Hi

Thanks for your input.
You mentioned the whole 'Jake the Plumber' incident. I did a Google search on the incident and although I found links to it. What I didn't find is anything solid as to Obama attacking 'Joe the Plumber'.

Can you point me to this and then tell me what Obama did that would create such a controversy?

Tom

Tom,

Sen. Obama didn't "attack" Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher. Mr. Wurzelbacher approached Sen. Obama while the senator was on the campaign trail & asked him about his tax plan & what effect that would have on small business owners, as Mr. Wurzelbacher aspires to buy the plumbing business he works for. In the course of answering Mr. Wurzelbacher, Sen. Obama suggested that his tax plan would help out the people "behind" Mr. Wurzelbacher's success, and said that he feels it's a good thing to "spread the wealth around." Sen. McCain's campain shrewdly seized upon these statements as evidence of Sen. Obama's socialist leanings.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
