Was Joe the Plumber a plant?

Wow, a plant?

Obama came to his neighborhood. The guy was playing catch on the front lawn with his kid.

Obama approached him. It was Obama who told Joe "I want to spread the wealth"

But remember, Obama gave a radio interview in 2001 in which he said the Warren Court should have interpreted the Constitution as saying there is a right to spread the wealth but failed to do so.

Obama said the famously liberal Warren Court "wasn't radical enough."

Joe the Plumber was a citizen who tripped up a presidential candidate. That's what makes America so great.

No. How could the Republicans have known what street or neighborhood Obama would be walking through?

He simply asked a question that Obama did not have a good answer for, and that is forbidden. It should not matter if he was a plant or who he is, it is a legitimate question. Now he gets scrutinized for it.

Also the reporter in Florida was not a plant either, the one who asked Joe Biden the question comparing Obama's policies to a statement by Karl Marx. No question concerning policies should be considered out of bounds. But Biden refused to answer her and refused any more interviews from that news station.

Both questions should be answered and the questioner should not be considered a public enemy for doing so!

It would be hard to be a plant and have the candidate come to YOUR street and take YOUR question and then have YOUR question broadcast on every news program for the next month.

No, I don't think he was a plant. The only extraordinary thing about the situation was Obama's response. A plant wouldn't have been able to predict the goldmine of "spreading the wealth".

A plant?

I know I keep saying it but man are Liberals stupid!

Obama walked up in Joe's yard while He was throwing the football with His Son. So do tell morons here,how is that a plant? I guess McCain bought the house years ago knowing that Obama would lie,cheat and steal enough to get where He is now.Also knowing the You MORONS would actually believe Him and vote for Him. Oh and before one of You idiots say's its one of McCain's 11 houses or something else stupid like that remember McCain bought His houses legally and earned them. He did NOT stoop to obama's level and utilize Tony Resco- felon

How could he be a plant, when Obama went to his house? Do you think the Republicans follow Obama around when he is going door to door campaign, and wait for the perfect opportunity to put the Guy in his own front yard, just to get him to ask Obama a question? And by the way this nonsense, is why I am no longer supporting Obama, and either are my family and friends.

You got it right. He certainly was not a plant. He's a regular citizen (just like us) that asked a simple, credible question, and got hammered for it later. Another question to ponder is whether or not "Hidin' Biden" is a plant. He sure is the "gift that keeps on giving". He spoke out against Obama, and was adamant about it, even stated once that he would be honored to be McCain's running mate. Here's another conspiracy question: Do you think Obama picked Biden to shut him up? Hasn't worked, has it?

Im not ready to call him a plant, but I am 100% Positive he was there with a very very Biased Agenda. After it came out that he donated to Republicans pre question, and some of the other suspicious claims against him make me wonder if he was not tapped or at the very least eager to attempt to stump or hurt Obama.

I just find it very strange that he has turned into a ROCK STAR in the republican ticket literally days after he questioned Obama.

I don't think he was a "plant" by the Obama campaign.

It seems that this "Joe the Plumber" is a repeat of something that occurred back in 1993...almost as if one could see this coming....curiously enough....

Yeah, a plant. And those yelling "Kill Obama!" at McCain rallies are also plants. You think a plant would get such notoriety without being found out? Geesh!

The truth is,what does it matter,if he was a plant,he didn't convince any one to change their vote,Joe is just another part of republican strategy,

Throw it at the wall and hope it sticks!
