The Obama administration on Wednesday announced the launch of a new video game designed to teach foreign students about American life, language and culture.

"Students explore American culture through puzzles, activities, and adventures in an interactive world," the State Department announced in a release.

"Through the game, students take a virtual journey through the United States, traveling to locations,

Because we don’t have a spending problem!

If Zero’s people made it, you can bet that it’s one lie after another... a la how Islam had a long and storied history in the USA.

It would all depend on what is being taught in the video game. If it’s historically accurate and is generally positive, I’m ok with it.

It’s better to assimilate foreigners than not to, by any means possible.

“”Through the game, students take a virtual journey through the United States, traveling to locations”

Does that mean ALL 57 STATES?

Probably trains foreign players which cities welcome illegal aliens and gives them driver’s licenses, where the best places are to get free health care, and so forth.

Also trains them how to vote twice without registering. Also, how to collect social security and food stamps without ever working.

Game Title: European White Guilt Trip Through Time. Paid for by “rich”, white European taxpayers.

Ddoes the virtual welcome packet include an application for government assistance? Just curious.

Hoo boy, this will end well. I can see the time periods now:

1. Indians living in peace and harmony.
2. Evil white men show up, with slaves.
3. Desolation begins as white men destroy nature, Indians, and barter system via industrialization and capitalism.
4. The south rebels because of slavery.
5. The social justice President Lincoln frees the slaves and orders lots of white men to kill each other via the draft.
6. Lincoln is martyred.
7. Woodrow Wilson creates the Fed for social and economic justice and continues the draft to keep things fair.
8. Teddy busts the monopolies for social and economic justice.
9. FDR, rightful king of this land, enacts social and economic reform and continues the draft to keep things fair.
10. Vietnam begins and it's bad because we shouldn't fight communism. Also, the draft, a SOCIALIST idea, is suddenly bad.
11. We pull out of Vietnam because of social courage on the part of draft dodgers and commies.
12. Carter tries to save us during the oil crisis, but evil capitalists stop him.
13. Reagan enters office and everything is ruined for 8 years, 12 if you count Bush's term.
14. Clinton enters office and everything is GREAT until 1994. Economy improves a lot and it has NOTHING to do with the dot-com boom.
15. Dubya steals his first election. Also, we're attacked, but we deserved it for our arrogance.
16. Dubya steals his second election and destroys the economy.
17. Savior Obama arrives, but the nasty, mean capitalists keep fighting him. This level is 30 hours long.
18. Present day.

Perhaps the game could investigate whatever happened to the tenth amendment?

I’m seeing Dave Chappelle’s ‘Time Traveling Playa Haters’ in my cartoon bubble.

So he's time traveling to try to stop Obamacare? By the year 2045 life expectancy has dropped to 35 years and you can only get health care if you are on a Congressman's personal approval list (and getting on that list isn't cheap).

Next thing you know they’re going to have the military training against actors dressed like “zombies” ... oh ... wait ... :(

We know it won't be. Just a question of how negative it will be.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.
