That's right people - President Barack Obama doesn't know how to work a Playstation, Xbox, or even an iPod for the matter. Speaking to some students at Hampton University, he spoke out about the distractions that technologies pose to the young generations, and the challenges the US government faces in this technological age.
"You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter,"
"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.
"All of this is not only putting new pressures on you, it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."
Well, I'm sure Schaff is much more qualified to talk about this than I am, but to be fair, I completely agree. Technology has virtually taken over our lives, and I think it's pretty impressive that Obama doesn't know how to work any of these devices - not that anyone cares. As long as he knows how to work the United States of America, I don't really mind.

well lets face it we need some technical noobs to do other stuff like running the country!!! Im sure Obama could work a ps3 if he wanted to but he just has too many other issues to deal with that is scupering his chance to finish killzone 2 on elite!! Damn BP Oil Spill!!!
Thats because he is a stupid ass president who doesnt know how to run a country. If we cant work a xbox why can he run a entire country? He cant so see you all in hell in a couple of years.
I bet he's in the top 150 legit on each of the CoD games, and will be waiting outside the shops the day that black ops gets released, just waiting to get a copy.
And i love to laugh at all of the retard comparing his a lack of knowledge about playing on games consoles to how he is running a country...
