Obama, Critic of “Redskins” Name, Posts Pic of Man With Redskins Shirt to Tout ObamaCare
Pundit Press ^ | 2/16/14 | Aurelius

President Obama, who has publicly said that the name "Redskins" is offensive, found no problem publicly posting a picture of the so-called offensive image when it supports his name-sake health care law.

Earlier this week, President Obama tweeted a new ad for the Affordable Care Act:

Obama Redskins

Under normal circumstances, this would just be another ad that touts ObamaCare. However, late in 2013, President Obama waded into the controversy surrounding the name "Redskins" for Washington's NFL team, slamming the name as offensive "to a sizable group of people."

He went further, saying, "I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things."

Sort of. Obastardcare trumps races that aren’t black.

ObamaCare is a tough sell to intelligent, thinking people. They know a scam and con game when they see one. Barry, being a lifelong snake oil salesman, will do whatever takes, even offend Indians, to pimp that BS.

They could have easily photoshopped out the logo. You or I would HAVE to, just to avoid potential lawsuits from the NFL. The White House just isn't that smart.

Just like all the leftists, not really offended, just want to suppress other people’s expression.
