President Obama Says He Doesn't Know How to Use iPods, iPads, Xboxes or PlayStations

President Obama would like to know what in tarnation these young whippersnappers are doing with these doomaflotchies, Agence France-Presse reports:
"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," Obama said at Hampton University, Virginia.
"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," Obama said. He bemoaned the fact that "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction," in the clamor of certain blogs and talk radio outlets. "All of this is not only putting new pressures on you, it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."
In Barack Obama's day, they didn't have these newfangled "Internet" contraptions. You wanted to communicate, you went to the telegraph office. And they didn't have any of this fancy "global warming" in those days either. You'd walk 10 miles through the snow to get there, and it was uphill both ways!
In his day, if you wanted information, you didn't need some "computer" gizmo. You read the paintings on the cave walls. "Hunter, hunter, dinosaur, woolly mammoth, woolly mammoth."
That was democracy, we tell ya! And what in the Sam Hill is an "Xbox"? They didn't need "video" games when Barack was a lad. His favorite game was Stick. A bunch of kids would find a stick, and they'd play with it for hours! Yes sir, back then, they knew how to have fun.

EXCELLENT detective work.
Curse that damn Internet!
You can run from GOOGLE, Obama, but you can't hide. :-)

What a dope.
This guy I run into almost every day has been wearing a BO/Biden pin on his hat since before the election. Today, for the first time, I noticed he wasn't wearing it. He wasn't wearing any political buttons at all.
Obama's commercial isn't information. Like a brand prominently displayed in a movie, the billboard just as easily could have featured the Geico lizard. Who was "empowered" and "emancipated" by its use was Obama, not the players.
“Now that’s no way for a kid to be wastin his time, readin’ that long-haired gobbledegook”—Foghorn Leghorn
I say, I say, we got too many of dem dere iPods and iPads and iDunno what else out dere, son, we got too many of dem. Dats for sure
What in hell is that?
Obama hates anything he can’t control. He would love to micromanage every aspect of our lives down to the number of times we exhale every minute. His wife is already fantasizing about controlling our BMI.
It absolutely is a real photo. Distribute to all your friends. :)
True, definitely quite an exaggeration.
Obama, like all Liberals, hates himself. You say “How can that be? He’s a narcissist.”. Yes, he is a narcissist, and that’s his device for dealing with his self loathing: self adulation. “Look at me! I’m the greatest thing to ever come down the pike!” He does this because he can’t look at the self-hatred.
His Liberals favor killing babies because they wish somebody had killed them. They have no regard for human life or human values. They look upon us as cattle and are working to corral us all and control our lives completely for their profit.
When something doesn’t fit his preconceived template, like Tea Partiers asking for their freedom back, he gets in his helicopter and flies to a place where a crowd of self-loathing Liberals is waiting to gulp down his soothing words that also fit their template.
Because they believe if He The One said it, it MUST be true. In the MSM's collective mind, He The One IS the truth.
Greatness
I must be stupid but I can’t copy the photo
what am I doing wrong?
thanks

All tyrants seek to ban non-approved communication.
I first found out that there may be some suspicion that he is not a Natural Born Citizen while playing Grand Theft Auto. Then, while researching crop circles on Google, I heard that he may not have been born in Hawaii, and that there is some problem with like his Birth Certificate?
I hope he is able to put a stop to these vile rumors by passing new laws to protect us.

“WSJ misquoted. He said, “...rather than a means of ePancipation.” lol
Dude is a doof!
Nobody else mentioned it, these lamebrains want him to be what they thought they saw, The One We’ve been waiting for!
They still think by not reporting his gaffes he will succeed, and they will have helped, in washing the slate clean.
It’s the deal with the Devil, if you ask me.
