Barack Obama, in a campaign video, called for Americans to put down their Wiimotes and help make history. This relatively rare reference to a specific gaming device during a presidential campaign is perhaps a testament of how mainstream gaming has become in recent years. Everyone knows the Wiimote, right?

The full video invites Obama supporters to take the day off to help with the campaign come November 4th, arguing that history cannot be made while in the office, on the couch or playing Wii (a fact to which my win-loss ratio in Super Smash Bros disagrees) - or the Xbox 360 or the PS3, for that matter.

I agree with Obama: It's probably a good idea to put down the Wiimote on that day. That's Resistance 2's release date.

On a more serious note, though, this isn't the first time the Obama campaign touched on the gaming industry, as he had previously bought digital ad space in Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360).

In the past, he's also asked that parents “turn off the television, turn off the video games” and take more responsibility with their children.

Here's the vid - oh, and yes, do go out and vote on Election Day:

I cannot wait for him to be President, I dislike McCain. And not to start a political war, that's just MY opinion.

Also to what he has to say... Let it go? It's not like it will change anything.

Well, that college only counts for this election. Otherwise popular vote does win for everything else.

But I agree. The college needs to go! We also need better visability on everything our governors and senate vote on.

"But I agree. The college needs to go!"

If there was no electoral college, your hero Bush wouldn't have been elected president so he could protect the country so well that the worst terrorist attack ever happened and 4189 Americans were killed because he had a "hunch" that Saddam had weapons and was a threat.

Wrong again moron. That was not the worst attack ever on the US.

Anyway, are you, in your ignorance, trying to insinuate that attack would not have happened on someone else's watch?

As for those that died serving our country, I wont even discuss that with you. You are are worthless piece of shlt and I'm sure your only hope is to piss off as many people as possible.

You said bush protected the country, and I just proved to you that was an outright lie. Rather, he sent over 4,000 americans to die in a total quagmire he and chenney came up with. Some protector!

Oh, I'm sorry I forgot you were an idiot. I need to speak to you like you are a 2 year old. Let me try again in a way you can understand.

Sit down next to me little douchy. Now listen close, ok. That was not the worst TERRORIST attack on the US. Now what that means little douchy, is that in the past there have been larger terrorist attacks on the US.

Does that make more sense to you little douchy? You cute little boy you.....

"You said bush protected the country, and I just proved to you that was an outright lie."

When someone tells you that someone else protected something, that does not mean they protected it 100% of the time, ALL THE TIME, WITHOUT FAIL, REGARDLESS OF WHAT it may have been.

In order for your ignorance to make any sense, you would have to explain to us ALL how any other president has protected 100% of Americans AT ALL TIME and had NO ONE DIE AT ALL during their term due to any other means then natural causes.

The thing you do not understand, which is common with you because you are an idiot, is that more people die every single year in car crashes alone then died on the 9/11 attack.

Now, in order for MY WORDS to make sense, I would have to prove to you that NO OTHER ATTACK was made on the US after 9/11. POOF, done.

"Rather, he sent over 4,000 americans to die in a total quagmire he and chenney came up with. Some protector!"

Um....are you really this f_cking stupid?

1. Quit pulling info from your ass. More then 4,000 solders went over seas.

2. When I use the term protection I am not only covering US citizens. I'm covering everyone INVOLVED.

Do you have any clue how many LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED once the US intervened? Seriously, answer this question. Use this time to redeem yourself from being the world largest DOUCHE BAG.

Had this war not occurred, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of lives would have continued to be murdered for senseless reasons.

Are you trying to explain to us, you would rather THAT have happened?

I'm done with you. You are truly nothing but a dumb f_ck kid, looking to pick fights on the internet. Your life is so damn empty and meaningless that you just pull shlt out of your ass and talk about it.

You have NO CLUE about what this war was about. You have NO CLUE about our history. People like YOU (or rather your idiot parents since this is where this is all coming from) have already ACTED by NOT DOING ANYTHING and what that happened countless lives have been lost.

 » Big govt IS less freedom

Perhaps giving 'platon's' ridiculous attacks on 'Koru-Kun' at all is to give them more credit than they deserve. But it is quite humorous all the "extra stuff" that platon somehow read into Koru-Kun's simple statement that he believes that Obama is a socialist/communist. Actually, BOTH McCain and Obama are socialists, if you look at how they vote and what they really support. It's just a matter of which is more. And, Socialism IS just a 'kinder/gentler' version of Communism. The same concepts of 'sharing of the wealth' exist. The same concept that overbearing, all-encompassing government is the answer to all of society's ills. It's quite laughable that platon is going to hate on Koru-Kun so far as to even mock the statement that "more government EQUALS less freedom". That is a given. And, unless one is a "retard" who cannot comprehend the lessons of HISTORY, it's a proven fact that the more government (be it Kings or 'elected-Kings') gets into the business of people, the more people suffer and are NOT actually free. Sorry to ruin your day, platon, but true "freedom" is hardly a plentiful concept in the world today, even in America. ....On the other subjects, do you even know what euthanization is? --It's the termination of lives based upon age or defect. You're for that then? ....ok..... :-O Lastly, to comment on the actual article: am I the ONLY Gamer here who gets really offended when some schmuck politician (who's probably never even touched a wiimote) tries to come along and look 'hip and relevant' by his (or her) ability to mention it by name? --Sorry, but the only way to "make history" on November 4th would be for America to do a write-in vote, or vote for Nader or the Libertarian candidate. Show the world that we no longer want to buy this 'crap product' that the Republican and Democratic parties keep shoving down our throats every 4 years. --Show them that we don't want someone who thinks our borders should be meaningless and that we should have no import tariffs, while other countries can.

I love debates! Just to throw this out there, I hate Obama. I hate most of what he stands for. Can he do some good? Sure. But I believe McCain can do MORE good. Also between the two I believe Obama to be the only one who can do actual HARM.

Take from the rich and spread it around? I know that sounds real good to a lot of ignorant kids out there but reality and HISTORY tells us different.

I came across this and it make a LOT of sense. Unlike most of what comes out of Obama's mouth. I can't believe people listen to him and nod in acceptance. Do these people not have their brains turned on?

To Obama:

"I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long
term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate. This
is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you
supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah
Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a
maverick who cleaned-up Alaska 's quagmire of political scandals. Which way
is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the
mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart,
aggressive, reformer?"

Obama wants change? He's not even President yet and he's already failed at CHANGE.

 » my thoughts on abbortion.

I think people would be a lot happier if they found some middle ground. Like with abortion. I am anti-abortion. I do not feel a growing life should die for the mistakes of their parents. I have had friends that have been adopted from rough homes and have turned out to be great people. But I do recognise the need for abotion for health reasons. I just feel thast if it was legalized, people would use it to rid themselves of the concequnces of bad choices. And abortion is not a woman practicing the right to do whatever she wants with her body, thats prostitution. It is a womans choice to end the life of a living being she is resposible for. That child (be it a neuron tube or a conglomerate of brain cells) never got to decide what he did with his body. There are special cases for extreeme behavior. Our problem today is that we all feel like we are the exception. I think to toataly rid the USA of abortion would be foolish, but to allow it to any pregnate woman who doesn't want a child is foolish as well. We have ways of dealing with that that do not involve the loss of a life.

   Re: Koru-Kun - 2008-10-29
 » @ platon

you are a really truly pathetic and pitiful human.... you've been so brainwashed it's utterly laughable!

I'll respond to your little numbered statements equally:

1.) I know what the Soviet Union is and which form of slavery they had (communism) and i know exactly what socialism is. Socialism is one-half step below communism just like anarchy is one-half step below dictatorship. Don't iterate what you can't comprehend fool.

2.) First of all, America is a REPUBLIC not a democracy. Secondly All you sound like is a whiny little child who is throwing a tantrum because he didn't like what he read. So from now on, i will call you a child when I address you.

3.) I'm pro-life, this is easy. If the fertilization and egg became stuck in the Fallopian tube and it will kill the mother AND the child if nothing is done I believe that everything must be tried to save the child and the mother, if there is no other alternative then it's a possibility. If the mother was going to die and the child survive though, there are MILLIONS of mothers out there that have died during child birth and were glad to do so to give life to their son/daughter. Abortion is MURDER.

You say that Christianity is causing deaths in Africa? PROVE IT child... you want to make bold claims like that you better back your damned words up or shut the hell up. You've apparently been brainwashed in the area of Christianity as well pretty deeply. All these FALSE claims coming out of your childish mind are baseless and flat out hate. You atheist child, research your material before you try to talk with the big boys.

4.) I have a soul, maybe you sold yours but I still have mine. You've been indoctrinated into believing in a horribly put together theory that is full of holes. What's funny is that there is SOOO much evidence against evolutionism that it's become ridiculous! You want to believe that you came from a rock that came out of nowhere for no reason at all, you just due that.

OMG, did you know that trees are born (for lack of a better word) with a shell around them and is really tiny (such as an acorn)?! Did you know that those acorns grow up to be big TREES?! Does this prove evolution? NO, ask any credible scientist... they will all say that it's simply the natural life cycle at work in that species of plant or animal.

Are you sure you're considered human yet? You haven't gotten gray hair yet after all. You haven't started losing your hair and eyesight. You haven't started having a really hard time walking around because of osteoporosis and arthritis yet? Well, based on your theory... i can safely say that you aren't an actual human yet because you haven't reached a certain stage in your life cycle. See how stupid your theory sounds? No matter WHAT stage of growth you are in, when you are conceived your life process begins immediately... you are a human since your process starts to the end of your life (then you're just rotting flesh).

I don't care what you want to believe about the soul. But you have no evidence or anything concerning what causes thought you child. There is no known material object in the universe that can create a non-material thing. A THOUGHT is immaterial, and therefore isn't created by the brain. The soul which is immaterial is what has thought, the brain is the motherboard and hard drive of our bodies. Ever heard of being brain dead? The body functions just fine even the brain is working fine BUT there is no thought synapses occurring which is triggered by thought. The soul left the body even though the body is performing just as it had been... but there's no mind/soul to operate the machine known as the body.

Oh, and about the removal of the lymbic system, that may cause the body not to be able to express emotion but that doesn't mean the soul doesn't feel emotion. It's the same thing as you not being able to get athlete's foot if you cut your feet off you child. It's like trying to operate a crane game machine without the red button to drop the grabber.

Socialism IS A FORM of Communism. It's sole purpose is to pave a path to communism.

"STAY AT SCHOOL"

You should listen to yourself!

Your comments are completely off base. There is nothing wrong with what he said. Obama supports Socialism, that is FACT. Where have you been? What do you think you are supporting? Also, more government DOES IN FACT equal less freedom. What that means is the more regulation you have, the more you are REGULATED. Pretty simple eh?

   Re: Mister Common Sense - 2008-10-29
 » big government vs. big business

The original concept of socialism was worker control over industry. That the idea of democracy would be expanded to industry and commerce. Now one can compare the Great Red Bureaucracy of the Soviet Union and the other Soviet Bloc countries to that ideal. Well, the Soviets used terms like socialism and communism to appeal to the working class. Of course it was pure propaganda, they were dictatorships. But the United States has always been able to say 'hey look, you don't want socialism, see what happened over there.' The Communist countries also used phrases like 'people's democracy of...', like it was some form of superior democracy, of course no one bought that lie, but everyone buys the socialism lie. There are people who believe in the original idea of socialism, frequently they will use terms like 'democratic socialism', or libertarian socialism, or social democracy, etc. Next, the Republicans don't believe in small government, at all. They only cry big government when it helps the poor or working class. The Republicans love big government when it helps the rich. Tax breaks, offshore tax shelters, subsidies, resources, etc. We just gave these guys 700 billion! We don't even have! Now of course big government can be bad. But most of the people that cry 'big government' want less democracy. How do you obtain that? You give everything away to private corporations that have little or no accountability. See, according to the elite, government has a flaw, it is potentially democratic. In theory, the people own the government. The people don't own Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, or Walt Disney, or Microsoft, etc. Now, is socialism 'redistributing the wealth'? Maybe, but our own economy already does redistribute the wealth, upwards towards those that are already rich. Why do people like Obama so much? Because he isn't John McCain. McCain talks a big game, but if you look at his proposals on paper, he is promising Bush Mark III. If you like infinite oil wars, government spying on citizens, taxes on your health insurance, total ecological destruction, outings of CIA agents in retaliation, stealings of elections, a government that works against you, then go ahead and vote for McCain. Except, he's an old 72, the old codgers on his last leg, so you will be electing Palin, really. Now will we have problems with Obama? Maybe, if he didn't want power he wouldn't be running. But we will fight that battle when we come to it, with the Constitution in hand. Koru-Kun and ISOHaven obviously have been huffing too much Glade Air freshener behind the trash cans at night. You may want to save a couple brain cells for the future so you can play World of Warcraft until the end of time.

i was completely against the bailout bull***** from washington. In communist/socialist societies there is always a tyrant/dictator behind it all (or tiny group of people).

I've never lost an debate against evolutionists, because once all the evidence is presented on the table it's hard to ignore the glaring obviousness that the theory of evolution might as well be swiss cheese. But I digress, the reason i mention evolutionism was because some child on this board decided to try to explain that we WEREN'T human inside the womb because we had a tail (which is your backbone).

You then end your CUT AND PASTE with your usual crap by stating just because we support McCain we must be huffing. Now THAT text is from you.

So that's your defense? You win because we must be huffing because we support McCain?

As always, you fail.

@73N5H1 - You have all the freedom you need to get your rear end in school, make something of your life and become as rich as you want. The only people you need help from is yourself. Demanding help from others is the EXACT kind of socialism crap that caused the housing collapse.

You claim you want socialism? You already have it! Do you know anyone that lost their ass on a home mortgage? You can thank Obama for that because he spearheaded the cause that created that mess.

And here you guys want more? Why do you want MORE housing collapse? It boggles my MIND!!!!

FACT - Obama got RICH off the housing collapse. THAT IS FACT. He got TONS O MONEY from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He benefited from millions of Americans that lost their ass. His idea of fixing America is to run it into the ground just like he did the housing industry. You know, the companies we just bailed out? HE DID THAT!!!!

And you want more? The only reason his numbers are so high is because America is IGNORANT with what goes on behind their backs and they vote purely based on what the media is willing to show them.

Anyone who votes for Obama SUPPORTS the COLLAPSE of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the collapse of millions of American dreams.

What is hillarious, is the number of people that are voting for Obama that LOST THEIR HOME because of him (and of course many other Democrats).

 » I'll adress your quote

"Take from the rich and spread it around? I know that sounds real good to a lot of ignorant kids out there but reality and HISTORY tells us different."

This isn't about taking from the rich. It's preventing them from keeping money they do not deserve. Middle Class have no extra money to spend, which is hurting the economy further. Sure, yaht sales may go up by giving the rich more republican tax cuts, but this will not help the economy.

I came across this and it make a LOT of sense. Unlike most of what comes out of Obama's mouth. I can't believe people listen to him and nod in acceptance. Do these people not have their brains turned on?

Insult everyone who doesn't agree with everything you say. That's republican trash for ya! Nothing new for you.

"To Obama:
"I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long
term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate. This
is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you
supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah
Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a
maverick who cleaned-up Alaska 's quagmire of political scandals. Which way
is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the
mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart,
aggressive, reformer?"

That's republican propaganda, nothing more. What the hell is that supposed to prove? I hear enough of that garbage in Mcain's 100% negative ads.

"Obama wants change? He's not even President yet and he's already failed at CHANGE."

You provided no evidence whatsoever of anything, then you predict the future. Do you want change? Then why would anybody vote for someone that's going to do the same f*cking thing as the last president and has the same policies?

Koru-Kun is a complete dumbass for voting based on one "pro life" policy, when Mcain is pro war and hardly has a pro life record.

"This isn't about taking from the rich. It's preventing them from keeping money they do not deserve."
I asked you to address my quote. This is not my quote. This is more of your BS. This is nothing but your OPINION about what a company does or does not deserve. You aren%u2019t even addressing a specific company. You are merely addressing ANYONE that makes more money then YOU. That's great, for a childs view.

"Insult everyone who doesn't agree with everything you say. That's republican trash for ya! Nothing new for you."
I'm not republican you jackass. ASSuming is nothing new for YOU. I'm not insulting EVERYONE, I'm insulting those that have lost their mortgage because of the housing crisis AND who support Obama. Seeing as how Obama supports the collapse.

"That's republican propaganda, nothing more. What the hell is that supposed to prove? I hear enough of that garbage in Mcain's 100% negative ads."

1. So this is it? This is YOU addressing my quote? You simply call it propaganda? Once again, I expect nothing less from a child.

2. 100%? So you're just stupid? Ignorant? Childish?

"You provided no evidence whatsoever of anything, then you predict the future."

1. My evidence is in my post you MORON. Had you bothered to PROPERLY address it you would have seen that.

2. The future? WTF are you talking about? I said nothing about the future.


"Do you want change? Then why would anybody vote for someone that's going to do the same f*cking thing as the last president and has the same policies?"

The same thing? Did Obama tell you that? Do you have ANY CLUE as to what McCain is all about? Obama SUPPORTS some of Bush's policies. McCain supports some of Bush's policies. Yet NONE of them are Bush nor do either of them have the same propaganda.

You mean to tell me you support Obama yet you don't even know that he SUPPORTS Bush? Obviously some policies are going to be shared by more then one person

However you made it painfully clear in by using the specific words that you've used that you are doing nothing but repeating what you've heard come from Obama's mouth.

"Koru-Kun is a complete dumbass for voting based on one "pro life" policy, when Mcain is pro war and hardly has a pro life record."

I read more then "pro life" come from him. Seems to me you're the dumbass who can't read.

I'm not pro-life. Well, I'm pro life FOR ME, that is I would never terminate a pregnancy however I'm not pro life in the sense that I force these laws on others. I disagree with any notion that it's anyone's business but who is pregnant. Just because I disagree on one issue
