Some Video Gamers Leery of Obama's Views

Gamers are no strangers to politics; indeed, video games are a recurring subject of campaign rhetoric. Blog posts scoring President-elect Obama's positions on video games have received hundreds of comments, with some readers worrying that his admonitions during the campaign to "put the video games away" signaled new regulations or restrictions on the industry. Obama indicated that he supported parental controls for both television and video games and called on the video game industry to "give parents better information" and improve the voluntary ratings system. "If the industry fails to act, then my administration would," he wrote.
