SCHIEFFER: I -- I want to play something here. I almost forgot about this. The president was asked during an interview if he thought the Washington Redskins ought to change their name. Here -- and here's what he said.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: You know, I don't think there are any Redskins fans that mean offense. I've got to say, 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 sizable group of people, I'd think -- I'd think about changing it.
SCHIEFFER: What's your reaction -- reaction to that?
IFILL: I don't cover sports, so I can say...
No, I call it the Washington football team. I don't use the name anymore because I think it's unnecessarily offense and what's the point? I have a lot of friends who are big Washington football team fans who are not happy with me about this.
But I -- I just don't understand what the point is. I know it's a nickname. What's the point?
SCHIEFFER: What about you, Dana?
MILBANK: Needless to say, he's on the front page of my newspaper with those remarks this morning. I think it's a fine point that the president should not be making in the middle of a crisis.
IFILL: It was the last question in an interview...
Got that Mr. President? You're not allowed to answer any questions about sports as long as this GOP hostage taking continues.
