Description
Joe The Plumber was catapulted into the media spotlight after asking, then Senator Barack Obama a simple question while campaigning in Joe's neighborhood. Their famous exchange has been replayed for millions of viewers the world over. Joe has since become an American folk hero and the ultimate icon of the working class. Joe The Plumber - Fighting for the American Dream follows Joe's adventures in the media and along the campaign trail up to the 2008 Presidential Election. Discover the Real Story that hasn't been told about his rendezvous with Obama, the real and personal impact of the illegal invasion of his privacy by Ohio State officials, his eye-opening experience with Governor Sarah Palin, and the tough question he asked John McCain while on his Straight Talk Express. Readers will enjoy Joe's witticisms, his reflections about his upbringing, and come to know the real man aside from myth and legend.
