If a Republican politician used the word "Jew" in some odd or questionable context like this, you would never hear the end of it. But this will blow over shortly if the MSM gets its way.

I'm sure that I just missed Abe Foxman's angry diatribes over this outrageous antisemetic insult. I'm sure that I'll be able to hear him all the way from California any minute now, I'm sure...

You won't get any argument from me about Foxman's ADL. They are unquestionably more circumspect about antisemitism on the right than antisemitism on the left, even though the latter is by far the larger problem in the US and the western world today.

It's a bit of a problem to call this an "outrageous antisemitic insult" in and of itself. But if you factor in Obama's considerable history, you would have to say that the Freudian slip is consistent with his anti-Jewish inclinations.

BTW, Foxman's office is located in New York (a stone's throw from the UN), not in California.
