Obama, droppin names....


Looks like everyone is trying to cash in on the GTA hype... even ol' Obama. Carefully sneaking in a GTA refrence into his speach - perhaps in an effort to get some extra hits on Google? Maybe not.... I must agree with most of his points though.

"I was just catching the news this morning about Grand Theft Auto, this video game, which is gonna break all records and make goo-gobs of money for whoever designed it. Now, this isn't intended for kids, although I promise you there are kids who are playing it, but these video games are raising our kids... Across the board, middle-class, upper-class, working-class kids, they're spending a huge amount of their time not on their studies, but on entertainment."

And so part of our job is going to have to be to inspire the entire country to say, 'How are we giving our kids a thirst for knowledge?' And turning off the TV set, and getting them to be engaged and interested, like their future really does matter on how well they do in school."
