Joe “The Plumber” Talks With Obama
Posted on 17. Oct, 2008 by dimaks in News
So who is Joe The Plumber? Joe The Plumber is an ordinary tradesman who has worked 12-hour shifts for years and is now intending to acquire his own plumbing business.
Joe Wurzelbacher aka Joe The Plumber is from Toledo, Ohio who became an instant star during the last and final debate between US Presidentiables Barack Obama and John McCain. Joe The Plumber was mentioned during the debate more than a dozen times, apparently sparked by Sen. McCain, citing the occasion when Mr. Wurzelbacher pointed out to Sen. Obama about his plan of buying his own small plumbing business, which would pull his earnings to more than $250,000 whereby qualifying him as a subject of Obama’s plan to tax the wealthy.
McCain argued that Joe The Plumber did not want to vote for Obama because he saw that he would be taxed so high.
Sen. Obama then answered Joe The Plumber that, it is not that he (Obama) wants to punish his (Joe’s) success but rather make sure that everybody who is behind him (Joe) got a chance to success too and that spreading his wealth to everybody is good. To which, Joe The Plumber remarked that the senator looks like doing a Robin Hood act – “stole from greedy rich people and redistributed it to the peasants”, and it’s a socialist act.
While Joe The Plumber neither chose McCain (as of yet) as his candidate, he urged the American people to know more about the issues governing their elections and what are ahead of them before voting. He pointed out that what he has just witnessed so far is quiet away from what he knows of an American Dream.
Here is a segment of the video coverage during the 3rd presidential debate between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain, where Joe The Plumber subject was highlighted.

Obama wins on the Final Debate. He is very direct to the point and interesting to watch. He’ll win I suppose.
