Jews are merchants, I should have such stereotypes.

The joke actually pokes fun in a subtle way at the stereotype, I'll bet there were many Jewish people laughing along with the joke. You hate Obama so much that you can't see the forest through the trees.

YouTube - jones joke
Hearing about someone from the 0bama administration who is a communist, socialist, radical, anti-Semite, admirer of Chairman Mao, a racist, bigot or speaks disparagingly about America, Christians, religion in general, but speaks kindly of Islam and Muslims.... all I have to say it it does not surprise me, I expect it.

Does it surprise you that Gen. Jones is a close personal friend of John McCain and was on the stump for him when he ran for president?

Another non-surprise, considering obama has filled his administration with anti-Israel staff.

Anti-Defamation League: National Security Adviser Jones Told “Inappropriate, Stereotypic” Joke About Jewish Merchant - Political Punch

Quote:
While many in the largely Jewish audience laughed, others didn’t find it so funny, including Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith.

“It's inappropriate,” Foxman told ABC News. “it's stereotypic.
Quote:
The joke was not in the transcript of the remarks that the White House provided, which you can read HERE. The White House had no response to questions about the joke, nor did anyone explain why the joke wasn’t in the official transcript.
Now, WHY would the WH leave that joke out of the official transcript?

The 0bama administration promotes and encourages people to act inappropriate, to let their hair down and act out their bias, bigotry, racism etc... So I'm never surprised to hear someone who works for 0bama to adopt this type of inappropriateness.

Not only that, but he has given the palestinians, Iranians, Syrians an opportunity to do and say and refuse to negotiate because of his unprecedented behavior toward Israel.

Abbas wants obama to impose a "solution" - they are no longer interested in negotiations and that can be laid right at the feet of obama.
