But after essentially being at the right place, at the right time, he asked President Barack Obama a question that gained him national attention. Since then, he has not gone back to his “common guy” role as a plumber. He now makes his living traveling around the country, speaking at largely conservative-themed rallies.

What do you think of “Joe the Plumber?” Do you think he was just at the right place at the right time? Or did he ask an intelligent question that earned him the national attention and current job of speaking around the country?
