Awesome...... Best one I have seen in a long time.

Democratic presidential candidate nominee Barack Obama hasn't made major claims about the content video games like his rival Hilary Clinton has in the past, but he's definitely been mentioning them. According to GamePolitics.com, Obama's been using video games as a metaphor for underachievement throughout his campaign speeches.

Many of his campaign speeches have contained advice for parents to get kids to "put away the video games." This isn't anything new, either. GamePolitics.com also points out that he's been talking about video games and underachievement in the same breath since April 2006.

In his victory speech in Wisconsin last night, Obama reiterated this sentiment:

I know how hard it will be to alleviate poverty that has built up over centuries, how hard it will be to fix schools, because changing our schools will require not just money, but a change in attitudes.

We're going to have to parent better, and turn off the television set, and put the video games away, and instill a sense of excellence in our children, and that's going to take some time.


I'm fairly certain my prime minister doesn't know what a video game is, so for now, Canada is safe. But it's scary when a potential leader of a country so passively attributes video games with failure. It sounds like yet another instance of a politician not fully understanding what he's talking about, and jumping on the bandwagon, proliferating the popular sentiment that "video games are evil."

Politicians: Obama Sees Gamers as Underachievers

Just another reason not to vote for this sum bitch. Why is it, politicians jump on the bash video games, wagon when they are running for office or when they want attention? I cant wait to see who this idiot is gonna pick to be his running partner. Any ideas on who is on his list. ?

Obama, I liked you!!

If politicians want our votes, they should state that they enjoy video games.

Hell, release some commercial on G4(so as to not spook all the old people who are busy watching TV Land) that shows someone playing CounterStrike or HALO or some other immediately recognizable game(obviously one where you play a hero, not a criminal like GTA) on an RV or plane or something. Then have the camera swivel around and holy shit it's a Presidential candidate, grinning their damn head off.

And end with the text: "What [name] does in his/her downtime on the campaign trail." And plaster the campaign logo up too.

I'm willing to bet it'd influence a few people.

Screw that white black muslim fag. Him and Hitlery can kiss my ass.

I think I may just sit this election out. No real change is going to happen anyways...(cept maybe for Iraq, but who really cares about that anyways ).

that really isnt a smart move....he just called a helluva lot of potential voters underachievers

you are offended by his lack of approval for video games? how old are you?

anyways, I wouldn't jump the gun and call all gamers "underachievers" , but there's no argument that sitting in front of a screen for hours is productive.
