JoethePlumber Represents all the Joes, The Average Joes, and the Ordinary Guys

The last presidential debate gave rise to a winner, JoethePlumber. What is interesting is that there have always been regular regualar Joes around. Now that the financial market is destroyed with Wall Street, now that the economy is almost destroyed, now that the bailout, rescue package has been voted by both houses and signed by the president, both presidential candidates want to show their connection to the regular guys' daily trials, they create one kind of Joe. Thus was born JoethePlumber. But JoethePlumber.com has already existed. It has been said that Senator Obama met Joe the plumber in Amarillo, Texas. It appears that John McCain has also met him. What a coincidence that both candidates met the same guy who got thrown into the spotlight. That is the pure magic of a long campaign!

Long after a president has been selected, Joetheplumber and regular Joes will be around. They are not going anywhere. Yet, they are going to be affected by the energy policies, healthcare plan, education proposals, financial and economic plans of the elected president. Joetheplumber like all other Joes will have to drive to work, send his children to school, travel on an airplane, get or use a credit card if he can get any credit these days. The Joes whom we know have already seeing their credit line contracted. Some of them have already lost their jobs. Others are thinking about finding a new line of work. The Joes who live in our neighborhoods are praying to be able to hang onto their jobs. Their employers have already lost many contracts due to the credit crunch. They got laid off. They are unemployed. If they are the owners of a once-growing company, they are watching their numbers. They are keeping expenses low. They still have to pay a lot of money in fuel expenses.
