No one is complaining about Joe the Plumber questioning Obama. It was a great question and gave Obama the opportunity to calmly explain his tax policy.
What we're complaining about Joe, is the fact that you then went on Katie Couric's webcast, directly after the debate, to slam Obama as a socialist, when you were really a conservative republican, who didn't have an open mind, or a license and you didn't pay your taxes. You said Obama was just a smooth talker, that he tap danced almost as good as Sammy Davis Jr. You essentially looked like a republican pawn and you misrepresented yourself. You epitomize the McCain campaign. Joe the Plumber is a good example of the narrowing of the republican party.
MSNBC: "You know, I am a plumber," Wurzelbacher said. "Just a plumber."
Wurzelbacher said he agreed to appear on the show after he received phone calls from friends serving in the military who voiced their support.
"You know, when you can't ask a question of your leaders anymore, that gets scary," he said.
On Sunday, McCain was to travel to Ohio, where he might appear with Wurzelbacher.
