==2008 Presidential Elections==
Wurzelbacher became a celebrity of the moment when 2008 presidential candidate [[Barack Obama]] was campaigning in Ohio, he spoke with Joe while news cameras were rolling. Joe publicly countered Obama's plan for [[wealth redistribution|redistributing wealth]], explaining that it sounds just like [[socialism]]. The [[Lamestream media]] went into full damage control mode, in protection of Obama. The Republican McCain-[[Sarah Palin|Palin]] campaign later applied "Joe the Plumber" as a metaphor for [[middle-class]] Americans.
Joe would join [[John McCain]]'s doomed campaign, giving support to the McCain/Palin ticket. Afterwards, Joe said he was disgusted with the whole McCain camp.
