That's what he's trying to imply. Please, stop playing strawman.

Hmm yeah they ar distractions - it helps common people get through the week knowing they work all the hours paying loads of taxes because the government doesnt moderate wha tthe banks are upto.

At the end of the day they are intended as entertainment devices. They generate huge amounts of sales / revenue and sales tax.

This is a big problem in my home country where anything some lonely guy in his mom's basement writes in his blog is quickly taken as the ultimate truth and it;s really annoying and stupid

What a turd, entertainment is the spice of life.

No mention of the Wii? Is it that he knows how to use that one, or is it the lack of any really online functionality, Monster Hunter Tri excluded.

Oh please that marxist Obama needs to shut his trap or wait his approval ratings are like that of Bush and will be lower by summers end. You can have my entertainment when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

What about the Blackberry? or only the devices he doesn't know how to work are distractions? One can understand it like this...

Fine, now Steve Jobs is going to throw another tantrum. Just what we needed.

 

[chickenhoagie]

so i guess what obama is saying is that we should just go back to watching "i Love Lucy" on the TV, for entertainment.

Steve Jobs is gonna make Obama appologize to apple, just wait. That will be the begining of Jobs takeover, when the president submits to it.

 

[cbrei10213]

That has been the comment of a man sitting at a computer at work... Take it as the ultimate truth

B.S......

What are you all talking about? The systems he named ARE distractions. Distractions from an awesome home-built PC made by us enthusiasts at Tom's Hardware. iPad? iPod? Consoles? Childrens toys

 

[pkellmey]

At least we stopped paying attention that he has done substantially little for the economy.

 

[Rancifer7]

So video games are a distraction? This just in; the oceans are wet and rather salty..

Another lie from Obama, "I don't know how to use a iPod. He gave one to the Queen of England. He also one himself along with his crackberry, "You Lie!"

Wait for it. Obama's going to push a "portable tech" tax.
