Obama camp makes fun of 'average joe'

WOW who would have thunk it? The Democratic candidate for President is making fun of ‘the little guy’ out on the campaign trail. Say it isn’t so Barack.
Joe the Plumber dared ask a question about Obama’s tax policy and his answer as mentioned in my last blog was that Obama believes in spreading the wealth by taxing the earners and spreading it to those who don’t earn enough in Obama’s eyes! Great Answer Barack! I’ll bet after that truthful nugget your campaign staffers cringed and immediately ordered additional teleprompters to help you stay on point rather than showing Americans who you truly are in your door to door visits.

So while on the campaign trail this week, Barack pokes fun at Joe by stating ‘how many plumbers do you know who make a quarter of a million a year’ as to dismiss Joe for having an opinion on tax policy and assuming that he buys into the class warfare for which the Democratic party is so well known. Truth is Barack, many working class Americans can earn plenty when the government gets off of their back and out of their way. Please, oh please Obama continue to make fun of the working class guy who doesn’t envy the rich and successful but rather aspires to be one of them. This tactic will work perfectly for you for the remainder of the campaign, I promise. :)

Has anyone noticed a pattern yet? If you dare challenge Obama in a manner that gains traction you will be destroyed, even if you are one of the little people he purports to represent? Did he forget to mention that you do not matter unless you agree with him???
This tactic first began with Palin. Like her or not, she came on the scene with as much star power as Obama, and McCain’s numbers began to rise in a year where he should lose by double digits simply by being from the same party as the current president. Released by the left wing were media and Obama supporters who went to Alaska in droves to dig up any information that could be deemed as questionable from Palin's past. And now, the same leftist journalists have gone after the now infamous ‘Joe the Plumber’ who dared ask Obama a question about his tax policy. Joe wanted to know why Barack proposed a tax system that would basically punish families and small businesses for working hard and being successful and got an honest answer, one that has gained traction and is hurting O’s numbers.
So what does Joe get for eliciting such an honest response from Obama? He gets reporters camped out on his lawn, digging into his past to find out of all things ‘he’s not a licensed plumber, and he has owed back taxes’. The media has even gone so far as to write a story in the New York Times trying to show that old Joe would be better off under the Obama tax system because after all of the deductions Joe’s business is able to take, he would earn just under the $250k threshold O has chosen as the rich threshold and would not receive a tax increase under Obama’s plan. Problem is that Obama and the media miss the point: Joe does not want to make just under $250k with tax deductions, he wants to make more. He does not want his hard work to be taken from him and distributed to others who have not worked as hard in order to be deemed as ‘patriotic’ by the left. Rather, he would like to be free to live the American dream which by they way would end up helping others ‘less fortunate’ because small businesses create more jobs in America than do those evil large corporations.
I can see now why the press has not had time to properly vet Barack Obama, they’ve been too busy researching Palin and Joe in an effort to destroy them in order to get their guy elected! Maybe once he is President the media will have an opportunity to research Mr. Obama and some of his associations from Rev. Wright, to Bill Ayers to ACORN, but alas it will be too late.
