Now, I’m all for Obama (woo change!), but if he keeps trash talking video games, we’re going to have a problem. His latest speech took a shot at the Xbox where he once addressed American kids and told them to get off the Xbox.

Below is an excerpt from his speech:

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.

In all honesty, if you take offense to this you need to look at the picture as a whole; the United States is going through a severe obesity epidemic and kids are playing video games and drinking soda more than ever. While I love video games (obviously) if you’re playing them to the point where you can’t see your toes anymore, you may want to turn the console off and go play some basketball, or something.
