I think this makes sense...

I can see Hillary Clinton being a MAJOR apposing threat to the video game industry. She wanted violent games banned in the US in the name of "protecting the children" Obama not so much.

This was the only part of the Article worth reading, the rest of the article tended to involve bashing anyone the writer felt was conservative.

He also spent alot of time giving Obama direct credit for things that were done by his rather savy campaign team.

um yeah... Obama is not a centrist.

Obama is a centrist at least in comparison to Bush being a right wing fundamentalist nazi, while you can say both lean in one direction they are not  pounding the pavement with a armband and funny mistoush... altho I wonder about Misses Impallin but I digress....

I think Obama is more right of center than people are willing to give him credit for sure he voted with the parry but he was on vacation like many of our employed representatives are so meh, hes a politician  clean  he is not as non are. Obama will go after whatever he can lead on or at least show he is part of it so I doubt we will have a huge fascist movement over the populace and information consumption as so he can lead us one way or another with..despite how much the leftist nazis want total media control....oh and tis not that the right don't have fascists but they tend to bark alot and are slightly neutered these days.... the left however is getting to full of themselves....

I strongly doubt that he will appoint anyone who is likely to whittle away at the First Amendment.

Seeing as Gov. Granholm and professor Cass Sunstein are rumored to be on Obama's short list, it seems that the author hasn't been paying attention. But that much was apparent when he called Reagan a populist and said Obama is "opposed to gun control." Does this guy get his political history from the Onion or something?

We only need to worry about it if the government wants to take our eyes off of more important issues. Until then, I hope Obama is as forward thinking as he insists... and not the sort of liberal who wants to babysit the nation.

Don't fret too much. he'll make such a mess fo things he'll not have time to screw over video games.

Either that or he'll listen and realize there needs to be a more clear ratings system that allows for some games to be rated M, and really nasty stuff like GTA, bully, and manhunt to get a higher rating without hitting AO, which is smut.

Seriously, no 12 year old should be exposed to GTA and other really hardcore M rated games. It's just not a good idea. They shouldn't see R rated movies yet, nor should they play 'R' rated games. Our problem is both our PG-13 and R are rated 'M', and there's a HUGE difference.

I'd love to be able to post a poll up that asked respondants their real age, then their views on if highly violent games should be available to minors, and close an age group after 200 people had voted in it. Would have to be GP registered users though..so people didn't lie.
