Microsoft responds to Obama's "put away the Xbox" comment |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Excel, Microsoft, xbox 360 titles

Here's what Obama said:
To parents, we canÂ’t tell our kids to do well in school and fail to support them when they get home. For our kids to excel, we must accept our own responsibilities. That means putting away the Xbox and putting our kids to bed at a reasonable hour. It means attending those parent-teacher conferences, reading to our kids, and helping them with their homework...
Here's what Microsoft said:
We agree with President Obama that itÂ’s a time for families to work together so that kids use media in ways that are safe, healthy and balanced. Xbox 360 is the only console gaming system that has a timer feature allowing parents to set time limits for their kids, as well as parent controls to enable parents to set limits on what their kids are playing and watching.
Nothing like turning a comment into an advertising opportunity, and I have to give them points for not sounding like Dan Greenwalt when talking about Forza Motorsport 3. As for US president, at least he switches consoles to name drop with every speech.
Obama and video games:
- Obama: Less video games and more playing outside for kids
- Obama to US voters: Stop playing Game Boy
- Obama: Put down your Wiimotes, help make history

Well, normally parents should be able to tell their kids when to shut down the console. and WTF, the second sentence is a pure lie, every console and even the PSP have parent controls now.

But what do you expect from a socialist.

never used it with my ex's kids as you have to be a pretty lame parent to not have someone available to make sure the kids go to bed.

*I liked McCain in some ways, but he was just another neocon
Also, I'd like to add that it's pretty ridiculous that Obama won the election on the basis of promising 'change'. Yes, we all need change, but change is anything different. Is Obama really suggesting that the country COULD NOT be in a worse state than it was in the Bush years? Nazism or communism would be 'change'. The kind of fundamentalist Islamic society Al Qaeda and the Taliban want would be 'change', but these are awful, dystopian, oppressive societies which would make people suddenly want Bush back. I'm not suggesting Obama is any of these things, but the notion of 'change' should not be enough to win an election. And, I don't think Obama had any good convictions that made his change the right kind of change. All he had was getting out of the War on Terror (OK, good), and fundamentally flawed Keynesian economic stimulus ideas. Honestly, in 2012, be careful who you choose, it affects the entire world.

The only reason he won the election is because he is black.
Obama has done a pretty good job wrecking the economy more than it already was.
I don´t think that we should pay any more attention to his dumba·· comments.
Oh yeah and obama··· you should stop putting so much effort into trying to help with kids future because in the future, the kids are going to be paying for all of the money you WASTED.

When infact in this healthcare bill it states: "Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.
So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised %u2014 with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.
Obama you LIAR
