We all know who Joe the plumber is, but does Barack Obama really know Joe? Now that the Obama campaign is suddenly on the defensive thanks to Joe's question, Obama has decided to show his elitist side and has began ridiculing the notion of a plumber actually earning $250,000.00 per year. At a campaign stop today, Obama sneered and said "how many plumbers do you know making a quarter million dollars per year?" and basically ridiculed the idea. What an insulting thing for Obama to say.

This just shows how clueless this guy really is. He has no idea how the real world works, and he has no idea the disastrous effect his economic policies are going to have on very real people. Barack Obama has based his economic policy on a class warfare ideology learned from books and in universities, not from the real world. And when cornered on the issue, he has now turned to Joe the plumber and ridicules the idea that Joe might actually make that much.

Way to insult the messenger, Obama.
