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."

Interestingly, the thing that he finds so offensive it a-okay when it's pushing his political agenda. Even odder, the Redskins' official twitter account actually responded to the President's tweet:
