Obama Swipes at Media, Says 'Information' Onslaught Pressuring 'Democracy'
FOXNews.com
In his latest swipe at the modern media , President Obama used a commencement speech over the weekend to bemoan the onslaught of information in the digital age and suggest that the gusher of out there is too much of a good thing.
While knowledge is power, the information age could be too much of a good thing. That's the message some heard in President Obama's weekend commencement speech in which he bemoaned.
Speaking at Hampton University in Virginia, the president raised alarms when he said "information becomes a distraction, a diversion" that is putting "pressure on our country and on our democracy." The president suggested less is more when it comes to absorbing news content and urged graduates to take a skeptical eye toward news from blogs, cable television and radio as well as modern gadgets like iPods and PlayStations.
If this isn't the beginning of Marxism, I don't know what is.....keep the masses ignorant. You control the message. Opposing views are messy....unnecessary. Tell the people that they need only hear from him.
Aren't these speeches suppose to be about the students? About their future careers and families etc???? Instead it turned into a "help my agenda" speech!!
I know what he is talking about. I hate that random Tweets and Blog posts can spawn national controversies and such. It's lame. I love the times we live in, and I love my internet, but I'm fully aware that information is moving so fast that many people can't keep up.
I agree it's there way of keeping the truth from the people. They have been controlling most of the media with garbage reports, hoping we believe and not question. This administation is very corrupt and wants to continue without question. Actions speak louder then words.

If Obama wins the election by more than 50 percent in 2012, will you believe that the majority of the country wants Communism?
