There is a new Left-wing ailing called “Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome”.

The conventional wisdom has to do with Joe having the moxy to call out Obama on Obama’s socialist re-distribution. And now the press have obsessed over Joe and examined his history the way they never have – or will - Obama himself, the man who would be the President.

They attack Joe because he doesn’t have a license (he practices his job under his boss’ company’s license) so the train of thought is that he isn’t a real plumber and therefore a fraud and therefore discredited+. He owes back taxes (so did Obama’s very close pal Tony Rezco and in Tony’s case it was intentional). Everything you would ever want to know about anything imperfect in Joe’s life is being thrown about with cynical glory by the mainstream media.

This much attention for just an average Joe. If ever you need to see what a true socialist environment would be under Obama in the US, here you are. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Communist America, where the average man had better shut his damn trap and behave subservient to those self-appointed bestowers of grace and goodness while they inform the rest of us how to live under the threat of personal disgrace – or worse. We really don’t need to wait for an election won by the likes of Barrack Obama – the mainstream media is doing a very good job of transforming the United States into a well-funded version of Marxist Russia by pretending Obama is already the President, and doing their Marxist-style press work for him accordingly.

However, the conventional wisdom somewhat misses the point. A point even of which the mainstream media may not be consciously aware. Obama is supposed to be skilled, brilliant, and intellectually nimble enough to turn on a dime while possessed of a vision large enough to see heroically into a vast and better future for generations to come. But the reality is worse than Joe simply having the moxy to call Obama out on his socialist policies. In his quiet, straight-talking sensible way Joe performed the one act of which the elite media finds to be nearly an act of blasphemy:

Joe the Plumber simply made Obama look merely average at best, and for that they will never forgive him.
