During an address to a Joint Session of Congress, Obama said the following during his discussion of education policies:
"In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child. I speak to you not just as a president, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home."
Personally, I don't think he's speaking out against video games, I think he's speaking out against bad parents. The ones who need to be parents. Buying your kid an Xbox ≠ Love.
