Youtube.com and MSNBC.com have posted articles and videos about Obama's encounter with "Joe the Plumber." If you don't already know about 'Joe,' he is a plumber who is looking to open up his own company and gained fame during a conversation with Obama about taxes for businesses.
Obama addressed "Joe" in a calm manner and explained his tax plan for small businesses in great detail. "Joe" listened intently to President Obama's response and seemed acceptive of what Obama was saying.
Initially, from "Joe's" body language you could tell that he was agitated and intended to argue with Obama, after only attempting to interrupt once, he seemed to approve of what Obama was saying.
This is another one of Obama's strong points, he has the diction and class to respond well at any criticism. "Joe" later became an icon of the "average joe" and the "small businessman" which worked to Obama's advantage after a successful conversation with "Joe the Plumber." Another victory for President Obama!
