Billionaire Jews on Obama's Mind?

A Freudian slip?

Over the weekend, President Obama spoke before the Congressional Black Caucus. According to the White House transcript, this is what was on his teleprompter:

When you start saying, at a time when the top one-tenth of 1 percent has seen their incomes go up four or five times over the last 20 years, and folks at the bottom have seen their incomes decline -- and your response is that you want poor folks to pay more?

Give me a break.

If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that

This is what he actually said:

If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew, uh, as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that.
Let's go to the videotape (at the 19:31 mark):

  1. I think he might have been saying "... as a junior ...", but just got as far as "... as a ju...".

    Not that Jews aren't on his mind or anything, I just think that this slip up might be completely innocent.

  2. "I'm gonna press on for equality!"

    O, Bama. I wish we were talking about the same kind of equality (equal rights to life, liberty etc.) but I fear we're not.

  3. Unfortunately, I have to [mostly] agree with anon @1:35.

    He's married to a teleprompter for God's sake. You can't accuse him of being a mindless blank slate and of having enough of a mind to have a freudian slip at the same time.

  6. Boy, I bet the ultra-religious right is going to have a good go-round with this one. For them, if you even say the word "jew", then you're automatically an anti-semite. And, they don't care if you also happen to be semitic yourself.

  7. Jews consist of less than 2% of the population yet control Hollywood, Wall st, and the MSM. They are a smart, cunning, and well organized. Every politican has to "get the jewish vote" and pander to Israel otherwise their political career has no future. Im Jewish so don't dare call me anti-semitic. Facts are facts. Jews have big money, an agenda, and through AIPAC, AJC, and numerous other political organizations basically control the outcome of US politics. How can less than 2% of the US population be so important to politicans? They can afford to pay more taxes to support this oversized government, and military adventurism that is fighting for Israels safety in the Mid East.

  8. I love the part afterwards where he's golfing with Bill Clinton and asks him how raising taxes went. Bill's response "well, turns out, we had a lot of jobs." Solid logic.
