Step out of line, and the man’ll take you away
Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, disclosed today that computer inquiries on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher were not restricted to a child-support system.
The agency also checked Wurzelbacher in its computer systems to determine whether he was receiving welfare assistance or owed unemployment compensation taxes, she wrote.
Jones-Kelley made the revelations in a letter to Ohio Senate President Bill M. Harris, R-Ashland, who demanded answers on why state officials checked out Wurzelbacher.
Harris called the multiple records checks “questionable” and said he awaits more answers. “It’s kind of like Big Brother is looking in your pocket,” he said.
Proles in an Obama-led America must know their place; do not question your betters!
Criminy, Wurzelbacher; didn’t you know Lord Obama was on the Harvard Law Review? How dare you question him!
If you think that checking on Joe Wurzelbacher wasn’t politically motivated by Jones-Kelly, you’re sadly mistaken. She contributed the maximum to Obama’s campaign and I wouldn’t doubt that she received orders from Obama to “check Joe out” to find out any “dirt” she could on him. She’s another in the group of Obama’s vicious liberal illuminati scum bags who would do anything to get him elected. Why didn’t she check Obama out the same way she did Joe?
Mitch, haven’t you heard – When George W. Bush becomes President, government agents will probe and expose the private files and records of citizens who speak truth to power. All the Liberals I have asked about this have no problem with the Joe’s private information being exposed. Of course, these same people looked the other way when King William Jefferson Blythe Clinton was slapping around subordinate women who wouldn’t give him sex. It’s going to be an interesting next 4 years if The One gets elected. Room 101, to the left, Mr. Berg.
It’s funny how the left had all of these imaginary evesdropping stories, yet could never substaniate one of them.
Barry isn’t even in office yet (assuming he wins) and he is already spying on American citizens.
Where’s the snappy comments from Angry Clown on this one? Where’s the diarrhea-like comments from Peev on this one? Where o where? How about RickDFL? Silence.
Some Ohio bureaucrats check to see if Joe the Plumber is a criminal or a deadbeat? And nobody can tie anything to the Obama campaign? You’re gonna have to do a little better than that at this late hour.
Tick, tick, tick…
Try again, AC. The one who ordered the search (illegally) contributed the maximum amount to the Obama campaign, and the info was (illegally) given to the media and (ahem) the Obama campaign.
How do liberals sleep at night with this kind of chicanery going on?
Bike Bubba, don’t be silly. They don’t sleep at night in the first place because they’re all vampires!

Then he got back to mixing more concrete to cover up the used Cub Scout he lured into his home last week. To take John Wayne Gacy’s comment further how about this…
Some NSC bureaucrats check to see if calls from suspected terrorists in foreign countries to the US are plots or instructions? And nobody can tie anything to Bush / Cheney?
or this
Some State Department contractors had a look at the files of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to see whether they were consulting with Ahmadenijahd or Kim? And nobody can tie anything to Bush / Cheney?
John Wayne, you need to read the post more closely. It was about government intrusion into and exposure of the private life of a citizen who had the misfortune of having The One whiff on his question about wealth redistribution. The Obamachine ground up Joe for making The One look anything less than Messianic. The Liberal used to care about the little guy… eh, what’s the use.
Supposedly Joe is considering a lawsuit. Sounds like big bucks. Aren’t you some kind of lawyer? Just think, after you clip Joe for 70% of the settlement, you can be a True American by putting a chip in the game (according to Short Bus Joe Biden) and paying lots of taxes. I’ve been to Holland, OH. There is a big mall and a number of franchise, casual dining restaurants that you speak of so often here at SitD. You’ll love it!
Seflores-
Right Said.
It’s ironic that if you look at the bigger picture, Joe has done more for people than Obama has. Joe will come to your house on a weekend and fix your plumbing. Obama will get your signature on a petition, use that to get a grant to fund a study on the sad state of plumbing in your neighborhood, give the grant money to a politically connected ‘friend’, use your name in a campaign speech that deplores the awful state of housing in your area, and get elected to higher office.
You will marvel that Obama claims that millions of dollars have been spent to address your plumbing issues, but your damn toilet still backs up.
P.J. O’Rourke said it best* – “It’s one thing to tear down the sh**house, another thing entirely to install indoor plumbing”. From the looks of The One’s resume`, he is long on tearing things down and short on building things up.
*Unlike Stuart Smalley, I attribute quotes to O’Rourke when I use them.
