Typical smoke and mirrors.....it doesn't matter a hoot about the various details of Joe the plumber's life because his question was legitimate. Ask yourselves why the media hasn't scrutinized Obama's life, someone who wants to become President of the United States but instead they go after an American citizen for asking a excellent question.

In his interview with Bill O'Reilly Obama said...
“If I am sittin’ pretty, and you’ve got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can’t, what’s the big deal for me to say I’m going to pay a little bit more… that is neighborliness”

When YOU DECIDE to help others, that is being kind and neighborly and good.
When the government puts a gun to your head to MAKE YOU do this, it is EXTORTION.
