Howard Wolfson was on FOX and he spewed these talking points. Joe owes back taxes, his name isn't really Joe and he doesn't have a plumbing license.
Ok for the tax part, Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama’s campaign, has tax liens. So do his companies.

As for his name, it's Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. So he can't go by Joe? Barack Hussein Obama went by the name Barry Soetoro and Barry Obama for years. Many people are known by a shortened version of their name or go by their middle name. Obama asked the guys name and he gave him the name he went by. He wasn't filling out a fn' loan application. And finally the license part. Give me a break the guy he works for has one.
Maybe his dad was also named Samuel, so little Samuel was called by his middle name - a very common thing to do. No big deal. Barack “Barry” Hussein Obama should know that. Of course, Barry wouldn’t choose to go by HIS middle name, at least not in public.
I am here known by my first name and some know me as my middle name. I heard that you don’t need a license to plumb in Ohio!!
There is lot of crazy stuff going around out there. There was one rumor floating around that Joe was related some how to Charles Keating.
