The Evil That Is Joe the Plumber
Commentary Magazine ^ | October 17, 2008 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 10/17/2008 11:56:36 AM PDT by Jbny

The plot could not be more nefarious. In 2008, Barack Obama decides to go ring doorbells in Toledo, Ohio. A decade earlier, anticipating just such an event, the notorious S&L swindler Charles Keating instructs his son-in-law to move his son-in-law’s cousin, a man named Samuel, into the path of Barack Obama’s eventual walking tour. He further instructs Samuel to a) pretend he is a plumber even though he doesn’t have a license and b) to call himself “Joe” rather than “Sam,” since “Joe the Plumber” sounds better in a nationally televised debate than “Sam the Plumber.” Then, when Obama shows up, Sam aka Joe is to ask Obama about Obama’s tax plan, and focus his eyes on Obama, thereby telepathically forcing the Illinois Senator to say he wants to “spread the wealth around.”

LOL!! That would have been great.
I don’t think my nephew would have been able to hear “Bob the Builder” in a 48-hour news cycle without climbing the walls - he LOVES him.

You might want to do a little reading up on Brinkley before you go off the handle.
