At the very least, this just perfectly illustrates how much Obama was REALLY listening to Joe, and what’s more is how little he REALLY respects this man by belittling him.
Obama: “How many plumbers do you know that make 1/4 mil a yearr”???
Translation: McCain is fighting for lying businessmen... err... plumbers.... without a licence... who owe back taxes... and may be cheating... and uh... where’s my teleprompter?
That would be revenues -- okay revenues for a company.
Revenues do not count expenses, therefore that's not his taxable income.
Obama missed a real opportunity and has now compounded his error.
Don't anybody tell him....
I recently was talking to an Obama supporter and I made the point that Obama was really thin skinned, that he's in the lead and he should laugh off some things bit he just can't do it. Here is a great example. Obama said something stupid, he should simply say "That was a a poor choice of words, what I meant was..." and try to change the story. Instead, he attacks the plumber, a guy he walked up to (it wasnt a rally, apparantly Joe was playing football outside with his son and Obama just walked up to him unannounced, presumably looking for photo ops).
Thin skinned, totally unable to say "I made a mistake", and has no regard for the little people. That's what I want in a President. Uh huh.
