HAMPTON, Virginia — US President Barack Obama lamented Sunday that in the iPad and Xbox era, information had become a diversion that was imposing new strains on democracy, in his latest critique of modern media.

Dittos!!

Obama reminds me of your typical marxist college professor, who has to have an opinion on EVERYTHING! And EVERY OPINION that the marxist prof utters....always has the bottom line of: ‘America and Americans bad...every other country better’...lol!

"And didn’t his whole Presidential campaign run on “new media”??????"

Correctamundo. He loves it when the chatter is going his way.

Lord this man is such a self absorbed fool.

So I guess his solution would be LET THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL things.

[ConservativeMan55]

That way we would be FORCED to listen to his message.

in the iPad and Xbox era, information had become a diversion that was imposing new strains on democracy his ability to indoctrinate everyone with his commie propaganda

[ConservativeMan55]

Exactly....

Says the lying media whore.

[ConservativeMan55]

He won’t ban it outright. He’ll tax the hell out of all video games and ipods.

Obama’s intelligence is aptly described by Ambrose Bierce in the Devil’s Dictionary:

ERUDITION, n.—Dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull.

The mullah/politburo member/great leader always gets special perks. The question is whether Apple can stay in business by selling Ipods to about 1000 people. Maybe Bambi will take over Apple next.

I’m not sure he’s so stupid and that’s the scary part.

[Right Wing Assault]

Yeah, what’s wrong with these kids? Why aren’t they hanging around with commie pedophiles and smoking weed like he did in the good old days?

“I invented the i-Pod”. -B. Obama, November 1, 2010

I read Bierce's definition as satire of highly educated people who are full of claptrap. Obama is one of them, just listen to the inanities of his speech. But I agree he is not stupid, and he is dangerous.

[Carling]

He throws Microsoft and Apple under the bus, and makes sure to throw A Japanese country in there as well.

Hey Barry, just stop with the social commentary if you have an ounce of self-preservation. The only reason most of America still doesn't realize the you're a total disaster is because they are distracted by their IPods, IPads, and X-Boxes.

bump for later

“With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation,” Obama said. ...”!

Yep, all that pesky information in the hands of the little people. LOL

I think I heard that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the same thing last summer :(

Obama gave a DISTRACTION to the Queen.
