In a slip of the tongue, Gov. Bobby Jindal briefly referred to “Obamneycare,” the mocking label Republican opponents of Mitt Romney in the GOP primaries used to describe the Affordable Care Act, in a call promoting Romney’s efforts to repeal the bill.

“Theres only one candidate, Governor Romney, who has committed that he will repeal the Obamney–” he said, before catching himself, “the Obamacare tax increase.”

Jindal was a supporter of Texas governor Rick Perry in the primaries.
