Barack was speaking as a "candidate" not as the POTUS. He can't be both at the same time.

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.

Anybody with a grain of sense knows that "uh" wasn't used by Obama....

So what is it today? Does this prove he is Muslim? Not a citizen? Racist? Marxist? Against American?

Again, I can't stand "The One" and wish he would get OUT of office ASAP but seriously, people make mistakes when speaking all. the. time.

Why the hell must we jump on every last thing, searching for something to "get them" with.

This is just as stupid as those who wouldn't let it go when Bush pronounced nuclear differently that what most people pronounce it as.

In other words, please. As I said in another post, St. Hope and Change screws up enough without us needing to resort to such frivolous "stabs".

If you didn't like it when the Dems did it, don't do it as well. It makes you no better than those you say you don't like.
