Biden now has joined the frenzy to cut down Joe the plumber.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14632.html

Obama has said, "How many plumbers do you know that make over $250,000?" Brilliant.

Biden and Obama might want to check with the small business association to learn what a small business is. Plumbing companies making up to $14 million are small businesses. But according to Biden and Obama there are no plumbing companies making over $250,000 and 98% of all small businesses make under $250,000.

Why do Biden and Obama think tearing down Joe the plumber somehow lifts them up? Imagine how many Joe the plumbers there are out there that find the way he is being treated by Biden and Obama offensive. Keep up your arrogance Biden and Obama, your true character is showing.

Well....Even though I saw the video of his response, it was more interesting reading what he had to say (where one can digest the information at leisure). To me, Obama wasn't thrown at all by what he was asked and treated "Joe" and his question with the utmost respect. He took the time to patiently explain his tax plan and

I'm REALLY curious to know when this has happened because I haven't seen or read it. If you can provide me with proof that Obama and Joe Biden have talked negatively about Joe the Plumber, I will happily concede the point.

I totally agree with you. I myself was curious to know how someone in that situation (or who was aspiring towards that goal) would be affected by Obama's plan. As for the rest of it, I think Obama DID answer the question quite well. He did so respectfully and patiently. It is also perfectly legitimate to want some clarification about what Obama meant when he said "spread the wealth around".

<<Completely irrelevant, doesn't make what Biden and Obama are doing okay. >>


Please show me what they are doing that is not OK.

That is how this whole race has been run by Obama and his supporters.

Obama can't defend his tax plan so he attacks the person.


Obama has not attacked "the person."

You do realize that you are using a very biased, paid for by McCain/Palin, site as if it were objective don't you? Might as well allow the left to quote Daily Kos or Huffington Post as objective sources. Can you find an OBJECTIVE site to back up your assertions? Because otherwise there isn't much point to reading the post.
