NBC ^ | 10/16/08 | NBC

TOLEDO, Ohio - “Joe the plumber,” the new face of middle-class America after Sen. John McCain made him famous in Wednesday night’s presidential debate, isn’t technically a plumber, and he probably wouldn’t be adversely affected by Sen. Barack Obama’s tax plan.

By the way, McCain didn’t make him famous, Obama’s answer to him made him famous.

[posting w/o reading the PMSNBC article ...]

OK, why is he ‘technically not a plumber’? And who affixed that moniker to him ANYWAY?

So Obama doesn’t know what his own plan will cover?

He said that he would share joe’s wealth.

Si I guess if GE raised the rent at NBC to $10 million a month, it wouldn’t bother anyone there...

SPREAD THE WEALTH

That phrase, NBC, is what the whole debate is about. Fuss at the details all you like. Hussein is about socialism. Period.

Understand what’s happening here. The Obamites desperately want to move this thing off Obama’s slip up about spreading the wealth. That’s the MSM’s mission right now.

Did Joe ever claim to be a plumber or did the MSM decide to call him one when reporting the initial story? I’ve never heard the guy say, “I’m a plumber.” I did hear him say he wanted to buy a plumbing company.

Exactly. Notice how the gasbag reporter left out the Spread The Wealth crap. Can’t let that get out.

OMG, the politics of personal destruction kick in.

“records from his divorce show that Wurzelbacher made $40,000 in 2006. “

These people DISGUST ME. They can’t look an inch into 0BAMA’s Ayers connections or the authenticity of his birth certificate or ACORN’s misdeeds, but they can peruse this guy’s private life and he ain’t even the story. 0BAMA’s ANSWER is the story.

A few facts about Joe may be found here:

Most importantly: “Reports in the mainstream media appear claiming that he is unlicensed (even though he doesn’t need one as an employee of a business or as a contractor working on a residence)”
