Just because President Barack Obama is a verified gamer doesnât mean he supports irresponsible gaming. During last nightâs Congressional address, the President re-iterated his firm stance on parenting over gaming.
Obamaâs comments during last nightâs address closely echo comments he made during his presidential campaign, in which he urged parents to actually be parents, rather then letting outside elements such as video games and television raise their children.
Once again, the Presidentâs words do not condemn gaming or television, but rather parents that use the activities to keep their children occupied, rather than spending time with them. Not sure what this whole reading thing is about though. Are parents supposed to bring a laptop with them when they tuck their children in?
