Barack Obama’s Wii Sports Christmas revealed!
Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 3:02pm by Jack
President-elect Barack Obama is one cool dude. He’s our next leader, an Apple lover, and today he can add one more impressive accolade to his resume: He got a Wii for Christmas.
Mr. Obama said he’d have his hands full attempting to rescue the American economy. But he has gotten in a little practice in bowling lately on the Nintendo Wii his daughters received for Christmas. Mr. Obama, who famously struggled in bowling during last year’s Democratic primaries, said he performs better in the video game.
Politicians, like all people, are far from perfect, of course, but this guy’s got it goin’ ON.
Update: Yes, this appears to be the first video game console in the White House. Nintendo is officially attempting to take over the free world now.

We are truly in good hands! He should definitely pick up Medal of Honor 2 to relax after a hard day of dealing with certain un-likeble dictators.

At least it will be the first console in the White House when Obama moves in on the 20th, assuming that he brings it, which he better.

That’s it, the Wii has made it’s way into several of the world leaders homes, they can now come to life to hold them hostage just as Nintendo planned! The world will finally be theirs!!
All bow down to Nintendo!

There already was a DS in the White House, as Nintendo sent Bush a Lite with Brain Training for his birthday. Though not a console, still Nintendo.

Jaime, for your own good, browse e-Bay to see if you can find a decent brain, yours is obviously rotten.

Racist? Dumb? How so?
Anti-socialist? Pro-personal liberty? Pro-personal responsibility…DEFINITELY. I didn’t insult the man. I’m just not excited about him and people acting like he’s going to save mankind is a little much.

@ Jaime: So you think another four years of McBush would save America’s fledgling economy. McCain voted with bush 90%+ of the time meaning more people will lose their jops while the rich get richer. This trickle down economy has proven itself time and time again that it DOES NOT WORK. Yes Bush got the bailout plan for the Business Market that wanted to be deregulated from the government.
Not only that the government is way too concerned with the small fraction that was loaned to the auto industry, yet they let AIG execs spend the money on trips to the spa, and they can’t even account for about 300 billion of that money. Something says, that this crappy trend would continue with McCain who also believes in a failed economic ideal.
However on the flipside, Obama MUST save our country from the economic crisis. Especially MI where he promised to save our sorry asses from the crap we’ve been going through (courtesy of not only our crappy ass governor but the horrible rep Detroit got because of that jack ass, Kwame.) So Obama’s first term has to be nothing short of SPECTACULAR otherwise there will never be another minority in office again. If he can’t keep any of his promises, there will be no second term for him.

Anyhow, I’ve said this a couple of years ago “It’s only a matter of time before gamers will rule the world” and it’s coming true with Nintendo consoles invading the homes of world leaders. In a decade or so hard core gamers will be the ones running the country and soon the world.
