That's actually better, certainly not for Joe, but for my argument that maybe Obama's plans for taxes and health care weren't the only things preventing Joe from starting his own business. Perhaps Joe should try to fix his own problems before accusing politicians of dancing like Sammy Davis. By the way, since when is starting a business "the American dream?" I've heard of home ownership as "the American dream," as well as having a spouse, two kids, a dog, and a home with a picket fence. But until McCain mentioned it last night, I'd never heard of owning a business as "the American dream." I can't help but wonder if this largely irrelevant "Joe the plumber" faux pa (sp?) isn't a clever technique by the McCain campaign to distract the public from more relevant mistakes (like choosing Palin). -- Kevin M.
