Obama: Videogames are ‘pressuring the country’

In a speech to college graduate students, President Barack Obama has made clear his opinion on consoles and videogames.

“With iPods and iPads; Xboxes and PlayStations — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation,” Obama said.

“All of this is not only putting new pressures on you. It is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy,” Obama said.

Déjà vu anyone?

Last year the President spoke out against video game, calling them a ‘health concern’. You can see just what GamingBolt thinks of that in our editorials.
