Obama Hates Xbox 360

Burnout Obama

Obama’s a fanboy…..pphhssssttt. Lame.

President Obama’s prepared remarks to the nation’s schoolchildren, scheduled to be delivered Tuesday, were released in written form today so that parents could review them and make sure he wouldn’t be saying anything they didn’t want their kids to hear. The release was also meant to placate Obama’s opponents, who have expressed concern that the speech would give him an unfair opportunity to advance a political agenda. But after seeing the text, maybe Microsoft should be the one objecting.

“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 will say, according to the text of the speech. “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.” Hey, what about the Nintendo Wii?

Obama Campaigning in Video Games

According to a recent Gamespot article, Barack Obama has done something no other presidential candidate has ever done.  As we speak, Obama is running campaign ads in 18 different EA games across 10 different states that allow early voting.  The ads are said to target men ages 18-34.  Well, they definitely chose the right advertising medium to accomplish that goal, right guys?  The ads will run up to the eve of the general election.

What about John McCain you ask?  The same advertising company that worked with Obama approached John McCain who passed on the opportunity.

The list of the 10 states after the jump.
