Go to major Japanese national TV network website link HERE. This was seen by millions of people today in Japan.
Under Joe's photo is an orange box with an arrow. Hit that and enjoy. About two minutes long.
This is clip explaining to the Japanese just exactly who this new fellow "Joe The Plumber" is storming America and the Presidential Election. It gave a great background, and great conclusion.
Unfortunately, they cut off Obama's "spread the wealth" comment back to Joe, but they also had a short follow clip of an interview with Joe at the end, and made up for it. The reporter says it was a situation of an American blue collar man challenging power and higher taxes.
Subtitled in Japanese, report with Japanese voice over, but McCain/Obama/Joe comments all in English. He is referred to a number of times in the text as "Joe The Plumber" in Japanese. ENJOY. GOOD FRIDAY NIGHT FUN.

「配管工のジョー」 = "Haikanko no Joe"
What is instructive is that the segment ends in Japanese with the subtitle: "Looks Like This Joe Is The So-Called "OCTOBER SURPRISE"
The initial screen shot above, says "A New HERO in The US Presidential Race. And his name is???"
I kid you not, all.

I was talking to my Japanese daughter-in-law today about this and asked if she was seeing in her Japanese news and talks with her family. She laughed and said, Yes, he is very popular there and they are calling him “Big Joe”. They are loving it.

In the Obamatons' rage to destroy Joe the Plumber they have found unpaid traffic tickets--not unlike the stack of $375 in unpaid tickets Obama had to settle in January of last year.
Joe is a phenomenon--able to extract the essence of Obama despite his practiced veneer.
Spread the wealth around.
From your report--this phenomenon is spreading around the world.
Thank you.

Well, if good old Joe wants to tour Tokyo, I'll volunteer as his local agent and interpreter (well, maybe "volunteer" might not be the exact word) and after three days of Narita Airport arrival mob scene, mass rallies, TV interviews, newspaper/magazine gigs, Japanese Plumbers Association greeting, etc., and what not, he will go back to the USA with pockets stuffed with high-value YEN enough to buy 10 plumbing companies! /half joking
....Of course, with a President Obama he would see all that hard earned cash go out the door to pay food stamps for some ex-con ACORN canvasser in Nevada.
/sarc / NOT joking!

Folks checking this thread later might unfortunately miss the clip; these are generally up and at these TV websites in Japan for about 1/2 a day......

This just cracks me up. McCain spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to take Obama down to no avail. And some Joe Blow Plumber waltzes out to his driveway on the spur of the moment, and does it for free.
Obama is going to be sitting in a corner sucking his thumb by the middle of next week.
