http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/19/rollins.powell/index.html

Powell:
Retired 4 star General
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Ronald Reagan’s National Security Advisor
Secretary of State
two Presidential Medals of Freedom
the President’s Citizens Medal
the Congressional Gold Medal
the Secretary of State Distinguished Service Medal
the Secretary of Energy Distinguished Service Medal
and the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award
Several schools and other institutions have been named in his honor and he holds honorary degrees from universities and colleges across the country.
Joe:
Unlicensed plumber
Owes back taxes

Is it fair to compair the two?

Also is it fair that he is being called a traitor by the GOP? After them calling many “unamerican” for criticizing in any way John McCain a POW???
Mark. Thanks for the insight, but if would have paid attention to the question AT ALL….you would have seen that we were talking about people comparing Colin Powell to Joe the plumber….not Joe Leberman as you seem to think for goodness knows why. More unimformed GOP with a lack of attention span.

Have you ever aspire to go to a Ivy League school, have a better job, make more money, own your business, have a bigger/nicer home ?????????

O.K. some have all of the above given to them…….

Most of us have to work real hard for it………

Obama & his wife supposedly came from nothing and went to the most prestigious(very expensive) university’s in the country….. most of us middle class can never afford that.
( I like to know how they where able to afford this schools?)

Why is everyone is soooooooooo p-od at this guy for aspiring to be more than just a plumber?

P.S. His name is Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (he uses his middle name)…..

John McCain called out for his new buddy Joe the Plumber to stand up at a rally in Ohio, only to be greeted with confused silence. Joe the Plumber wasn’t there.

But that rally featured another embarrassing moment, one that illustrates a far more troubling dynamic for the Republican ticket. The McCain campaign actually had to bus in school kids from the surrounding area in order to fill the event.

A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.
This happened as if a reminder were needed less than a week out from the election, Do you think in the heat of John McCain campaign he should be drawing record crowds ?

Doesn’t this make McCain look like a socialist dictator

You ned to do a five year apprenticeship where you get paid practically nothing.

In the USA I hear all you have to do is a 2 year course or some such and you can work in the trades.

getting a job that would pay better than, for example, retail, and allow you to advance your skills and earn much higher rates of pay.
