Since Obama Has Nothing Better To Do With His Time He Weighs In On Whether The Redskins Should Change Their Name

WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) — President Barack Obama says he would “think about changing” the Washington Redskins’ name if he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word that many consider offensive to Native Americans.Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend “a sizable group of people.” He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place. “I don’t know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things,” he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday. An avid sports fan, Obama said he doesn’t think Washington football fans are purposely trying to offend American Indians. “I don’t want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team and rightly so,” he said.Email messages to team spokesman Tony Wyllie and general manager Bruce Allen were not immediately returned Saturday.

Fucking Obama huh? Hey newsflash dude. The fucking government is shut down. Nobody wants to hear your opinion on the Redskins or anything not directly related to fixing the fucking government. Seriously the balls on this guy. Just shooting the breeze talking about the Skins like everything is normal. It’s infuriating. And it’s not even that I give a shit that the Government is shut down either. It’s just embarrassing that they can’t figure it out and think it’s okay to show their faces in public. Bottomline is I don’t want to hear a peep out of any elected official until the shit is figured out period. Wake up idiots.
