Obama to Papas: Books, Not Video Games

Have you heard about this Obama guy? He's running for president, I guess. Anyway, yesterday, he told your dad to take away your video games. Why? So you can replace it with a book of all things. Can we say terrorist?

The first [thing] is setting an example of excellence for our children – because if we want to set high expectations for them, we’ve got to set high expectations for ourselves. It’s great if you have a job; it’s even better if you have a college degree. It’s a wonderful thing if you are married and living in a home with your children, but don’t just sit in the house and watch “SportsCenter” all weekend long.

That’s why so many children are growing up in front of the television. As fathers and parents, we’ve got to spend more time with them, and help them with their homework, and replace the video game or the remote control with a book once in awhile. That’s how we build that foundation.

OK, so he isn't a terrorist and that's a pretty solid idea, no matter what party you're from. Happy belated Father's Day, everybody. (And sorry to tread on your turf, Heath.)
