| Obama Gaffes, Says Billionaires Should Pay the Same Tax Rate 'As A Jew' |
| 2011-09-26 |
And then corrects himself -- "janitor" was the word he was looking for. This clip is from his speech to the Congressional Black Caucus over the weekend."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! Freudian slip or...just a slip? Given the hostility this president has shown Israel, the shunning of the Jewish community, the embracing of muslim ideas and culture, his own childhood background... I don't think it was just a slip, and it fits like a glove into the antisemitism of the left. |

| #17 The problem is, when a slipup like this does occur, it indicates what the person is thinking unconsciously. |

| #16 For once, I wouldn't make too much out of it. Judge your president by his deeds, not by his verbal slips. I think I had worse than this one. |

| #15 Actually, there are two over-generalizations there. |

| #14 When will the Jews in this country realize the Left wants first the Middle East and then the US to be Judenfrei? That's a gross overgeneralization, Shieldwolf. You're smarter than that. |

| #13 The odd thing is that the President was suggesting that millionaires were paying a smaller tax rate than Jews. So, we Jews are paying too much, which means we're suckers, instead of being cunning tax-minimizers. May 5772 be different for us. L'Shana Tova. |

| #12 Maybe he'd settle for them paying the same rate as a white interloper in Hymietown. The "reverends" Sharpton and Jackson could be on the Blue Ribbon commission to figure it all out... |

| #11 When will the Jews in this country realize the Left wants first the Middle East and then the US to be Judenfrei? The Left started it in Germany {National SOCIALIST Workers Party} and has tried to continue its direction in the Middle East. |

| #9 Roosevelt himself was reluctant to issue visas to the Jews who were desperate to leave Germany in the 1930's Read about the MS St. Louis |

| #8 Kinda like his remarks about Pennsylvania voters clinging bitterly to their guns, etc., to San Francisco donors. Also consider the Pennsylvania who shrugged off this insult, as will many Jews who just love Obama. |

| #7 Freudian slip orÂ…just a slip? Kinda like his remarks about Pennsylvania voters clinging bitterly to their guns, etc., to San Francisco donors. The excuse given was that he was merely "talking to them in their language". |

| #6 You read that too (Garden of the Beasts)? Yeah: it was specifically bad because of how much American debt the Germans were carrying. The Roosevelt Administration was freaking terrified of the Nazis defaulting on all that debt. It was a lot more important to them than a few Jews getting oppressed. And what happened? Millions died and they defaulted anyhow. Moral cowardice seldom pays. |

| #5 One thing I found interesting when I recently read The Garden of the Beasts is that Roosevelt himself was reluctant to issue visas to the Jews who were desperate to leave Germany in the 1930's when they were facing increasing persecution under the NAZIs. That venerable old Democrat tried to silence Jewish groups in this country who were speaking out about Hitler because it was "bad for business". |

| #4 The Left can spin this all they like. The Jewish community knows this man is not their friend. |

| #3 Everyone should pay the same income tax (and that means sales taxes too). Zero. |

| #2 He wouldn't have been thinking of George Soros, would he? Nah. |

| #1 Maybe he meant the Jewnitor. |
