Joe the Plumber all but came out of the water closet for Sen. John McCain on Friday, saying that his famous exchange with Sen. Barack Obama made him "scared for America" and that he doesn't trust the Democratic presidential candidate on taxes.

The plumber, aka Joe Wurzelbacher, burst into the headlines after he buttonholed Mr. Obama less than two weeks ago during a campaign stop in his Holland, Ohio, neighborhood and quizzed him about his tax policy. On Friday, he said that he wasn't impressed by the Illinois senator in their encounter.

"When I was face to face with him, my honest first impression was that I expected something more. I had heard so much about 'his presence' in the media that I was surprised to find that he seemed very average," Mr. Wurzelbacher wrote in a live online chat on WashingtonTimes.com (read the transcript with Mr. Wurzelbacher here).

"My gut feeling as he answered my questions? I was scared for America," he wrote in response to a reader who asked "When you were face to face with Obama, what were you thinking and how did it feel?"

Mr. Wurzelbacher, arguably the world's most famous plumber, has become a cornerstone of Mr. McCain's Republican campaign, which had embarked on a statewide blitz across Florida in a series of "Joe the Plumber" events aimed at blue-collar workers.

Doggonit, if Joe says don't vote for Obama then that's good enough for me!

Doesn't trust Obama regarding taxes?

Fuck you, you don't even pay them you tax evading fraud. Why isn't there a lien on your house? Why isn't the IRS investigating your ass?

Well, when even top repugs are defecting in droves I guess it's some comfort that good ole Joe is sticking with the ticket.

It's pretty funny, he's such a douche. They pretty much used his own case scenario as far how much his taxes would be if he bought this "business" and pulled in 250K - 270K per year. Basically, he'll be paying $900 bucks more per year. What a moron!!

The unlicensed plumber is talking about 'honesty.'

He is not scared for America. He is scared his tax-evading, shady business pursuits may not be able to fly under the radar anymore.

Shouldn't he be illegally opening the business? The one Obama's tax plan would increase the amount of money he neglects to pay in the coming years?

I like that he's "average", that is "his presence". Unlike McCain that thinks he is so above all.

He isn't a plumber. He's a wannabe plumber working illegally from what I've read.

Because the Bush Administration decreased funding for the IRS, so they haven't been able to investigate or audit as many people as they used to.

This seriously reeks like he's employed by the Repugs. Wouldn't be surprised if in the end the fake plumber turns out to be a struggling actor, happy to perform a trick for food and housing.
