Joe Soptic? Meet the Obama Bus
Townhall.com ^ | August 9, 2012 | Jeff Carter

Posted on 08/10/2012 8:29:28 AM PDT by Kaslin

Joe Soptic thought he was doing good by Obama. He thought, “I support the candidate and I am flattered they want me to do an advertisement for him.” Joe, I know what the operatives told you. They told you that you were going to put Obama over the top. They said, “Your story will determine the outcome of the election.” They called you, they told you they’d cover for you. They said they’d put you on television in front of a friendly anchor and make you look great. You might have even had a short chat with people you looked up to, like David Plouffe or David Axelrod. They reassured you that it would go great. You were going to be a hero.

The dominoes were lined up. All the bloggers and journolists were alerted. This was going to be your magic moment.

That all stopped as soon as everyone fact checked the ad.

Joe, I feel for you. Looking back on it, you might have thought, “The ad wasn’t shot that way”. It may have been edited. Once you told your story and the film was in the can, you lost all control. Now, you have to face everyone. You will relive your beloved wife’s death over and over again. The right wing and left wing media scrutiny will be awful. Paparazzi looking at your private life. It sucks. No ordinary citizen should have to go through what Joe is going through now. My hope is that they will just leave you alone.

My gut tells me that Joe Soptic is just like you and me. Ordinary. Provided a middle class life for his family and had a marriage end tragically when his wife got cancer. I don’t care about his politics even though we probably don’t agree. I bet Joe would be a great neighbor and a nice guy to have a beer with, watch a game with. Except Joe got personally played by Obama.

At least when a candidate screws up, like Dukakis in his tank, he does it to himself. Joe is a pawn in the grand scheme. He was manipulated. He’s just a cog in a machine and now he is going to get run over.

This is how the elite big government types treat the middle class. They are just there to be used and discarded. Now that the ad has blown up in Obama’s face, watch the campaign throw old Joe under the bus. They will run him over. That’s what happens when the middle class puts its faith in big government instead of in their neighbors and themselves. They become discards.

Joe will always be “that guy” now. He lives in infamy on YouTube. Years from now political scientists will do case studies about Joe. If Obama loses the election, Joe might get the blame. You know Obama would never blame himself for losing.

How low can the Obama campaign go? Wait until they get done with Joe. You will see how low they can go. Because its not the welfare of the people big government types care about. They don’t really care about me and you. They don’t care about Joe. Lip service is paid, but it’s only to get a vote. The only true worry they have is their control over the levers of power, and the pocketbooks of their friends.

For the first time in his live, Joe Soptic doesn’t have a wife or a union boss to help him get dressed in the morning.

I want to know how much lying about his deceased wife was worth to Old Joe.

$100,000? $500,000?

I hope he at least held out for enough to make the crap that is going to be associated with him forever, worth it.

I wonder how Joe explains to his current wife, former High school girlfriend his obsession with his old wife. I also notice Joe always seems to forget to mention the pension he gets from GST or the buyout they offered. He started this spiel back in beginning of the year for Reuters news service. It is also just a fluke that he was one of the employees interviewed in 2001 by the Kansas City Star about the plant closing.

Same here. He had opportunities to fix his situation and he didn't take them. Instead he chose to blame Romney and Bain for his troubles. It backfired. No tears shed for Soptic.

A heavy dose of anti-Soptic is called for in this case.

re: My hope is that they will just leave you alone.)))

LOL! I stopped reading. Soptic is clearly an attention whore and is getting more business than he cared for.

What nonsense. He's a disgrace. What evidence any wife was "beloved?" Keep looking, that's a lie, too.

Let him be continually confronted for his folly. Let him have to hide in shame.

How much was he paid to spin this Munchausen tale?

POOR JOE SOPTIC VISITS OBAMA HQ FOR HELP:

RECEPTIONIST: “Yes sir, can I help you with something”

POOR JOE: “ Yes, since I appeared in Obama’s ad, I am being harassed everyday because of it and I was promised they would stand by me if I had any problems”

RECEPTIONIST: “ What your full name sir”?

POOR JOE: “ Soptic...Joe Soptic”

RECEPTIONIST: “ OK, Mr. Septic let me do a computer check for.....”

POOR JOE: “SOPTIC!!!”

RECEPTIONIST: “What did you just call me”?

POOR JOE: “ I didn’t call you nothing...my last name is Soptic not Septic”

RECEPTIONIST: “ Oh.. Ok but just calm down and let me do the computer check........Hmmmmm, I’m sorry Mr. Slipnik, we don’t seem to have any record of you appearing in any ad’s for President Obama”

POOR JOE: “WHAT???...The ad is all over the place, don’t you even recognize me? Wait...did you call me Slipnik...my name is SOPTIC, SOPTIC!!!” and I am a loyal union member and lied my ass off to help this president”

RECEPTIONIST: “ OK sir, you need to calm down right now...I’ll do just one more search for you, I’ll try our union base names to see if you show up there...that was Bob Soptic right?

POOR JOE: “NO!!!...it’s Joe... Joe SLOPNIK...damn it I mean Soptic”

RECEPTIONIST: “Sir, you seem a little confused...just take a breath and settle down and I’ll see if I can find your name in our union data base OK? Let’s see you said Jo Jo Soptic right”?
(checking...checking)....Ooooooooo, sorry Jo Jo, there’s no Jo Jo Soptic or any one with the last name Soptic on the list”

POOR JOE: (crying) “I must be going crazy, why are you doing this to me...WHY ???....WHY????

RECEPTIONIST: “ There....there Mr. Sputnik...we aren’t doing anything to you...just go home get some rest, take your med’s and everything will be just fine in the morning. Oh, and don’t forget to vote for Obama OK”?

Do you mean Soptic has become Septic? Say ‘tisn’t so. I thought sure he was in the tank for Obama but it surely is the septic tank.

This scumbag traded on his dead wife’s memory, either for a little fame or out of blind hatred.

That puts him on the same level as Cindy Sheehan.

Just read my post you reference and noticed many letters I missed while typing, hopefully you could understand what I was getting at.

Whoa! I heard about the buy out, but not the pension. This lying weasel is crying the blues about not having insurance and he has a pension!

She had insurance, he had a pension - wtf did they wait so long to go to a doctor? How can he complain of no insurance when you can buy insurance on the internet - and as far as I know, she didn’t have any pre-existing conditions that would have made that difficult. If the insurance was such a big deal, why didn’t he go back to work?

I’m going to create a new mantra to tell myself when these ba$tids come on TV: ‘All leftists lie and they lie all the time.’
