This article from MSNBC.com and this video from Youtube.com depict Obama addressing a crowd of people. One of those people would quickly become famous for his question and answer session with President Obama.
While addressing a crowd of people, one man now called "Joe the Plumber," had a few questions for the president. "Joe" is starting a plumbing business and concerned with Obama's future tax plan, questioned Obama to find out how his future business would be taxed.
Obama spoke to "Joe the Plumber" and explained in detail his efforts to "help the small businessman." Obama explained that 95% of new businesses make less than $200,000 a year and that his new tax plan would help those businesses keep more money that the previous tax plans.
"Joe the Plumber" gained fame after his conversation with Obama and was mentioned several times by both Obama and McCain in a later debate. McCain and Obama both addressed the issue of the small businessman and discussed the tax plan for small businesses.
