Joe the Plumber says Obama tap danced "almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."
On CBS's webcast after TV debate coverage, Joe Wurzelbacher (the Plumber)
told Katie Couris that he wanted to ask Obama tough questions, but
"Unfortunately, that's all I got. A tap dance. Almost as good as Sammy
Davis, Jr."
Is it just me, or would Joe have described McCain as a dead, tap-dancing, black celebrity? Damn, Joe. Why the surprise? Don't you know all Democrats can tap dance like Sammy because of the extra bone in their feet?

I watched the original clip and Obama went into a lot of detail with the guy. And now he plays his racist hand. Nice.

Yes, Joe W. is just your run-of-the-mill $270,000 per year plumber. Yeah, right. The best response to Joe was the one Obama gave before walking away. Which is, that giving tax cuts to nurses, and firemen, and waitresses allows such people to hire Joe (at $270K/yr.).
Obama has to use cases such as Joe W. as an example of the bottom-up economics he's been promoting. Business owners do better when consumers have more money to spend.

I wish Obama would've mentioned that Joe the Plumber makes more than Joe the Senator.

Yes and poor Joe cannot buy the plumbing empire he always wanted because his taxes would go up.
You see what we have here is a failure to agree on what "small" is. :)

Two faced Joe the bigot.
The candidate gave in depth, intelligent answers to Joe's questions and Joe ain't your 'ass & elbows' plumber. Man's educated and a plumbing contractor. Last night I went away from that clip thinking Barak & Joe connected, and Joe seemed to like what he heard. To read today what Joe said while in the 'lime light' really surprised me.
Joe you are an egotist. Wit is not intelligence. Sammy Davis Jr? What a bigot you are Joe! Two faced and as you said it's all so surreal. Guess it turned your smooth little head. I thought you had more class. Cheap shot Joe

The accusations of racist and bigotry are really stretching it. Maybe Joe should have compared Obama's dancing to Mao Tse-Tung's.
