Obama: "Information is a distraction."

President Obama has declared that the use of modern technology to spread information has become a "distraction" and a "diversion", and apparenlty, Ipods and Ipads are the worst of the offenders.

Obama has a penchant for singling out his targets by precise name.  It was Obama who has twice singled out an American city, Las Vegas, Nevada, as the symbol of all that is wrong with business travel, so it should come as no surprise that he would also single out products made by an American company, Apple.

Worst of all, he decries information itself.  Apparently U.S. citizens are simply too well informed to be governed properly.  Ignorant people are easier to manage.  After all, it was Obama and his cohorts in congress who told us that we should simply trust them, and support a health care bill nobody read, and now that it's passed, and HAS been read, congress is quietly attempting to pass further health care legislation to fix the stuff they screwed up.

Yes, our President wants us to be less informed, less active, less involved, and more pliant.  We should merely listen to, and quietly accept, what the talking heads in the mainstream media tell us. Then we should simply mind our own business and allow our leaders to do whatever they want.

Sorry, but I disagree.
