god you guys are such sheep. are you actually going to sit there and claim he's saying "no video games" or anything even close?

try reading the quote and if you have half a brain you can understand that A. he's saying kids shouldn't be playing games 24/7 instead of going outside, which i support, and B. it's a comment in passing, filler speech, it doesn't mean anything.

Drama queens.

The quote out of his speech (which you should have posted in the OP) didn't in any way say anything negative about video games. Was just a simple example.

As much as i dislike obama, nothing wrong here, move one. HE said people are fat and shoudln't be, I concur.

I think I should start a Non-Politically Aligned Political Party.

We are opposed to all political parties, because they're all corrupt bastards.
