#1 If you feel what he said was stupid then that's your right to think it.

#2 Attacking US companies? If you feel he attacked them you have a right
to believe that also. I don't for a minute believe he was attacking American companies.
I believe he was banging the heads of people who use those popular products
we all identify with in order to make a point about allowing those products to control
our lives to the extent that we get nothing beneficial done with our lives.

#3 Mr. Obama "alluded his desire to limit our flow of information"?
That's where the problem with comments like this comes in. I guess you
must believe the Prezz has some conspiracy up his sleeve delivered
in a commencement speech at a college to all Americans.
If you believe that then I'm ready to learn about this conspiracy based on factual evidence. Honestly I just couldn't find it.

Finally if you personally felt that my defining prep school vocabulary words and
implying we are missing the point is simply condescending then I'm sorry
you took it personally. I Don't remember quoting you in my comments.
Be that as it may I stand by my remarks regarding "hyperbole".
It's done all the time by speech writers in order to make a point.

But I'm sure the companies he mentioned will come out fighting
back to defend themselves against this vicious attack..... and
maybe even sue him for slander.

Oh I almost forgot: You want condescending??
I believe characterizing someones comments as "stupid" is about as condescending as one can get..
If you want to impugn someone's intelligence, the options are almost limitless but in the case of
Mr. Obama I don't believe he meets that definition regarding his comments
on this subject.
