Obama Disses Xbox Again

[Demon_Skeith]

I've stood by and watched while president Obama gave up on the public option in the healthcare overhaul, and I even support his Marxist takeover of The United States of Amerikka, but with this morning's speech to our nation's school kids, Obama has finally gone too far. Obama has dissed the Xbox -- again!

"Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility. I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn," Obama said this morning in his address to the youth of the country. "I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox," Obama said.

Obama has been flogging the "ZOMG! Turn off your Xbox!" line since before he was Supreme Dictator of the U.S., So I can only conclude that the president is a PS3 fanboy, either that or it's a coded, political "dog whistle" statement aimed at people sill using the original Xbox. He didn't' say put down the 360, after all. But either way, this aggression will not stand, man.

Obama went on to namedrop the iPhone, but not in a negative wa.

I guess obama didn't get the warnings from the first diss.

I don't honestly think it was against the Xbox itself but instead of video games in general. Xbox is just the shortest and easiest to say out of all the systems and "video games". When people write speeches, they try to use words that flow well together.

Just my $.02

I agree,plus it is probably the most well known game console.

Xbox is also the most popular console in the US since people spend a lot of time on Halo. Plus, it sound weird if Obama said, "stop playing with your Wiis, and do your school work."

It is like saying what's on your Ipod instead of saying" what's on your mp3 player since a lot of people own ipods, so a lot of people hardly say MP3 player anymore.

I've known people, and all i here is with playstation, i said its a xbox and they say whatever that is, i know way more people that say playstation then xbox. Probably because PS2 is so big and that everyone prolly has one.
