Forget Joe the Plumber, enter Peggy the Moocher

Remember this one?

Who famously said

“Because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won’t have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know. If I help (Obama), he’s gonna help me.”

Michelle Malkin refers to her as “Peggy the Moocher” in an article that I just read on IBD Editorials. Michelle says

“E pluribus unum” is no longer our national motto. These three words are: “Do for me.” As in: What will the government do for me?

My favorite part however was this piece

Unlike Joe the Plumber, Peggy sees government as her salvation and the president as her subsidizer-in-chief. She voted with the expectation that the Spreader of Wealth will reward her with payback. Joe just wants Washington to leave him alone to fend for himself.

Personal responsibility? Hah. Washington can’t afford it.

What ever happened to the JFK days of the Democratic party where JFK said those immortal words

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
