Obama: McCain is fighting for Joe the CEO

Obama in Virginia, 10/22/08.

Obama: And by the way, don't be fooled -- look, I had a nice conversation the other day with Joe the plumber. [laughter] Joe, Joe's cool. Joe's cool. I got no problem with Joe. All I want to do is give Joe a tax cut. [laughter] But let's be clear who Senator McCain's fighting for. He's not fighting for Joe the plumber. He's fighting for Joe the hedge fund manager. [cheers and applause] John McCain likes to talk about Joe the plumber, but he's in cahoots with Joe the CEO. [applause] So don't be fooled. Don't let them hoodwink you. If you make less than a quarter of a million dollar as year, which includes 98% of small business owners, you won't see your taxes increase one single dime -- not your payroll taxes, not your income taxes, not your capital gains taxes, nothing. That's my commitment to you.

Not one single dime? does that mean he's going to veto the health care bill? I'd hate to think he's not telling the truth here.

Liar liar liar. Only the democrat fools believed this guy.

How many CEO's has OB bailed out? How many lobbyists has he hired into his administration.

I Had To Come See This Clip And Its So Funny And True This Had To Be A Nut Crushing Blow To Mccain And For You Dumb Fucks How Can You Be A Small Buisness And Survive When People At The Bottom Dont Have Money To Spend?

You're a fucking idiot. He's half white and the sick grandma he visited in Hawaii is white - so I guess he hates his mom, grandma and the 50% of him that is white. Good argument. Me thinks your the racist buddy. Keep eating that Republican horse shit you call facts and take it back to the GOP camp.

tdavisjr -

Joe the Plumber wants to be a small business owner, not a CEO. To McCain's embarassment, Joe will get more of a tax cut under Obama!

Had we made the middle class a priority, Joe might have the money he needs right now to buy the small business. Further, every analysis shows that IF Joe was the owner his taxes would stay the same or go down under Obama.

Now is not the time to give additional tax cuts to the CEOs and the Exxon Mobils. Enough of crazy Bush-McCain economics.

you're a moron, hows $4.18 a gallon doing for plumbers? Hows most people having less money and houses foreclosing doing on the plumbing business. On the end that puts the food in people's mouths..its hurting.

People act like owners of small businesses are doing well when the economy is stagnant or in a recession and people are too broke to buy or fix things.

I don't know what world u live in. I am the boss, I want people to not have to choose between food & gas. bad 4 business

[daderone]

uhm actually Obama will keep the companies here because you see you need to have a flourishing economy from the bottom up, you can give all the tax breaks you want to the top 1% of income earners...eventually they'll go bankrupt and/or leave if people continue to be bled by the fallacies of flawed conservative invisible hand economics.

Meaning my friend, owner of a famous small local restaurant that has been very popular is about to go under b/c most people don't have money 2 eat out.
