THE PRESIDENT: You know, Julie, obviously, people get pretty attached to team names, mascots. I don't think there are any Redskins fans that mean offense. I've got to say that if I were the owner of the team and I knew that there was a name of my team -- even if it had a storied history -- that was offending a sizeable group of people, I'd think about changing it.
But I don't want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team, and rightly so -- even though they've been having a pretty tough time this year. But I think -- all these mascots and team names related to Native Americans, Native Americans feel pretty strongly about it. And I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real, legitimate concerns that people have about these things.

News from The Associated Press
I believe what he is really saying is he doesn't care that much. But he has to engage the question, I suppose. If for no other reason then so a bunch of idiot rwnj's can come on here and cry about it.
Babies.

Me to Obama: If it took just one vote you'd no longer be president.
I`ll assume that you`re a youngster that`s unaware that this issue has been a topic for discussion for at least 3 decades ( 30 years).

If you can sort of read between the lines (I know you can't), he doesn't really care about this.

I'll admit however that I do take joy in the fact that this issue is bringing up a lot rwnj's blood pressure.
