Obama gaffe: President says billionaires should pay ‘Jew’ tax rate [on Video]
DailyCaller.com ^ | 9/26/11

Posted on 09/26/2011 5:15:43 AM PDT by NativeNewYorker

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.

We have to remember that in this talk he was modeling himself on one of his mentors, the putrid Rev. Wright, and I think he was used to hearing phrases like “billionaire Jews” and other anti-Jewish slurs come trippingly off this “pastor’s” tongue. Oviously, one of these Jew-baiting phrases surfaced in Bambi’s Magic 8-Ball mind, probably triggered by the word “billionaire,” and just simply bubbled forth. So while he probably wasn’t thinking of anything in particular when he said this, it seems to me that we heard a bit of the soundtrack that is always playing in his head.

That's entirely possible.

Dear Barack (you do know you were named after a HORSE, don’t you?):

FU!

A Jew (who is most assuredly not a billionaire - not even a millionaire).

P.S. Just so that your small and poor excuse for a mind gets it, FUBO! FUBO! FUBO!

It sounds like he was not misreading his teleprompter.

When he's off teleprompter he lacks his smooth reading style and mangles things.

Last week he called the transcontinental railroad the intercontinental railroad.

Also last week, he said Buffett's secretary should not pay lower taxes than her boss. I think only Mark Levin picked up on that flub.

Our youth have been taught these types of slips are revelatory, that they uncover a racist mindset.

Bush's way with words became "proof" of his stupidity. Quayle reading a flashcard's incorrect spelling of potato became an anchor around his neck. Perry's managed debate answer may have killed his campaign.

Ingraham spent an hour on his CBC speech and the dropped "g's" and didn't mention this slip.

Consistent with his religion? Isn’t there a tax upon the people of the book?

I noticed that as well. I'm not sure. Do we have Obama supporters among the sidebar mods? Sometimes I wonder, based on what gets pulled or reclassified from "news" to "blogs" or "chat."

An insult to horses, no matter how you look at it.

In my opinion, one could equate Obama’s slip of the tongue or Freudian slip as whipping up the masses against Jews to what took place in Germany the the early 1930’s. Jews have been easy targets for thousands of years due to the fact that they were educated, merchants, and had money compared to the average person at the time. Pitting the “haves” with the “have nots” is a favorite in the Liberal playbook which is being used today by this Administration and Liberals in Congress.

Liberal Jews better re-read their history books and wake up before they, like millions of Jews throughout history, find themselves in the cross hairs of dictators and tyrants (witness this Administration’s policies against Israel). We all better be equally as aware.

IMO, we have evidence to conclude that Liberals and their accomplices have become the tyrants of today.

It's no slip of the tongue, it's desperation and it will get worse.

Here's him going after Perry:

“Some of you here may be folks who actually used to be Republicans but are puzzled by what's happened to that party, are puzzled by what's happening to that party. I mean, has anybody been watching the debates lately? You've got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change,” Obama said in San Jose.

My feelings exactly!!! Obama, IMHO is the Hitler of our time!!! Jews, Whites and Black Christians, that’s his target. If African Muslim, Obama ever got total power over life and death, he would make Hitler, Stalin, Franco, Chavez, Castro, Mao, Hussein, Gaddafi, Idi Amin, his Muslim Brotherhood brethren, Mussolini, Assad, etc. look like beginners. This guy Obama and...his wife, Michelle are true haters to their very core of being!!! That any American Jew or Black American Christian supports this guy, Obama, is beyond reasonable, responsible. pragmatic comprehension!!! Go figure!!!

I hear you.

Of course, the Patriots on FR expose this fraud every day. And I am sure “Big Brother” is taking down names.

A few people have tried but they have been marginalized by the “machine”.

We need more than one, or even a few. We Need a MOVEMENT.

I believe in my heart that the Tea Party can provide this “Movement”. But all of us must be willing to face whatever they can do to us.

I am reminded of the very special people who stood up to the Nazis in their own way...Rev. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Corrie Ten Boom, Oscar Schindler, and all the people who have trees named for them on the Avenue of the Righteous.

G-d is not mocked,ETR.

This slip was made, because whatever flows out of the mouth of man originates in the heart.

Rev. Wright and Louie Farrakhan are best buds, and both hate Jewish people.

Obama evidently heard something sitting under Rev. Wright for 20 years, and it wasn’t “Kumbaya”.

” Liberal Jews better re-read their history books and wake up before they, like millions of Jews throughout history, find themselves in the cross hairs of dictators and tyrants (witness this Administration’s policies against Israel). We all better be equally as aware. “

This is one thing I will never understand about American Jews. I grew up in an upper middle class to wealthy suburb of Boston (Newton, Massachusetts), and at least 1/3 of the population was Jewish. Most of my close friends were Jewish, as I was in all (AP)Advanced Placement courses in high school, and the Jewish kids comprised about 60% of all my classes. I only know of one aside from me who voted for Nixon(Gary F, and God has blessed him in life). The rest all voted for the Marxist, George McGovern.

Folks, most of these high school classmates of mine came from wealthy families. Why would they vote for a man who, given the chance, would clean their clocks????

Thanks for the ping, ETR.

It’s too bad that the LA Times had to bury that Obama-Rashid Khalidi tape before the election- it would’ve woken people up a lot sooner to who this man really is. One can only imagine what he said when he didn’t know the tape was rolling...

Definitely a Freudian slip. He could have been thinking of the "Jew tax" (i.e., dhimmi tax) imposed on Jews in Muslim countries for centuries, or had Jews on his perverse mind after his dealings with Netanyahu and Abbas at the UN last week, or had been speaking to Rev. Wright or listening to tapes of Wright's inane antisemitic sermons. He took his eyes off the trusty teleprompter for a moment, thinking he could relax and ad lib in front of a friendly black audience, and it bit him.

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.
