Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Mitt Romney is no more qualified than a plumber to be president of the United States.
Repeating the White Houses latest line of attack, Biden told a Democratic audience in New Hampshire that Romneys past as a business leader at Bain Capital is fair game for criticism. Obama and his surrogates have accused Romney of putting profits ahead of the workers at the companies his venture-capital firm invested in.
When they succeed and the company succeeds, they make money, Biden said. When the company they got involved with fails, they make money.
A president, Biden said, has to worry more about workers and what happens to them. Obama has made the same argument when asked about his campaigns attacks on Romneys business history.
Your job as president is to promote the common good. That doesnt mean the private-equity guys are bad. Theyre not, Biden said. But that no more qualifies you to be president than to be a plumber.
Republicans, for their part, say they are happy to compare Romneys career as a businessman to Obamas economic record as president.

Using the same metaphorical style: Barrrack is that slacker punk spawn that won’t help around the house, can’t get a job, screws up the place and doesn’t want to move out.

That reminds me, wasn’t Joe the Plumber running for Congress? What happened to him? Did he get the nomination?

I would rather have a plumber be President of the United States than a Socialist-Communist-Muslim-Kenyan.............

Yeah, Biden? And when you all wreck the country, you still get paid, kick backs and lavish trips on tax payers money.

As opposed to the welfare queens agitator from Chicago, who spent most of his political life agitating the welfare queens of Chicago, did nothing in his entire life to qualify for a dog catcher let alone President of the United States, who knows nothing about any important subject related to governing the country, and who by any measure is the most incompetent and the worst President in the history of the Republic.

Joe the Plumber (Samuel Wurzelbacher) won the primary and will be against Marcy Kaptur (who beat Dennis Kucinich in the primary) in Ohio's 9th district.

I’ve talked to many Obamabots who launch into a tirade about Romney’s Bain Capital association. I just calmly ask them what companies Obama has run, and what is his background in the private business sector. As always, it comes down to “Republicans are rich, white, and racist.”

At least the typical plumber knows something about things and actually works for a living!! And usually has to be hard-working to boot. Unlike that maggot Hussein, who knows just enough to read his script from his Communist handlers, and has never had a real job in his life.

Joe Biden is unqualified to read cue cards.
