Joe Wurzelbacher, who had his fifteen minutes of fame back in 2008 when he asked a question that candidate Obama was ill-prepared to answer, has died at age 49 of pancreatic cancer. He leaves behind a wife and four kids. An Air Force veteran where he learned to be a plumber, Joe was the archetypal average Joe. Because of his temerity in questioning the Light Bearer, the media spent weeks critiquing every aspect of his life, including the fact that he had a state tax lien against him for slightly over a thousand bucks. In the 2008 campaign the media gave up its pretense of neutrality and became overtly what they had been covertly for decades, agents of the Democrat party.
During his battle with the disease that took his life, Wurzelbacher’s faith sustained him Go here to read all about it. Rest in peace Joe. I know God will be infinitely kinder to you than the Vulture Media ever was.

That the media would assault a private citizen in this way is another indicator that it is filled with people of low character.
Note, the late Mr. Wurzelbacher was a man with real skills in the process of setting up his own business. He also had a wife and children. And he was a veteran. Professional Democrats,their media auxilliaries, and the bourgeois segment of their street-level electorate simply do not value such people at all (or only value them if their skin is not white).
RIP
Rest in Peace Joe. You are truly in a far better place now.

Joe left behind a legacy for his children, not the publicity but that of a loving father and husband who was a man of great Faith. Prayers for his soul and for his family in their time of grief.
