Obama’s gaffe the media chose to ignore

Obama confuses Jews with janitors! Imagine if George W. Bush had done that. Front page news and the butt of jokes for weeks along with commentaries about how stupid he is. But of course when it’s a sacred cow like Barack “57 States” Obama, not a word. According to the media, slip of the tongue, no big deal as long as it’s a Democrat, but a Republican, oh he’s stupid and unintelligent, clearly not fit for the presidency. Nobody can deny the outright bias and propaganda peddled as news by the media.

On September 12th I posted a story about how PBS sanitized Obama’s speech. They rewrote it to take the mistakes out. And now straight from the White House themselves there’s more sanitizing.

…according to the White House transcript, the president said:

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.

Umm… not exactly.

Here is what the president actually said, catching himself almost in time but not quite:

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.

The president has been muffing lines all over the place recently. Last week, also peddling his jobs plan at a bridge that won’t qualify, he hailed America’s building of “the Intercontinental Railroad.” You don’t seem to hear much about these gaffes in the media for some reason.

So he made a couple of mistakes, what’s the big deal? I agree. It isn’t anything major, but the point being, if it were George W. Bush or any other Republican…
