Obama Scolds Graduates For Getting News From Playstations

[logical4u]

Duh. Obama can't tell the difference between GAMES and Information.

Yes he can. You seem to not get the idea that many times, kids know all about the best shooting points in Call of Duty but can't tell you basic American History. It's all about what you consider to be important when it comes to information. Some kids consider COD to be more important than school, and Obama is warning against such a thing.

You are a grade A moron.

When the Pres gets enough power, education won't matter; he is modeling us after Zimbabwe.

The Washington Post link in post 72 has a verbatim transcript of Obama's prepared remarks - the RealClearPolitics video shows how he went of script. Obama in his OWN WORDS said he doesn't know how "they" work.

Idiot.

I really can't understand what world you live in. You need to start reading newspapers, magazines, and posts other than your own. I have seen links that claimed Thomas Jefferson was a bigot. I have seen links that claim to be The Wall Street Journal or the New York Times. Even a novice like yourself could manufacture one of these. I guess I can not see why you would simply take something out of context on a minor subject such as the use of hand-held technology used by the President. It is clearly a slam on the President.

While we are on the subject of slams, what is this bit calling me "skid marks." I know what that means, but do not see how it applies to me. It is just another derogatory, last desparete comment as your aguement is going down.

The poster at the beginning of this thread had you pegged. You don't understand the technology. You are just some unhappy person sitting in front of a computer trying to defend a life that has not gone as well as you had hoped. I'm sorry for you, but I am not going to let you get away with twisting the facts.

Well you are a slobbering gas bag.

 

[logical4u]

Rarely do they, bloggers provide a specific point of view because they have a specific agenda.

And ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN don't have a specific agenda?

Puh-leeeze.

Yea, to tell the news.

Not every station is like Fox. You try watching the others once in a while and then checking out for yourself if they lie.

Now Fox on the other hand has to constantly print retractions.

Whether it's altering images of people they don't like:

Fox is absolutely nuts:

And the lies about crowd size. Shame on them.

You would think that after George Bush and all the proven lies by Fox, white wingers would be fed up and decide they want the truth. Guess not. For some reason, the truth is worse than the lies to them. I don't know why. To me, it looks like the lies are worse.

Truth? Did the Pres get Iran to give up its nuclear plans? (a simple yes or no will do)

I posted an article from one of the oldest new services in the world (Agence France-Presse). Murf76 posted a video clip in which Obama can be seen and heard saying the exact sentences that are in the article.

You don't like the facts - so you are trying to deflect attention from them.

You might fool some of your moonbat henchposters, but most people will see through your transparent disingenuous tactics.

[boedicca]

You haven't proven that the links are phony.

Murf and I have provided multiple sources which prove that Obama Said What He Said.

You can't handle facts - which must be due to the fact that you smeared your brains all over your undies.

Thank you for this link it illustrates my point about misuse of links, connotation, and denotation. This utube lets you actually see that while the words may be true, the intention was facetious. Don't take my word for it, make up your own mind. I am not always correct either, but when I am wrong, I'll admit it. This round I stick to my posts.

I would like to know more about the AFP wire service that delivered the original link. Was this the take of the military? the Philipines? or, the poster? And, was the distortion intentional. President Barack Obama has used hand-held technology for years.

Granted, this is a minor point, and not even an issue, but there are serious, extreme examples where manufactured links have been used to portray civil rights leaders as bigots. Always consider the source of information you get on the www.

Utter bullshit. Half your idiot argument for accusing Bo of biased links was based on your personal belief that Obama wouldn't have used the specific words he actually used.

Just be a man and admit you're full of crap, and that you couldn't see past your own partisanship for the two minutes it would've taken to confirm that the guy actually said what he said. Sheesh.

Your argument that Obama meant to be "facetious" is a transparent cover for the fact that you didn't have a clue as to what you were talking about when you made the bold accusation of "fake links". Otherwise, THAT would have been your argument rather than the one you used in Post #69:

Oh... and anybody who noticed that you've spent DAYS defending the use of the pornagraphic epithet, "Teabaggers", is unlikely to work up much sympathy at the thought of you being referred to as "Skid Marks". Just sayin'.

Obama must really hate that information is no longer controlled by the Big Three Networks and a handful of major metro newspapers.

Obama, who often chides journalists and cable news outlets for obsessing with political horse race coverage rather than serious issues, told a class of graduating university students that education was the key to progress.

"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."


AFP: Obama bemoans 'diversions' of IPod, Xbox era


Does anyone else find it troubling that Obama continues to attack the alternative media which is critical of him?

Sorry Boedicca, Obama wants 'Stepford voters'. He already has them with the dems (if you don't believe me try asking more than one the same question... the answer is the same, it doesn't matter what political question, they all answer the same, and for many other subjects too). Now, he is after those few students that want 'individuality' ; it is against his 'legion' mentality. They must be forced to convert to the 'good' 'Stepford' voter. Watch yourself, they will be coming.....

 

[boedicca]

You are correct - he does want Stepford voters.

In 2002 the Republicans had the house, senate, and presidency. The new media had just begun to get rolling. Now who's in charge? Hell, conservatives couldn't even nominate a candidate for president much less get one elected.

When a thread reaches this level of stupidity, I don't know if I should leave or stay. If I stay and get angry someone will inevitably dig though my old posts and throw it in my face later. So, I am going to "cherry pick" my response.

1). This is certainly one of the least important threads I have seen at USMB.

2). The utube and links are subject to an individuals personal observation, and I have rendered an opinion that I am sticking to.

3). You can Google stacks of information on President Barack Obama's use of hand held technology which has caused security problems since his inauguration. His remark, as you can see from the utube video is tongue-in-cheek.

4). As is usual with certain elements in this web site, as your arguements become more desparate, the cursing and name calling comes up. I will not participate in that.

5). My well-documented, (with actual photos taken by Tea Baggers) statements about Tea Baggers being racists have trapped the Tea Baggers in their own poor public relations. The movement consists mainly of the sore loser Bush crowd being suckered in with three conservative organizations faking a grass-roots effort of some kind. There was an entire thread where conservative Republicans put down the actions of Tea Baggers. Tea Baggers stand alone as bigots, and they are trapped by their own actions. They are looking everywhere including this thread to find a way to gain credibility.

Tea Baggers = Racist

{edited for brevity}

Sorry, kid. But you're busted. Half your thesis was built upon the idea that Bo's link was false because Obama has a well-documented history of using technological gizmos, one that he, himself, wouldn't have contradicted. But he did indeed contradict it, as was proven.

So... the point is NOT whether his comment was "tongue-in-cheek". It's immaterial to your original accusation. The point... is that you utilized your personal disbelief on whether Obama actually made the remark in order to indict another poster of deliberate falsehoods.

In terms of the thread itself being a small matter of import, well... it's true that it's not going to affect the price of eggs. But, it's yet another example of what a GIANT HYPOCRITE your president really is, that he can criticize alternative media when all along he's used it himself for political advantage.



On "not participating in name-calling", did you fail to notice that in your very next paragraph you referred to tea party protesters as "teabaggers" and "bigots"... and did it in extra large bold as well?

(I do hope that referring to concerned American citizens in pornagraphic terms peppered with accusations of racism will be your party's platform, btw. I've never seen the Dems lose 100 seats in the House. It'll be a novel experience. )



My advice, unsolicited as it is.... You're a young guy from all indications. Don't be such a slave to your preferred brand of dogma that you refuse to think critically, or that you make an ass of yourself in defense of an undeserving person's agenda. You won't respect yourself for it in the end.

 

[boedicca]

What else can you expect from SkidMarks? He wiped his brain all over his undies.

 

[bucs90]

My question and comments on this thread are as follows:

- Once again, Obama criticizes without offering a solution. So, Mr. Obama, where then should these students get their news? MSNBC only? The White House press releases only? You criticize those who only watch FOXNews, then criticize those who use countless methods of information flow? Which is it?

- What should these students be doing instead? If they watch the news 16 hours out of 24, and thats dangerous, what should they be doing instead? Sniffing cocaine like you did in college Mr. Obama? Watching Inconvenient Truth and worshipping a 2008 Obama/Biden campaign poster?

- I can't help but notice just how comfortable Barack Obomber is with constantly preaching to people on how they should or shouldn't act. Where they should or shouldnt get their news. Since 95% of Americans will work in private sector jobs, I can't help but wonder how a person whose never held a job outside of government can preach to them this way. Obama has never run a business. Never been a private business manager. Never coached a sports team. Never led a military unit. His only experience in life is preaching........as a lawyer, as a professor, as a president.

 

[blu]

You are incorrect about that. Bloggers provide a great variety of information - including hard news and analysis.

Rarely do they, bloggers provide a specific point of view because they have a specific agenda.

And ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN don't have a specific agenda?

Puh-leeeze.

why would you leave out fox? is that just assumed now-a-days?
