So we care what the people think?

President Obama decided he would insert himself into the naming issue of the Washington Redskins that continues to show up from time to time.  This time he claims "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 at The White House.

As I have previously discussed about this issue, this is a topic this seems to show up when we need a diversion from say real issues, but this being the President and all, I will listen up.  Afterall, if he is concerned about what people think about issues, perhaps we should look at recent polling on Obamacare, or even the Affordable Care Act - which is showing itself to be anything but affordable for the average family.

According to some families, the ACA is thought to be a bad idea by 44 percent of those polled versus just 31 percent of those who thought it was a good idea.  The numbers are even more drastic, 45 to 23 when you ask whether or not the ACA will have a positive impact on the nation's health care.  So...if it is really polling you want Mr. President, let's have that conversation, but your signature achievement would end up getting turned over - probably as quickly as the Redskins are doing this year with their turn over issues.

As usual the President seems more interested in being a celebrity President than a leader President.  Another sad day for the American populace.
