'Joe The Plumber' Describes His New Union Job

Dude, he worked as a plumber illegally. It was about one thing. Money. Was it really that hard for you?

He was working illegally as a plumber in the Air Force? Do you have any support for that claim? But you are right that people work for money. Most of them anyway.
Wow! The Leftist media really did an investigation on a private citizen, and discovered he had lived in Arizona at one time.

Too bad they didn't do a similar investigation of Barrack Obama.
 
and how would you go about finding answers to your suspicions?

What are you talking about here? I never needed a plumber so I would tell the guy he must have the wrong house. You LIVs are really getting desperate here!

maybe you don't understand why plumbers need licenses. they need licenses because their job involves working on public utilities, things handled and managed at the State Level. There is no state out there who would allow a plumber to work on public water pipes with out proof that he is skilled.

A Certified Plumbers Certificate is not a license. Perhaps you don't know what a license is.

Did Joe have that certificateto prove he was a certified plumber?

I apologize, I always thought certificate and license meant the same thing.

Are you guys still trying to make this about Obama? It's like you can't write a sentence without his name popping out. Usually that means you're in love.

Since you know what a plumbers license is, perhaps you can explain to Joe why he should have had one instead of working in Ohio illegally as one.

This is not correct they are one and the same depending on the state you work in. if you want to work on your own you must be a certified plumber if you are not then
you can get into major legal trouble. now you can work under a certified plumber and in fact it is required to get your license.

most state agencies require you to be a certified plumber regardless.

He's not good with facts. He'll just bob and weave. He wants this story to be about Obama.

You might ask yourself how I could possibly know something like that. It isn't me who is fixaed with Joe te Plumber.

I apologize, I always thought certificate and license meant the same thing.
Nope.

You can learn something new every day.

So in some states having a license to be a plumber is the same thing as being a certified plumber? If you are a certified, trained plumber, why would you need a license to practice your trade?
 
Joe (who isn't named Joe) the Plumber (who isn't a plumber) does not have a plumbers license.

Apparently the Air Force disagrees with you on this plumbing thing. Take your argument to them.

Would you have heard of Joe the Plumber if it wasn't fr his question period with Obama? Why a thread about someone who has been out of the spotlight for several years? What iis it about Joe the Plumber that attracts you so much?

In fact I don't know what a Plumbers license is, but I do know what a Plumbers certificate is. Whether or not Joe The Plumber is licensed or certified depends on those who care enough to make the inquires. You still seem obsessed with the man, despite the intervening years since his conversation with Barrack ("This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal.) Obama.
 
I do not consider the USAF to be the last word on plumbing

Who cares? If you feel he was not qualified then you should take it up with the Air Force. We certainly don't want sloppy National Security.

I said nothing about the AF. I said The Guy Not Named Joe is not a plumber

instead of a fish, here is a fishing lesson
see if you can solve your own question:
So in some states having a license to be a physician is the same thing as being a certified medical practitioner? If you are a certified, trained doctor, why would you need a license to practice medicine?

most states require that if you are a certified plumber that you register with the state. if you are not a licensed certified plumber you can get into major trouble legally if you try and do a plumbing job on your own. if you want to work as a plumber on your own you need to be licensed.

licensed/certified mean the same thing.

you have to have at least a journeyman's license before you can break out on your own. most states require that you register as a licensed plumber though. I know here in FL you have to. they are very strict about it. in fact they are over the top about it. if you get caught doing work without being registered you can be fined and kicked off the job site.
