It seems rather surreal that the man is making a career out of asking a couple of questions which were answered by a presidential candidate. It isn't as if he debated him to a standstill or something, he asked a question and had his flat-tax followup shot down. Why is he a celebrity again?

No kidding. It's not as though that video makes Obama look bad. And Obama's answer certainly shouldn't strike fear into the Joe Plumbers, Joe Sixpacks or 99% of "middle America".

And if undecided voters watch the original video, they're likely to be impressed by Obama. Sure, the McPalin koolaid drinkers hear what they want to hear, but this could be backfiring on them.

When I saw it originally, I thought *EVERYONE* has to see this clip. I was convinced it would convert 10% of the voters to Obama. It cemented in me that he's the real deal.

And yet the McCain campaign saw something else. Really, with minds thinking so differently it's no wonder I can't understand them. It's like that picture where some people see a witch and some people see a beautiful girl. I watched it and saw one thing, and apparently the McCain camp found something else.

Well, they thought they'd try hitching their wagon to the wealth redistribution star.
