So, where’s the outrage?
How many years has it been that we’ve been hearing that George W Bush is personally listening to every phone call we make? The Left is worried that all of their stupid conversations are being taped and stored for Republicans’ listening pleasure. But then an actual real case of privacy violations occur, but because it’s Joe the Plumber, there’s a big yawn across Ohio. I picked this up at the Columbus Dispatch by way of Ace of Spades;
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.
[…]
“Our practice is when someone is thrust quickly into the public spotlight, we often take a look” at them, Jones-Kelley said, citing a case where a lottery winner was found to owe past-due child support. “Our practice is to basically look at what is coming our way.”
[…]
Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland is satisfied that there are no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher, a spokesman said.
“Based on what we know to this point, we don’t have any reason to believe the information was improperly accessed or disclosed by a state employee,” said Keith Dailey, Strickland’s press secretary.
Yeah, the governor is satisfied. He’s satisfied that anyone else in Ohio seeking to ask questions of Barack Obama will think twice before popping their heads up in the state government’s crosshairs. Ace also confirms that Jones-Kelley just happens to be a donor of the maximum $2300 to the Obama campaign.
I guess you folks in Ohio are feeling safer now that you know that the Ohio government is watching your neighbor so closely…oh, and you. I suspect those man-on-the-street interviews will drop off shortly.

Well Jonn,
My question is can we help Joe? Just because we can and he desrves the kudos for calling Barck to the carpet and all. Have I said I hate Barack today?
Was Joe making international calls to countries that end in “‘stan”? I doubt it. Shocking abuse of power, but he did dare to ask The Obama a question, so he gets what’s coming to him.
I guess it’s like anything else, you put yourself out there and so things can happen.
But, c’mon, it is way over the top the way they’ve gone after one person like that. And it doesn’t matter that it’s this guy or someone else — it’s too much. Way too much.
And, DefendUSA, no, I don’t think you did say yet today how much you hate BO, so go right ahead for me. Don’t know that I’m to the word hate yet, but I really, really, really, really don’t like him. Really.
This is total BULLSHIT!
“Our practice is when someone is thrust quickly into the public spotlight, we often take a look” at them, Jones-Kelley said…”
Well Helen, let’s see where you approved a search on Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers or any other of Obama’s terrorist, racist and un-American pals.
Didn’t think so. Helen, you are a pathetic liar!
COB6,
We live in a cultire where there’s nothing too stupid that can’t be offered as an excuse.
I have to honestly say I did not fear obama and the obama machine until this. I have said before, we’ve suffered through bad presidents and we’d weather this one, but I’m not so sure now, this close to the election.
It’s just plain scary when we’re talking about the things that make America America.
