Joe the Plumber has been the catalyst that has finally helped highlight the fact that Barack Obama is a socialist at heart. His question and Obama’s candid answer has crystallized the true difference between himself and McCain. McCain may be a big government guy, but Barack Obama is an outright socialist.
After saying that it was Joe the Plumber that won in this election, McCain went on to finally deliver the right economic message.
The reason why Joe won is because he’s the only person to get a real answer out of Senator Obama about his plans for our country.
I think you all know very well that Joe didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. Joe certainly didn’t ask to be famous. He certainly didn’t ask for the political attacks on him from the Obama campaign.
Joe, if you’re watching, I’m sorry you’re being put through this. No American should be attacked for asking questions of a presidential candidate. No one.
We learned more about Senator Obama’s plans from Joe’s question than we’ve learned in months of speeches by Senator Obama. Joe has now reminded us all that we didn’t become the greatest nation on Earth by giving our money to the government to “spread the wealth around”. In this country, we believe in spreading opportunity for those who need jobs and those who create them.
Obama telling Joe the Plumber that he (Obama) would love to “spread the wealth” was the first truthful comment that he’s yet uttered.
Obama is a socialist. It’s just that simple.
