While the media and nutroots are busy attacking every aspect of Joe Wurzelbacher’s life John McCain is busy understanding the basis of the question he asked Barack Obama and he also understands the problem with Obamas answer.
The following the text of a speech by Sen. John McCain:
It’s great to be here in Miami. Florida is a must-win state on November 4th, and with your help, we’re going to win Florida, and bring change to Washington, DC. We had a good debate this week. You may have noticed– there was a lot of talk about Senator Obama’s tax increases and Joe the Plumber. Last weekend, Senator Obama showed up in Joe’s driveway to ask for his vote, and Joe asked Senator Obama a tough question. I’m glad he did; I think Senator Obama could use a few more tough questions.
The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn’t recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks.

Yesterday I discussed Obama’s socialist ideals and in that article I mentioned his perceived existence of the American “Promise.” My assertion was that Obama’s life and political career has distorted his view of the American Dream which is to give everyone the opportunity to succeed even if that success comes through failure.
Today I received my Washington State ballot and along with that the Voters Pamphlet. In that pamphlet candidates are given a chance to list a statement. In Sen. Barack Obama’s statement I was somewhat shocked to find that he actually showed that he operates on the basis of an American “Promise”

Barack Obama finally let the cat out of the bag the other day when speaking directly to a potential voter and it was all caught on video.
“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the blue-collar worker asked.
“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama told him. “I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success, too.
“My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
