Meet "Barack The Plumber" (Royal Flush On Hold)
Boston Herald ^ | August 29, 2012 | Michael Graham

Dear Better Business Bureau:

I’m writing about a plumber I hired in 2008 to fix my pipes. The name of his business is Barack H. Obama & Co.

Despite many assurances on Mr. Obama’s part, and despite spending far beyond what I wanted on the project, my toilets are still full of . . . well, they’re not fixed. And now I’m told there’s some question as to whether I can fire him.

I want to say, right up front, that Mr. Obama inherited a real mess in my house. The plumbing was in worse shape than it had been since, gosh, the late ’70s. Maybe since the 1930s. So I didn’t have any wild expectations that Obama & Co. would have the sinks unclogged and the pipes flowing overnight.

I also want to say that Mr. Obama seemed like a very nice man at the time. I even met his family — beautiful! Sometimes when he talked about his job, it sounded like poetry.

And I won’t deny that, living in a mostly white community, I was pleased to have the chance to hire an African-American to work in my home. But then things started to go, well, wrong.

To start with, I was shocked by the huge price of Mr. Obama’s bid to “stimulate” (he used that word a lot) the plumbing system to get it flowing again. I agreed to spend the money, however, after Obama & Co. guaranteed me that the toilets in the upstairs bathrooms would never overflow.

And you know what, Mr. BBB Man? Well my upstairs toilets have been overflowing for 42 straight months! His repairs still aren’t working!

So I complained to Mr. Obama. He blamed the previous plumber, said the last guy...

That’s because he tried to unclog the toilet by flushing your money down into it.

I don't know - I like this one:

One of the most important things you left out Michael. Obama Plumbing had never done any real plumbing before you hired them. In fact none of the people who work for Obama Plumbing has ever done any real plumbing. If you remember you tried to find out about who you were hiring, but when you went looking for background information there was very little.

I liked that one, too.

I should have said that the negative responses are SO lame.

It’s like they’re sputtering mad but don’t quite know what to say.

He should have used McCain & Palin PLUMBERS. The mcCain is not a very good plumber, but if you got Palin< your pipes would be clog free.

Unfortunately, McCain & Palin is not in business, they sold their assets to Romney-Ryan. Both are great Plumbers, with Ryan better, thou. I'll recommend them.
