I’ve listened to this over and over. I’m a public speaker, and I know what it is to get into my material and just breeze along. You’re no longer checking notes. Doesn’t mean you aren’t prone to a mistake, but it does mean that what’s coming out is coming out of your brain, your heart, your emotions.
After listening and listening, I think Obama was breezing along in just that way. I think what came out of him is what we would call a Freudian slip. (Or it could have been an intentional slip....a sending of a message....to someone.)
I think he showed his heart. I’m terribly afraid “Jew” was coming out when he caught and stopped it abruptly.
We should not be surprised. The late Richard Nixon regularly bashed Jews, we now know from released tapes.
The bible says, “Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.”
Everything about his muslim background says, and everything about his history of throwing Israel under the bus says, we should not be surprised to have him revealed as an anti-semite.
Gaffe = Unintentionally saying what you really think.
YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT!
that was a freudian slip...in the context and to THAT audience...he was in a stream of consciousness that was emotional and its always the ‘rich Jews”...but then, we will just wait for the media to analyze it ( uh, huh, sure).
make it viral in any case!
Put it into some more context - he has spent the last week in New York at the UN discussing Israel with the State Department many foreign diplomats +/- the loss of NY-9 seat presumably by the loss of many “Jewish votes”... it is fair to wonder if “Jews” have been on his mind all week.
