Columbus Dispatch: Ohio’s inspector general is investigating why a state agency director approved checking the state child-support computer system for information on “Joe the Plumber.” Helen Jones-Kelly, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, confirmed today that she OK’d the check on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher following the Oct. 15 presidential debate. She said there were no political reasons for the check on the sudden presidential campaign fixture though the Support Enforcement Tracking System. Amid questions from the media and others about “Joe the Plumber,” Jones-Kelley said she approved a check to determine if he was current on any ordered child-support payments.
Democrats won't care about this at all - which was also at least the 4th time state computers were used to access his information. To them, the fact that Joe was just asking a question and might hurt their Lord in his run to the White House means that he is to be torn down and smeared right away. The means are justified. They are just doing us a public service. That is really how they think. By the way, as we know by now, Joe's kid lives with him. So who would he owe money to? Himself?
Oh, and Helen Jones-Kelley has maxed out to Obama. Governor Strickland, according to his spokesman, is "satisfied that there are no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher (Joe)." Yep. Sure. Move along, nothing to see here.
Joe the Plumber may turn into Joe the Litigant. Jones-Kelley will probably get a promotion to another department when the election is over. Or maybe a position with HHS in an Obama Administration.
Did this happen in Cuyahoga County too?
Unrelated: What is Bill O'Neill talking about? Last time I checked, Steve LaTourette voted against the bailout. Twice. Bill O'Neill was for it. The bailout money in part was used to buy National City Bank and kill Cleveland jobs. I don't get how his own press release in any way helps O'Neill.

Joe the plumber's question was a FOX gotcha-style question.
While posing what seemed like an honest question at first, it became clear later that there was no honesty in the question at all.
Simply another stunt.
Now, to make matters even worse, Republicans are making the stunt the focus of attention.
Yet another distraction from policy issues which McCain-Palin realized a long time ago they were failing in…..and in a dreadful manner.
There's no excuse but you're right, no one is going to care. Just more creepiness.
Maybe Bill O'Neill should go back to being a nurse. Running for Congress is messing with his common sense.
If Steve LaTourette's right and we should be investigating wrong doing, than how is Bill not right for saying we should stop the sale??? At the very least it should be blocked until an investigation yields results.
What another wonderful example of: "These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along."
Isn't it great when life can and does in fact imitate art?
Obama up 2 in gallup
hey butler!!!!!!
I'll see your Gallup and raise you a Pew…
"Barack Obama leads John McCain by a 52% to 36% margin in Pew’s latest nationwide survey of 1,325 registered voters."
Deal those cards.
Between this abuse of access to private information and the ACORN fraud Ohio is quickly becoming an election season joke.
Bill, right on.
Lets see, the trackers are Obama up 2, 4, 4, 5. I think Pew is off.
Let's all first of all realize that Joe is not a licensed plumber…is not even remotely close to having the financial resources to buy the company and,thirdly, would be in no position to be over the 250k in income in order to be in the position to have his taxes increased…….it's all over but the cryin!
I guess there is no reason to go after him then, right?
I suppose he could get a loan? Opps, wait a minute Barney Frank wasted on some crooked CEO's high pay so it could be rerouted to the barry campaign.
Democrats are just trying to protect us. They know what is best.
I'm gettin a little worried here that Dems are going to win.
As far as I know Obama isn't even a licensed plumber either.
