Here is some "pre-game" humor....

Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama's house, which is located in a very nice neighborhood where it's obvious that all the residents make well over $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it's an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes.

Obama asks Joe how much it will cost. Joe immediately says, "$9,500."

"$9,500?" Obama asks, stunned. "But you said it's an easy repair!"

"Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free," explains Joe. "It's always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It's known as 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.' Surprised you haven't heard of it, senator."

In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there's no way he's paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Joe leaves. Obama spends the next hour flipping through the phone book looking for another plumber, but he finds that all other plumbing businesses listed have gone out of business. Not wanting to pay Joe's price, Obama does nothing. The leak under Obama's sink goes without repair for the next several days. A week later the leak is so bad that Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every hour, and there's a risk that the room will flood, so Obama calls Joe and pleads with him to return. Joe goes back to Obama's house, looks at the leaky pipe, and says "Let's see – this will cost you about $21,000."

"A few days ago you told me it would cost $9,500!" Obama quickly fires back.

Joe explains the reason for the dramatic increase. "Well, because of the 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act,' a lot of rich people are learning how to fix their own plumbing, so there are fewer of you paying for all the free plumbing I'm doing for the people who make less than $250,000. As a result, the rate I have to charge my wealthy paying customers rises every day. "Not only that, but for some reason the demand for plumbing work from the group of people who get it for free has skyrocketed, and there's a long waiting list of those who need repairs. This has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business, and they're not being replaced – nobody is going into the plumbing business because they know they won't make any money. I'm hurting now too – all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won't pay their fair share."

Obama tries to straighten out the plumber: "Of course you're hurting, Joe! Don't you get it? If all the rich people learn how to fix their own plumbing and you refuse to charge the poorer people for your services, you'll be broke, and then what will you do?"

Joe immediately replies, "Run for president, I guess."

I just don’t think I can stomach it. I will watch Bill O’Reilly while reading this thread. If Oprah was involved, I cannot imagine how syrupy-sappy it’s going to be. Blech!

Holy Crap! Al Jazeera’s website is less biased than CNNs.

If FOX ever goes down, I guess we can get our news from them.

God is bigger than the boogie man...lalalala(singing to veggie tales song)

[mnehring]

From the previews I’ve seen, this will be more syrupy than the bottom of a molasses bottle.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I’m in the watch “Pushing Daisies” crowd. Let ABC get the ratings for a good decision.

Anyone know if the Obamamercial is on CSPAN?

[RoseofTexas]

Heavenly Father may all the words that will be coming out of this communist anti-American worm be brought down by the spirit of the Tower of Babel, like you did in the old testament! Those who hear it will not receive it and will turn away from Ozero lying tongue! Let the blinders be removed so that the folks can see this man for who he really is! Let his tongue stumble! In Jesus name AMEN!

[mnehring]

Anyone watching Luntz’s undecideds on Fox.. that group makes me want to throw things.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Just answered my own question. It doesn’t appear to be carried on CSPAN.

[mnehring]

Here we go. Cracking open a new bottle of wine for this.
