Remember Joe the Plumber? Well, Obama and his thugs went after him but who knew??

Here is a brief from Judicial Watch about Joe the Plumber and the abuse he was subjected to because Obama happened to stop and talk to him during the 2008 campaign. Prior to that campaign season, the common citizenry was off-limits to inquisition by either the media or the Feds when its members spoke out on issues. Because of Obama and his Marxist thugs, for the first time in modern times, citizens are punished with investigation and televised network exposure for doing nothing more than speaking up.

The message is clear: if you challenge the Marxists in power, either in writing or in some kind of interview, you will be made to pay the price. The lesson is clear: the Marxist Left will no longer tolerate "commoners" speaking out on the issues. Before Joe Wurzelbacker became an internet sensation, folks at CNN and MSNBC were charging that he had no right to speak out because his personal life was not in order, that his name might not be "Joe," that he was working without a license and that he owed the IRS $1,600.

Now we know that Obama may have orchestrated this assault.

Here is what is going on with Joe the Plumber per Judicial Watch:

On October 12, 2008, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher was in his yard playing football with his son when Barack Obama and his campaign entourage approached, filming Mr. Obama's interactions with the public. As a result, Mr. Wurzelbacher, an employee of a small plumbing business, was able to ask then-Presidential candidate Obama about the impact of his tax policy on small business owners. The exchange resulted in widespread media attention and Mr. Wurzelbacher was referenced in the third Presidential debate as "Joe the Plumber."

As a result of his interaction with Mr. Obama, three officials of the State of Ohio instructed state employees to access confidential government databases for information regarding Mr. Wurzelbacher. A subsequent investigation by the state's Inspector General's office concluded that there was "no legitimate agency function or purpose for checking on [Mr. Wurzelbacher's] name through the [confidential databases] or for authorizing these searches," and on this basis Judicial Watch agreed to represent Mr. Wurzelbacher in a civil suit claiming that the searches were a violation of his constitutional rights.

On August 4, 2010, the District Court for the Southern District of Ohio held that, while the actions of the government officials were inappropriate, Mr. Wurzelbacher's constitutional rights were not violated and dismissed the case. Judicial Watch filed a brief with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 10, 2010. READ MORE >>>>>

Conclusion: Mr. Obama is no more the president of the people than is Hugo Chavez. This publication has never addressed Mr. Obama as "President." Now you know why. He is not my president by rite of his own actions and disgraceful rhetoric. This article is evidence of that fact.
