This is why Joe matters, because he’s John Doe, he’s the average man, he’s the little punk the world revolves around.
Barack Obama’s treatment of Joe the Plumber exemplifies Obama’s general attitude toward all of us average guys of this country. It’s that brand of elitism that has spoiled this country, turned it sour. It’s that elitism that has led to our detachment from our representatives. When we elect people who don’t understand us, who look down their noses at us, who openly mock us for the whole world to see, how can we possibly expect them to work for us in Washington?
Wake up, John Doe, you’re the hope of the world. Now more than ever.
