Joe Biden admits: "There are no Joe Plumbers in my neighborhood"
Of course there are no plumbers in your neighborhood Joe. That’s because you live in a multi-million dollar home, nicer than the other million dollar home you recently sold to a credit card company for twice its worth. That’s the kind of neighborhood you live in. Not as nice as Hyde Park, where the Obama Mansion, that convicted felon Tony Rezko helped your running mate buy, sits, but still very nice we’re sure.
No plumbers at all in your neighborhood — and your ticket’s economic policies will sure keep it that way.
And why is it that no one’s ever seen you hanging out at Home Depot the way you claimed in the VP debate you like to do? Joe Biden is pretty hard to miss in a Home Depot.
He’d be the guy with the giant foot stuck in his mouth not speaking to any plumbers.

Biden might have met some of the plumbers in his neighborhood if he actually hung out at his local Home Depot. Although he said he did in the VP debate, a local radio show called all the Home Depot’s in his area, no one could ever remember seeing their Senator there.
You believe anything Biden says at your own risk.
Considering how much time Biden is supposed to spend hanging around Home Depot, you would think he would know a few Joe the Plumbers. When we remodeled our first house, we encountered a number of Joes, the small business owners who, after busting their butts for 15 to 20 years, had a handful of guys or a couple of crews with trucks/vans working for them to do plumbing, heating/cooling, electrical work, flooring, remodeling, roofing, etc.
No plumbers in JB’s neighborhood? So his place has an outhouse????
Actually, Biden’s neighborhood is much nicer than Hyde Park. (I once lived in Hyde Park.) Biden’s huge custom-built mansion sits at the end of a half-mile long driveway on a private lake he shares with a few other plutocratic neighbors. There is also a second house on the property. It’s a very secluded and very exclusive enclave in an area where most of us would be as unwelcome as Joe Plumber, made possible for the other Joe by his cronies in the financial services industry.
WTF? How out of touch with the middle class is Obama and Biden? I work in the building industry. I know many Joe the Plumbers and many Joe the Electrians, and many Joe the concrete guys. I know some of these guys and gals too that started their own contracting business….and yes they do EARN actually well over $250,000 a year (and the question…is Obama saying $250,000 AGI, or $250,000 taxable income.
Biden should shut up and not talk down to tradespeople…they have a lot of education (just not academic. They’re very smart, and they work very hard….
And Joe, next time your toilet overflows, remember the plumber that shows up may feel like you dissed him….That may not be such a good situation.
Biden certainly is the right person for nobama…both are not in touch with the American people.
Einstein once said if he had it all to do over again he would have been a plumber.
Kind of ironic, there was another plumber once who brought politics to it’s knees.
I hope Biden gets out there and starts slamming plumbers, just like they’ve tried to attack Sarah Palin. That could backfire beautifully. First they came for the hockey moms… and then they came for the plumbers.
