Meet Joe the Plumber

By Josh Sweigart | Monday, October 27, 2008, 02:27 PM

Joe the Plumber is on tour and will meet Butler County residents Tuesday, Oct. 28, at S & S Pools in Middletown, 41 Oxford State Road.

Joe Wurzelbacher is traveling with former congressman and White House budget director Rob Portman as part of a statewide tour supporting Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid.

The two will speak briefly at 2:15 p.m., according to campaign officials, then will be available for people to meet.

Wurzelbacher achieved international fame when he was mentioned more than 20 times in the last presidential debate this year. He raised from unknown Ohio plumber to an icon for conservatives when he confronted Sen. Barack Obama about his tax plan. Wurzelbacher said he wants to buy the plumbing company he works for and asked the Illinois senator why he wants to raise his taxes if he does so.

Here is the famous exchange from ABC News:
