At a campaign stop in Indianapolis Obama attacked Grand Theft Auto 4:
"Now, this isn't intended for kids, although I promise you there are kids who are playing it, but these video games are raising our kids. Across the board, middle-class, upper-class, working-class kids, they're spending a huge amount of their time not on their studies, but on entertainment."
Typical Democrat blaming an inanimate object instead of people: the gun went off and killed him, the drugs made him the way he is, the computer game raises our kids wrong.
Bullshit!
It isn't the computer game that creates bad kids, bad parenting causes bad kids.
Why doesn't Obama blame bad parents for letting their kids have access to adult themed games? because he doesn't want to lose their votes.
Did you watch the entire video or just get to that quote and stop? Obama said in response to questions on his education policies that kids these days, in every economic background, are spending a lot of time immersed in modern-day entertainment, and spending far less on their studies. He then went on to suggest that parents should be finding ways to get their kids more interested in education: giving them a thirst for knowledge that rivals their thirst for violence.
He wasn't "blaming" video games. He was suggesting we pay attention to what our children ARE spending time doing so we can help them become better people.
