The Evil That Is Joe the Plumber
Commentary Magazine ^ | October 17, 2008 | John Podhoretz

Posted on 10/17/2008 11:56:36 AM PDT by Jbny

The plot could not be more nefarious. In 2008, Barack Obama decides to go ring doorbells in Toledo, Ohio. A decade earlier, anticipating just such an event, the notorious S&L swindler Charles Keating instructs his son-in-law to move his son-in-law’s cousin, a man named Samuel, into the path of Barack Obama’s eventual walking tour. He further instructs Samuel to a) pretend he is a plumber even though he doesn’t have a license and b) to call himself “Joe” rather than “Sam,” since “Joe the Plumber” sounds better in a nationally televised debate than “Sam the Plumber.” Then, when Obama shows up, Sam aka Joe is to ask Obama about Obama’s tax plan, and focus his eyes on Obama, thereby telepathically forcing the Illinois Senator to say he wants to “spread the wealth around.”

There’s more evidence (coincidences?) that Jesus is the Messiah
than there is that Joe the Plumber could be a Rovian plant.

It’s easy, don’t you know that Karl Rove has The Time Machine in the garage right next to The Weather Machine?

AND... I think Obama’s accent is fake.
Listen to his 2004 convention speech.

There's more evidence that the sun orbits a flat earth than there is that Joetheplumber is a Rovian plant.

Never underestimate the rantings of a tinfoil-hat wearing Obamatron. :)

If our Sarah can overcome the massive acorn fraud, I am convinced the elites will be quaking in their boots with the changes and "tossing out the garbage" she will do...with a smile on her face!

Yes, the marxist elites are scared and will do ANYTHING to stop real Americans from taking back the power. Even SCOTUS seems to be helping the marxists in Ohio.

Of course it’s fake, everything is fake with Obama. I think he studied Walter Concrite and David Brinkley (with a little touch of JFK thrown in for good measure).

Rush played a clip of Obama making snide remarks about Joe the Plumber . . “uh, uh, uh, uh, how many, uh, guys you know making $250,000 as plumbers . . uh . .?

Hussein was caught making an ill-thought-out remark revealing what his real plans are in an irritated manner directed at a man he thought lesser than he.

Joe told him that it was his PLAN to hire five employees to drive five additional trucks and take on more plumbing jobs and he thought the business he was planning to grow would make $250,000 to $280,000 annually.

But, baby Bama needed a nap that afternoon . . .

Good “tongue in cheek” article but then I have always appreciated anything facetious.
