Talk about playing the race card

Obama has a Freudian slip during a speech today,

The White House Transcript:

"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."

The Actual Speech:

"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." 


We can only hope that this was a mistake made by someone who has to talk a lot.

However, recent comments from Democratic supporters have taken to calling Tea Party members, "Racists". There may be a few in the Tea Party, but it is not defined by them, they are every where and are not specific to the Tea Party.

This of course would not be the first time that the people of the Jewish faith have been blamed for economic crisis I do believe that was a central theme in the propaganda that started a World War.

From my research, it seems people of the Jewish faith over the centuries have fared well is largely due to the fat that while most people over the past centuries were uneducated, it was mandatory for every Jewish child to learn how to read, something that many others did not and clearly was an advantage, but not something evil.

I'll chalk this up to a gaffe, but I sincerely hope in my heart this is not our president's view. Israel already faces increased danger because of the Arab Spring and how governments that are not making good on their promises such as Egypt, will seek to set the people against an outside enemy and foster nationalism in order to take the spotlight off their own misdeeds and lies. This is a topic I covered in great detail many months ago and predicted that the Egyptian government, who was going to overthrow Mubarak any way before the Arab Spring even started, would not keep their promise of free, democratic elections within 6 months. The problem is simple, the Egyptian military is the real government there since Nasser, they wanted Mubarak out because the military chooses the leaders from within the military, Mubarak himself being a former high ranking air force member. When they heard that Mubarak was grooming his son to succeed him, they already planned to over throw him, the Arab Spring just gave them the cover to do it and ultimately it wasn't the people that overthrew Mubarak, it was the military. So should we believe that they are now ready and willing to relinquish power through free and fair democratic elections? No.  The people will rise again, it has already started and Egypt will continue down the path of hostility toward Israel and hope to distract the Egyptian population and create nationalism that backs the military government against a perceived enemy of greater threat, Israel.

I have many great Jewish friends and have the utmost respect for them and their faith. Just look at the selfless dedication of every member of Israeli society in serving their country, man and woman.
