Obama gaffe: President says billionaires should pay ‘Jew’ tax rate
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/25/2011 | Jamie Weinstein

Posted on 09/25/2011 6:31:31 PM PDT by martosko

Speaking at the Congressional Black Caucus annual awards dinner in Washington Saturday night, President Obama made a verbal boo-boo.

While defending his call for the rich to pay more in taxes, the president said he didn’t mind people calling him a class warrior for merely asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew. Whoops!

The president meant to say “janitor” instead of “Jew,” and he immediately corrected himself. After all, he doesn’t need any more problems keeping Jewish voters enthusiastic about his re-election bid.

Well, seriously, it’s the damn Jews who are the millionaires and billionaires, that’s a fact, ain’t it?

Yep, it will be buried, and Obummer will be able to escape with nobody even knowing about this.

He is such an affirmative-action FRAUD. Wake up, America, you have an enemy as your President.

Yeah, you’ll forget it tomorrow, but you’ll remember “potatoe” for the rest of the days. Now, THAT was a STORY, wasn’t it?

Yes. Obama meant to say JUUUIIICCCEEE, because he thinks OJ Simpson got a raw deal.

Who hasn’t confused the words “Jew” and “Janitor” on many occasions during their life? Why, I’m nowhere near as smart as Barry the Professor, and I must make that mistake dozens of times a week!!

Slip of the tongue? 'Janitor' vs. 'Jew'? That's a huge stretch, even for a dumb@$$ teleprompter-reader like Zero.

You don't convince me. And why is this a non-story? As worst, it's a load of fun.

This was intentional, in my view. He slipped it in to please his audience. Obama thinks anti-semitism is cool in the black community. It’s part of proving his street cred, since culturally he’s not black. The method was in the same vein as holding his index finger next to his cheek when acknowledging Hillary after her concession.

God befuddled Obama’s mind!

Heavenly Father, please confuse the minds of the enemies of freedom. Please make them make mistakes and forgetful. And...If Obama is not a natural born citizen please see that he is lawfully and promptly removed and tried for his crimes.....In Jesus name. Amen!

Ummmm ... a certain barnyard epithet comes to mind. I just can't imagine what sort of mentality would confuse "janitor" and "Jew".

Watch and see how this “story” goes nowhere. He was reading. Janitor and Junior look similar to the tennis head bobbing TOTUS reader. He’s a dunce. But this nonsense about him somehow sneaking in a Jew reference is beyond stupid.

Easy to see how he could make that mistake, after all they sound so much alike. (rolls eyes)
