Now, to hear Obama over the last 20 months, you&#8217;d have though he&#8217;d have a little more sympathy for a working man. As many times as I&#8217;ve heard him tell crowds how he&#8217;s going to &#8220;fight&#8221; for us little guys, I guess he meant to add &#8220;except for plumbers&#8221;. Here&#8217;s the video;<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Sqis9mRcWl4\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Sqis9mRcWl4\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Listen to the crowd laughing at Obama&#8217;s &#8220;plumber&#8221; line. Look at the disgusted look on Obama&#8217;s face after he delivers it &#8211; as if even saying the word plumber is distasteful. All to distract from Obama&#8217;s answer that apparently is causing him some discomfort in the polls (Gallup says it&#8217;s 49-47 among likely voters according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drudgereport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Drudge<\/a> headline)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got some plumbing experience because the man my mother married was a plumber and I used to pick up extra money when I was home on leave by working with him when I was home on leave &#8211; much more money than I made in the Army. It&#8217;s dirty work, long hours and every job seems to be an emergency. But it&#8217;s absolutely essential. But that&#8217;s what makes this country great &#8211; folks putting up a shingle over their garage and living off of the sweat of their brow.<\/p>\n<p>Who&#8217;s Obama fighting for? ACORN. Racist preachers. Unrepetent domestic terrorist bombers. Unrepentent foreign terrorist bombers. Union thugs. Incompetent teachers. Americans don&#8217;t usually fit into any of those categories. So who is voting for Obama? What kind of person thinks they deserve a portion of the money that Joe the Plumber makes after a day of soldering pipes in a tiny crawl space under someone&#8217;s house? \u00a0 No Americans I know.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote last night about the elitist swine over at Democratic Underground who are spreading the most scurrilous rumors about this guy because he didn&#8217;t drink the koolaid. Well, that&#8217;s what&#8217;ll happen for the next four years if we get an Obama\/Biden presidency. Joe Biden claims plumbers just don&#8217;t make $250k&#8230;does Biden or Obama know what it costs to run a business? Do the folks at Democratic Underground know what iit takes to make payroll? It&#8217;s real apparent that they don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>Look at how Sarah Palin has been demonized, look at how John McCain went from being the left&#8217;s favorite Republican (who they all claimed they&#8217;d vote for back in 2000) to a horned devil. And now look at what they really think of the American working man.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Malkin&#8217;s syndicated column this week is about <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2008\/10\/17\/operation-destroy-joe-the-plumber\/\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Destroy Joe the Plumber<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuffy Miegs put together a video of Obama mocking the profession of plumbing by making the &hellip; <a title=\"&#8220;A plumber is the guy he&#8217;s fighting for&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=4069\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;A plumber is the guy he&#8217;s fighting for&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,47,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-liberals-suck","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
