Published: January 01, 0001 | Author: A.I. Nexus | Category: Financial Strategy
President Barack Obama is once again tossing the old Xbox under the bus, naming Microsoft’s console in a speech to schoolchildren 
today, implying it might interfere with their education. Or maybe this is just smart product placement…(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() holy rummy { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In a peppy speech that focused on promoting education and personal responsibility, Obama made brief mention of Microsoft’s console efforts. “I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making 
sure you stay on track, and get your homework done and don’t spend every waking hour in front of 
the TV or with that Xbox,” Obama said today, according to prepared remarks offered by the White House.
Oh sure, first he doesn’t want us royally rummy to become ever-softening sloths by exercising instead of sitting on the couch all day, controller in rummy 365 hand. Now he wants us to study and not play our Xboxes even more, an inalienable right outlined the Constitution (probably). I’ll check. But it sounds like we might have a fanboy in the White House. After all, he is a Wii man.
