An Ohio plumber is getting his 15 minutes of fame on television and the Internet because of his on-the-trail chat with Barack Obama. But Joe Wurzelbacher isn’t letting the attention distract him.

I love this segment from an interview he gave to Family Security Matters:

PM: There’s a clip of you that’s been shown on television, and it’s all over the Internet on YouTube as well. It’s a very short clip. Do you think it accurately portrays the exchange that you had with Sen. Obama? Obviously there was more to it.

JW: I haven’t seen too much of it to be honest with you. I’ve been working yesterday and today, and the evenings spent with my boy or with my family. So I haven’t spent too much time looking at it.

I spend my days (and some nights) watching online videos. The day-time viewing is tolerable; it pays the bills because I’m the executive producer of a video-sharing site. But I’m lousing at calling it quits when the 5 o’clock whistle blows.

I didn’t use to be that way, and I don’t want to be that way any more. I want to be Joe Wurzelbacher — the kind of man who won’t even watch videos of himself because he is focused on his family when he’s not on the job.
