President Obama had ‘Wii Station’ set up for Super Bowl Sunday
Thursday, February 5th, 2009 at 9:54am by Jack
President Obama, as part of an overall, far-reaching Super Bowl stimulus package, reportedly set up a “Wii station” in the East Wing of the White House last Sunday during the big game. That’s so modern.
No word on games or who played the thing, but regardless I still find it incredibly cool that we have a competent president now who can not only speak clearly, but game with his family as well.

Seriously….you want to open up the political can of worms here?

Wow that DS is badass. Is it photoshopped or real?

President Obama inherited a dying economy, but hey, he got a Wii! All is good in the world. hehe!

obama played wii DURING the super bowl? that would be a serious lack of priorities.
hopefully it was just to distract the kiddies.

Curious to know how you can judge the competence of an untested leader before he has done anything at all. Except try to spend one trillion of our dollars.

There’s no better way to get your country out of unprecedented debt than spend 150 M I L L I O N dollars on your inauguration party! And make the people pay for transportation and security!

Who is judging? Not me. I said inherited, not caused. That said, I do hate how people act like any political figure is going to be their salvation. He’s just a man.
I’m glad he likes the Wii.
Now I will calmly let the matter rest.

From what I’ve read, nothing indicates that the President actually plays games, only that he owns a system. It’s probably just a toy for his kids. Then again, Obama supposedly reads spider-man on a regular basis, so you never know.
We used to have a “Nes Station” at my uncle’s house during football games.

Oh, the women’s magazines are going to eat this this up!
What could be better than a little get-together with the Wii, the Super Bowl, oatmeal raisin cookies, and of course a little subdued politics on the side.
If I was a Republican senator I would be totally buttered up. “You had me at ‘Wii’ but then you also brought cookies?!?! I want to have your babies, Obama.” “If” of course…

he’s a politician just like the rest. he has his own agenda just like the rest and will change nothing but perception. if that helps you sleep at night good for you, but i wouldn’t trust any politician as far as i could throw them regardless of what system he has in his house. the lesser of two evils is still evil…

Leftists have killed more people than anyone else in the world, in particular communists who have killed even more people than fascists and Muslims combined. Obama is a socialist and the most leftist president the USA has ever had. His friends are almost all socialist black supremacists, communists, Islamic fascists, etc.
Obama is an abomination who is likely to become even worse president than mass murderer Bill Clinton (responsible for genocides in former Yugoslavia, he literally allied with Al-Qaeda to exterminate Serbians in Kosovo to help out the theocratic fascists (Muslims) to establish the Hitler-Mussolini planned terrorist state on the Serbian territory of Kosovo and Metohija).

You’re all missing the point.
Our beloved “Stillers” brought a sixth Super Bowl trophy to the city of Pittsburgh, and it’s been absolutely fantastic. Not only that, but it was also one of the best Super Bowl games of all time. Ben Roethlisberger is just about the most clutch human being alive.
If the Penguins can get their stuff together, we might be celebrating Lord Stanley’s Cup in a few months, too. A big win last night got that train rolling.
City of champions! What’s a Dallas?

Stalfos, you do realize you have unleashed hell?

Brian I think Kyle is referring to this line:
“No word on games or who played the thing, but regardless I still find it incredibly cool that we have a competent president now who can not only speak clearly…”
And I agree….there’s no way you can tell if he’s “competent” or not yet, he’s only been on the job for 2 weeks.
Of course that hasn’t stopped his approval rating from dropping to 53% in said 2 weeks. And yes he speaks clearly….when he has a teleprompter in front of him. Take that away and he gives Bush a run for his money.
And this is all coming from someone who was glad to see Bush go.

Ugh, I don’t know what’s worse. wading through politically based articles here on Infendo, or listening to more stories about Bob the psycho.
Somebody please, make it stop.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I can only imagine what would have been said if Bush owned a gameboy.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
I think that Infendo should keep the site strictly video games: no more politics.
P.S. Steelers kicked a– and took names!

Fine with the post, but “I still find it incredibly cool that we have a competent president now” only invites flaming. Surprisingly, not too much flaming in the comments. Kudos to those who didn’t.

“Obama” and “Competent” should not be used in the same sentence. Ever! Mark my words.
