Anyone commenting on Obama’s response to Joe the Plumber really should watch the entire response: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1a4_1224166209

Obama is respectful, carefully explains his plan, lets Joe ask a follow-up after he’s explained, then responds to the follow-up. Obama took his time and treated Joe with respect.
