Lurker Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 "A check of state and local licensing agencies in Ohio and Michigan shows no plumbing licenses under Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher’s name, or even misspellings of his name. Mr. Wurzelbacher told reporters Thursday morning that he worked for Newell Plumbing & Heating Co., a small local firm whose business addresses flow back to several residential homes, including one on Talmadge Road in Ottawa Hills. According to Lucas County Building Inspection records, A. W. Newell Corp. does maintain a state plumbing license, and one with the City of Toledo, but would not be allowed to work in Lucas County outside of Toledo without a county license. Mr. Wurzelbacher said he works under Al Newell’s license, but according to Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do plumbing work. He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means he’s not a plumber." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 His taxes would also go down under Obama's plan. This is a good one... Already, however, there is some dispute as to whether or not Wurzelbacher was being accurate with his critique of Obama. His business, as ABC reports, would almost certainly get a tax cut under Obama's plan, given that he does not expect to make anywhere close to $250,000 in profits. Moreover, for someone worried about his taxes, Wurzelbacher doesn't -- it appears - always pay them. A filing with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas shows that he has had state tax liens filed against him, meaning he was either delinquent or didn't fully cover taxes that he owed. A representative at the court explained that Wurzelbacher had not paid $1,182.98 of personal income tax. The state filed a lien on January 26, 2007, and the payment remains outstanding. But the court rep also cautioned that this all may have occurred without Wurzelbacher's knowledge. "We get hundreds of state liens every day and we don't have to make a judgment on them. We are just putting in there what the state says is owed. We don't notify that person and neither does the state. If there was activity on this lien, if they attempted to collect it on this case - which they haven't -- it would show up. But I am 99.9 percent positive that he doesn't even know about this."

That's good because he crossed Obama. People who get in the way of Obama making this country less mean spirited should have their lives put under a microscope and have their kneecaps broken. How dare this guy ask a loaded question like that to Obama. Obama's answer that he wants to "spread the wealth around" should be ignored if this guy turns out to not be a plumber. He didn't really mean it for anyone except plumbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatcrayonz Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 He didn't cross Obama. He got used by McCain. Dude he asked Obama a legitimate question which Obama answered in a communistic way. This was right in front of a camera. I seriously doubt Obama wanted any on camera communism before the election. Even if Obama should have known there would always be a camera nearby, this "plumber" should still keep his mouth shut. Who does he think he is talking to? The bottom line is that the guy deserves to have his life examined in the national media and to have his kneecaps busted. How did McCain use the guy? He can look like a stupid old man just fine without the help of a plumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Damn, this didn't take long at all. I wonder how long before we find out Joe The Plumber put a gun to his head when he suddenly realized he was stupid enough to pose a solid question to a Presidential candidate. "WE HAVE NO ANSWER FOR OBAMA'S "SPREAD THE WEALTH" COMMENT SOOOOOOOOO? LET'S GET THE PLUMBER!!!!" You guys are absolutely embarrassing yourselves. Freakin' unbelievable.

If Obama hadn't used the four words: "spread the wealth around" NONE of this would matter to ANYONE!! Instead, socialist fearing yahoos clinging to party loyalty are essentially acting out the "witch" scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail- YOU HEARD HIM, YOU ALL HEARD HIM! HE SAID SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND! SOCIALIST! SOCIALIST! YOU ALL HEARD HIM! EDIT: LABILLZ this applies to you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say that now he's going to be embarrassed because he "crossed" Obama is not true. I think we're actually sort of agreeing. I don't think the "Joe the Plumber" incident is hurting Obama. It's just another one of those red herrings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he was approximately born in the US, that's how he's able to run for president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
