Obama bashes our "toys" (ipad/ipod/ps3/360)

I don't see the big deal. He makes sense. I don't see kids playing in the streets like I used to as a kid. Now they are all stuck online playing MW2 against everyone else.

I agree...of course I' don't know that I'd want my kids to be playing in the streets nowadays, and I live in a relatively "safe" small town. If I caught my kids doing some of the things I spent my summer days doing, hmmm...not sure what I'd do. You just cant let them ride their bikes all over town anymore.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit overprotective but if I had kids I wouldn't let them go around town unsupervised even in a suburb. There are so many child predators proudly displaying their pedophilia it just scares the crap out of me. Things like NAMbLA make me so scared for the kids in my family.

Super off topic haha...

Ironic seeing as how he nearly got in a slap fight with his staff and the Secret Service over his insistence on keeping his Blackberry.

this is the first thing i thought before i even clicked on this thread

He's just bitter because the Secret Service took away his toy.

What toy? He still uses his blackberry, albeit a different, more secure model.

I'm surprised Stevie Jobs hasn't put his foot down on this. Then again, Obama is a Blackberry user so what do you expect?

That's interesting coming from a president who has been on ESPN to fill out an NCAA tourney bracket, SNL and various other media outlets. 24/7 media is the way it is and the way it is going to be. We like to get our news and information in an entertaining way, so what???!
