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.
In fairness, though, you could interpret the president's gaffe as a positive: Wasn't he just suggesting that for some reason Jews were being unfairly targeted with higher taxes, and he wanted to make billionaires pay the same rate? Maybe, maybe not.
Watch:
"When you start saying, at a time when the top one-tenth of one percent have seen their incomes go up four or five times over the last twenty 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 Jew — as a janitor — makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that as a badge of honor."
:lol:
:lol: Awesomeness!
Please.
Obama is awesome. He gets his message out, then immediately provides himself with cover. Very well played.

It's the Muslim coming out. Billionaires should pay the jizya, just like the dhimmi.
Still, if he's arguing for taxing capital gains as income, that seems reasonable.

:ph34r:
Clearly he was going to say "as a juicemaker." "Janitor" is the actual gaffe.
Dr. Jan Itor?
I would like to hear the actual clip - probably the Jew who wrote this article (it's not like it is some credible news source) is reading too much into it.
Still, would be funny if true. :lol:

There's a video in the original article IIRC. Just follow the link.
The audience members are probably glad they weren't miked. :ph34r:
He said, "Jew" :Joos what a tool.
Can a Jew tax be far off? First billionares then Jews. Where is Hans when one needs an interpretation of what all this means.
If I get to be a billionaire, I'll gladly pay the Jew tax rate. ;)
