A Slip of the Tongue

Mr. Obama might a slight verbal gaffe while talking to the Congressional Black Caucus over the weekend:

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.

I'm not sure how one confuses the two words (other than they both start with "J"). I suspect Mr. Obama was more rattled by the NY-9 election that he is letting on. But regardless, the optics of it don't look particularly good (especially given the long Anti-Semitic tirades regarding Jews and money).
