here's our media's idea of investigative reporting...Obama can't work an iPod. Really?

boy, they've got him now, don't they? hell, that cheney, oil company thingy pales next to this.





He's the tech president - the one who totes around a BlackBerry, and who gave the Queen of England an iPod as a gift.

But in a commencement address at Hampton University in Virginia on Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama said there's a darker side to the technologies that have helped build his image as a hip and digitally enabled public servant.

"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," he said in the address, according to a transcript posted by KTKR. "So all of this is not only putting pressure on you; it's putting new pressure on our country and on our democracy."

Education is the key to keeping these digital distractions in check, Obama said.

"Class of 2010, this is a period of breathtaking change, like few others in our history," he said. "We can't stop these changes, but we can channel them, we can shape them, we can adapt to them. And education is what can allow us to do so. It can fortify you, as it did earlier generations, to meet the tests of your own time."

After George W. Bush told them he didn't do anything by e-mail basically because he didn't want anyone checking up on him. Nope, nothing suspicious there! Let's go watch George land a plane on the deck of an aircraft carrier and marvel at his pilot costume.

Does anyone REALLY take that as more than self-deprecatory words, intended to get the attention of the audience? C'mon, REALLY!!!
