[Joseph "Joe the Plumber"] Wurzelbacher Laughs at Obama Speech (May run for Congress)
WNBC-TV / The Politico ^ | February 25, 2009 | Patrick Gavin

Posted on 02/25/2009 8:49:23 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

In town to promote his new book, "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream", Samuel J. Wurzelbacher — aka "Joe the Plumber" — stopped by Americans for Tax Reform Wednesday to review President Barack Obama's Tuesday address before Congress and offer his own thoughts on American politics and current events.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Wurzelbacher, who campaigned alongside Sen. John McCain during the 2008 campaign, did not have many nice things to say about Obama's speech and stimulus proposal.

"I believe he's taking America down the wrong path," Wurzelbacher told POLITICO. "So far every step he's taken I pretty much disagree with." Wurzelbacher has been pondering a run for Congress and said, "If I became a congressman I would literally bang people's heads together and probably get in a lot of trouble."

And, for those of you interested in plumbing, Wurzelbacher has some good pointers for you.

One thing is for sure: he looked Obama straight in the eye and was not intimidated.

Funny how a true man of character can stare down a phony and win every time isn't it?

CHARACTER COUNTS

There was a time when an ordinary citizen, ordinary joe challenging politicians was praised. But not when you challenge Octobama.

One other thing is for sure: The Media has circulated enough stories about his contracting business, his taxes, and his comments, that The Sheep think he’s a plant.

Joe the Plumber got Palin’ed.

"If I became a congressman I would literally bang people's heads together and probably get in a lot of trouble."

Joe, no one will pay attention to you. This is not the age of bipartisanship. If and when the GOP regains the House, then you will be relevent assuming you win a seat. The way Pelosi runs the House right now, in spite of her promises before she became Speaker, means that republicans will be ignored and powerless as long as the Dems are in control. So much for draining the swamp and other campaign promises.

Your post makes no sense and neither does your ID. What was your old ID?

Palin’ed? Palin will do great things to come in politics and probably the White House and Joe the Plumber would be better than most Congressmen and better than all the Democrats. Only the ignorant think Palin is damaged goods. And those same people that think Palin is damaged now, never liked her to begin with.

Then you have never read my posts. Your implication is noted.

If you were even trying to convince me to support Palin, then calling me ignorant is not the way to motivate me to agree with you. It is you and others like you who are ignorant.
