Kevin Heron, you get an F.

Joe was not posited as an expert in any field...

See, Obama citing the US Chamber of Commerce (and they don’t often support Democrats!)

Exactly. Young Mr. Heron was obviously not paying attention in Critical Thinking class. Joe the Plumber was never meant to be an “expert,” but rather a plain old vanilla example of a real, honest-to-goodness, working American who understands that Obama wants to take his money and give it to somebody else. McCain’s only failure on this issue was not saying the rest of the truth: “Obama wants to spread your hard-earned wealth around by giving it to those who already pay no taxes. He proposes to create a brand new and mammoth welfare system funded by you, Joe.”

If Joe isn't qualified to say how Obama's tax proposal would affect his personal situation and business plans, who is?
