President Obama addressing the NAACP on its 100th anniversary, stressing the importance of parenting and responsibility. “That means putting away the X-Box.”
He adds that “we need to go back to the day when parents saw somebody foolin’ around – it wasn’t your child, but… they’ll whoop you anyway… Or at least they’ll tell your parents…”

Actually Obama …
Actually Obama didn’t meant he hates the Xbox.
he said “That means putting away the X-Box.” as if he was saying “stop playing video games” but in another phrase.
The reason he choose the XBOX was that its the most popular gaming console in the USA, and to attract people to his speech.
so don’t get it wrong 360 fans……… btw I’m BIG PS3 fanboy !
Wow, everyone is …
.
Wow, everyone is forgeting Nintendo Wii here
I should say that I agree with Voidkeeper here.
the problem is that …
the problem is that it isn’t a joke, everyone takes the console wars seriously and it’s idiotic, haven’t you noticed the flaming that goes on when fanboys start spewing about their consoles that are so meaningless to the games it’s not even funny. “the PS3 has a slide in Blu-ray player, the Xbox still uses trays” “the PS3 has 4D graphics!!!!” when you read these words and they are actually serious about them, it’s because something is really wrong with these people
his face was still …

I wasn’t directing …
I wasn’t directing my comment to the Obama speech, but to the idiots that are always on console wars that hear someone important like Obama say the words “put the XBOX aways” and then just go on a fanboyism rampage “OMG OBAMA hates the XBOX, PS3 RULEZZZ” when Obama didn’t speak of the Xbox directly as a console, he did not say it was bad or not as a console and he mearly stated that kids and even some parents spend too much time on consoles, be it Xbox or PS3, it’s so idiotic
@VoidKeeper
I love …
@VoidKeeper
I love the 360 as much as the next guy and I completely understand what the president is getting at.
And you should not asking whether we’re stupid. You should direct that question to the parents!
My point:
Another good question(s):
Why should Obama or anyone else tell one how to raise one’s own children?!
Shouldn’t the parents already know this!?!
If you don’t push your kids, they will more than likely FAIL and fall to the waste-side!
BLUF: Parents need to be parents!
I’m sorry I was …
I’m sorry I was trying to be funny.
I own an xbox too ya know.
your a ing idiot
your a ing idiot
OMG are you people …
OMG are you people stupid??? his comment was reffering that the XBOX consumes too much time because people are playing it, EVERYWHERE. Not like some people I know that own a PS3 that’s gathering dust in the living room, at least they do their homework I guess!
actually his …
actually his comment is because they play TOO MUCH XBOX, hence the comment means that people waste too much time playing the games on XBOX, why, BECAUSE IT’S GOOD!!!!!
hahaha:P
hahaha:P
Even the world’s …
Even the world’s most powerful man agrees that Xbox sucks hard.
He’s warning them to put the thing away before it quite literally blows up in their kids faces. It’s well known that Xboxes have started house fires in the past, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
I commend Barack Obama for highlighting this ‘evil in our living rooms’ for the rest of the world.
Here’s hoping some parents now take the time to educate themselves on the dangers of allowing Microshaft products into the household.
