Obama Comments on GTA IV

In a recent speech, Barack mentioned IV, in the proper way, reminding parents and others that it is our responsibility to raise our children, not Games or the Television:

I was just catching the news this morning about , this video game, which is gonna break all records and make goo-gobs of money for whoever designed it.

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.

And so part of our job is going to have to be to inspire the entire country to say, ‘How are we giving our kids a thirst for knowledge?

And turning off the TV set, and getting them to be engaged and interested, like their future really does matter on how well they do in school.

Wha, huh? Wait a minute, a politician just said something about violence in media that actually made sense? Mark this one down folks, this guy actually gets it, and that’s just one of many reasons he has my vote in the fall.
