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.

You’re enjoying it too, otherwise you’d be moving on to other threads. BTW, the IMF is asking for a bailout. How ‘bout that?
I’m sure you would. Probably want to sell whatever you got stuck with. No thanks.
Actually, the Quayle thing was totally out of my head until YOU brought it up. I went and looked it up on YouTube. But that’s got nothing to do with this ridiculous non-story.
I think he was a Jewnitor.
Your continued defense of Dear Reader is beyond stupid.
RE: IMF--Who are the going to go to, the Intergallactic Monetary Fund??
Anyway, about this Jew nonsense, if it's a real story, Drudge will headline it in red. If it's a jokey non-story, he MIGHT do a small side link.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Most everyone confuses the words 'janitor' and 'Jew' when they're tired./s
You can't be serious, can you?
I’m not defending him at all. I’m just anti-nonsense.
I can’t see a potato without thinking of Quayle. So now I won’t be able to see a janitor without thinking jew.
That was what Rick Perry said, and got lampooned by SNL. Sooo, maybe now SNL will lampoon Obama for being tired, too.
Perhaps you’ll remember the “non-story” of Daddy Bush expressing surprise at seeing a supermarket checkout scanner?
You are not dense, are you pretending then? The MSM chooses for you what is a “non-story” and what is a “story”. They chose “potatoe” to be a story of national significance. It is remembered by many, if not most of us here. They will choose for you and me and the nation that the Messiah’s Freudian anti-semitic slip is a “non-story”.
I hate janitors! Send them all to the ovens!
I missed the Perry/SNL thing. I doubt they’ll lampoon the 0ne but thanks for your clarification. I appreciate it.
I don’t know how they did this, but I just heard this quote on the radio and (in this version) he smoothly said “plumber”. Seriously.
What is happening to this country?
I bet the word on the tip of his tongue was jizya or whatever the word is that means the tax that infidels pay to their Moslem overlords.
Yeah, Barry...you’re the “champion” of class warfare. We get it.
What radio station / network? If they tried to sanitize his gaffe, it’ll turn into an even bigger story. Please forward any info to Drudge, Breitbart, and anyone else who can make good use of it.
That’s scary. What station...All Barak Channel?
