I'm glad you're laughing at the end of that post because it's so wildly ridiculous that it's impossible to take seriously.

But back to the original topic:

Obama was a huge fan of email, facebook, myspace, twitter, and every other form of social networking that was delivered via electronic means while he was running for President, yet now it's a distraction and users need to think more critically of the information that they received via these methods?

Pretty ironic that he thinks that NOW and not during his campaign, but then again, it was the non-critical thinking sheeple that got him elected so it is understandable.


Revenge of the Nerds V: Techies Take on Obama!
A day after President Obama’s rant against high-tech gizmos like the iPads and iPods, geeks fought back with a fusillade of online blasts at the BlackBerry-buff-in-chief for dissing their toys.
Obama’s Sunday convocation speech at Hampton University in Virginia — where he called out digital devices and blogs for being a “distraction” and putting “new pressure on our country and on our democracy” — hit the techie world like a computer virus.
Fuming bloggers blasted Obama’s advice as misguided, and accused him of being hypocritical for rapping the very tools that helped get him elected.

President Barack Obama.

“Telling the next generation to turn off their information appliances and to disengage from their knowledge flows is doing them a disservice,” Kevin Gamble wrote on HighTouch.
“We can only hope those young people ... were busy reading their feeds on their smart phones, and that they filtered out the president’s bad advice.” Stowe Boyd, a social-media blogger, couldn’t figure out why Obama would pick technology, of all things, to tee off on.
“We have a world in chaos — ecological mess, wars, a wounded economy, unemployment — and he decides to warn college seniors about overuse of shiny mobile devices?” he wrote on his blog, Stowe Boyd and the /Messengers.
In his speech, Obama warned that “with iPods and iPads and 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.”
The White House yesterday explained yesterday that “the president’s point was that technology offers this generation limitless opportunities and it is up to the individual if he or she will use these advancements simply for entertainment or as tools of empowerment that, when combined with their educations, will keep America at the forefront of technological advancement in the 21st century.”
Obama’s words of warning on the popular gadgets and social media surprised many, especially in light of his successful use of online tools in the 2008 election.
The then-presidential candidate tapped into Facebook and MySpace to attract supporters, and, as president, Obama has boosted the White House’s online presence with Twitter, Flickr and YouTube. At the Apple Store in the Meatpacking District, many customers wondered why Obama’s love affair with technology had cooled. “I guess he doesn’t want to get re-elected,” joked Jodi Sholinsky, 46 of Manhattan.

The more you blindly follow and defend everything that Obama says and does the more your credibility is destroyed. I think you've finally gotten your point across, it's a waste of time to discuss anything Obama related with you.

I already knew what your point was and I agree "it's a waste of time to discuss anything Obama related with you".

Funny how the saw cuts both ways isn't it..........
It ain't fair but that's life. So get over it already.
