is not a plumber,he owes 1,200 $ in back taxes,he is a fucking disgrace!!!!

[hochunk62]

So what if he owes taxes, what does that have to do with obamas response???? The media knows more about this guy and dug into his background more than they have yet to do to the annointed one with 2 weeks to go till the election, DOESN`T THAT BOTHER YOU???,,,of course that wouldn`t, why would it, then you wouldn`t be able to get your government hand-out!

[guywalker29]

What bothers me is the guy falsely represented himself. That is what "the bad guys" do. His name is not "joe", it's Sam. He had absolutely no intention of buying any business at $250,000 or twenty five. Yes, the guy is struggling and he doesn't like Democrats but there is no reason for him to misrepresent himself. Thats what bothers me. U.S. citizens are disgusted with politicians misrepresenting themselves, so why on Earth would "joe" do it too? That bothers me.

[hochunk62]

now come on guywalker29, your buying into all the liberal talking points....all you have to do is google his name, his middle name is joe....and yes he does owe some back taxes, and how do you know he doesnt intend to buy the business that he works for....and by the way, he doesn`t have to have a license to be a plumber in ohio, only the company that he works for! This man has stood up for all americans more than our politicians have! He got the messiah to speak of his true intentions!!!!

[johnedwards1968]

you're wrong dude. You do have to have a plumber's license in Ohio. Most tradesman are licensed in Ohio. Joe is considered a laborer, not a plumber.

[blackphoenix123]

obama is gonna be helping you fool, your middle class but hes primarily focing on ppl who can more than pay off taxes

[airjor1]

He should be called, "Joe the Redneck."

[shilohwillcome]

notice the difference between the questions from Cnbc and Fox? Cnbc, "so where did you meet them" Fox, "so what do you think of their plans?" maybe because Cnbc knows that joe disagrees with Obama?

Joe the Plumber just destroyed whatever hope all you liberals thought he had for the White House. Now go cry. HAHA! Not even ACORN can help you now!!!

[makechange1234]

fortunately you are completely incorrect. We are still well ahead in the polls, and when Joe the plumber was asked whether he fell into the category of raised taxes, he tip toed around his answer just like the politicians he was ripping on. Two more weeks and you will eat your words.

[jh1keener]

Obama doesn't understand basic economics. Big buisness doesn't pay taxes, they pass down taxes to thier employees and customers, via lesss jobs/raises or higher prices.

I'm very scared about this election, i am a registered Dem. and I remembered what jimmy cartewr did to this country and this feels way too much like what happend in the 70's

[megafuze08]

I thought his answer was very thorough, as well. Joe Plumbo is obviously pro-McCain, no matter if he liked or disliked the answer Obama gave. But, he shouldn't have claimed that Obama's answer was incomplete, because that's simply not true, and I'm sure USA agrees. Regardless of who you're voting for, Obama's answer was to-the-point, whether you agree with his plan or not.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

Hold on, there. Tsk Tsk making an assumption that he's pro-McCain just because he didn't agree with what Obama had to say. He could be someone such as myself who would prefer neither of the two. He clearly stated "Whether you like his plan or not, at least you know where McCain stands." That's not necessarily "pro-McCain." And Obama DID tap-dance around his question. Unfortunately, he didn't do it well enough and his socialist views were revealed again. It's too bad. He's a nice guy.

Well said... What is fair is the ppl should get off their butt and work and not depended on the government for more free handouts (more incentives not to work)

[OLO7]

how did obama not answer the question? if you earn more than 250k, the excess amount will be taxed.

[holaguesswho69]

What? just because you don't like his answer he is pro Mccain or racist right? have a nice of stfu plz... Just like all the medias are not pro Nobama right ;-)

[hochunk62]

It sure was to the point, WEALTH DISTRIBUTION!!!! ENJOY YOUR WELFARE CHECK!!!!

[Ragnorckgorgonash]

This guy is a sad example of McCains backers, he has aspirations that he hasn't reached yet and doesn't want anything that will help him get there but cost him if he is successful.

McCain points out all the agendas we as a people need to satisfy, and then clearly states that we shouldnt have to pay for it, which in my world means putting effort towards accomplishment.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

The problem as far as I can see it is not that he doesn't "want anything that will help him get there but cost him if he is successful." Joe was very accurate in pointing out that "taxing someone and giving someone else that money" is a socialist viewpoint. Last time I checked my absentee ballot, it said Democrat under Obama's name. Not Socialist Party. I agree that we need to fix what is wrong with the government; however, a socialist shift is NOT going to do that.

[Ragnorckgorgonash]

We don't need pure socialism, but look at our current situation "the bail out".

I, 'the rich', sell homes to anyone that will sign for them, I bundle the notes into securities, since there value is insured through Fannie or Freddie, and I unload the risk at no cost to me, and plenty of cost to America at large, seems like reverse socialism to me.

We are faced with embracing some form of socialism or creating a new dichotomy of an insured society

[JackieEco]

OK. Now who is Joe 6-Pack? ; )

[FrankCastlez]

Until now. Today, on the threshold of the presidency, Obama concedes the odiousness of these associations, which is why he has severed them. But for the years in which he sat in Wright's pews and shared common purpose on boards with Ayers, Obama considered them a legitimate, indeed unremarkable, part of social discourse.

Do you?

[condad1]

Joe

You got a VERY direct answer giving a alot of detail. in fact, when you tried to interrupt him, he stopped you to continue explaining exactly how it would work and the rationale behind it. OVer 5 minutes of clear explanation. The problem is, Joe, you didn't get the answer you wanted. Where was the tap dance?

[tav168]

LOL obviously condad1 you were not paying attention. Obama wants Socialism and you are too blind to see it,I hope that you stay home on Election day.

[bantekiatgmaildotcom]

The scary part is that people such as himself will NOT stay home on Election day and we'll all be eating in bread-lines before too long. lol

[hochunk62]

The tap dance is who gives obama the right to tell someone how much of his hard earned money he can keep, if i walked up to you on the street and stuck my hand in your wallet and took what I wanted, would you go along with that, or would that be theft? What obama and the government is doing now is the same damn thing! Just wait, if obama gets in office, (and he already told you people he`s going to raise all taxes)if its going to be that easy to get a handout, watch how many people get in line!

[johnedwards1968]

taxes aren't theft. That's just silly. Most people want at least some government services, and someones got to pay for them. You can't keep going on this Republican "freeride" forever. Yes, pass the debt to your children, because at least then you're stealing from family.
