What about Bob the Builder?

With all this talk about Joe the Plumber's tax situation, I got to wondering how some other characters might be affected by this election.

This is what I found.



Bob the Builder



Bob the Builder is a construction contractor, specializing in masonry repair. He is an early supporter of Barack Obama, mainly due to his use of Bob’s catchphrase (Can we fix it? Yes we can!). The more Bob learns about Obama and his policies, the more enthusiastic he is about his candidacy.

Bob’s main concerns are the effect the coming recession will have on his business and the cost of providing health insurance to his employees. He believes that Obama’s plans for health insurance and the economy offer the best hope for the future.



Dora the Explorer



Dora the Explorer’s number one issue is the environment. While the candidates have paid lip service to global warming, neither has addressed the issue of conservation and reversing the policies of the Bush administration with respect to the EPA.

Dora likes to stress compromise and never forces her beliefs on others. Consequently, she is concerned about the tone of the McCain/Palin campaign and the behavior of their supporters.

She is impressed with Obama’s demeanor and will enthusiastically be voting for the Democrat come November 4th.



Thomas the Tank Engine



Thomas is pleased that so much discussion has been centered on the country’s dependence on foreign oil. Although concerned at the price of gas, he is happy to note that rider ship on the nation’s railways is increasing.

While a lot of the discussion has been focused on alternative fuels, Thomas wishes that the candidates would express their views on public transportation, like light rail and high-speed inter city rail as an alternative to the automobile.

Thomas feels that McCain is too closely tied to the big oil companies and any chance of expanding the nation’s public transportation network will only come through an Obama administration.



Wile E Coyote



Wile E Coyote has only one concern – where his next meal is coming from. He is exclusively focused on one issue – catching the Road Runner.

His plans invariably fail in spectacular fashion, often blowing up in his face. Despite evidence to the contrary, he believes that endlessly doing the same thing over and over will eventually pay dividends.

Wile E Coyote will be voting for John McCain.

Thanks!

deserves another kick methinks:)

Bob has a heavy overloaded organization that relies on government projects and features union-related equipment operators.

Handy Manny is a streamlined adaptable operation with the flexibility and cost-benefit advantage of being able to do specific contract work therefore he doesn't burden down public expenses between projects.

Plus Manny works for cheap ;-)
