Ohio Government Computers Used To Investigate Joe The Plumber

What the hell gives the Obama campaign and his lapdogs in the main stream media the right to turn the life of a man completely upside down and attempt to dig up dirt on him on their way to smearing him — just for asking a question of a man who is seeking our vote. A few short weeks ago Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher was just your average American working man, who dreams of one day being his own boss, who was outside playing catch with his son when Barack Obama strolled into his neighborhood campaigning.
Now because he asked Obama a question, and the answer Obama provided was a telling one on the candidates Marxist leaning economic beliefs — the Obama campaign and its minions in the media have turned the man’s life upside down.
From the Columbus Dispatch:
“State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about “Joe the Plumber.”
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.
The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama’s tax proposals.
Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher’s driver’s license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.
Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.
It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver’s license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.
Paul Lindsay, Ohio spokesman for the McCain campaign, attempted to portray the inquiries as politically motivated. “It’s outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama’s allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question,” he said.
If this is what happens to a regular, average citizen who asks a question of candidate Obama, I am scared as hell for the future of my country, when I think about what might happen to someone who questions President Obama.
