Note: I did not see any executive orders. Only requests that Congress pass "X." I did not see any attacks on video games or movies.

Crudos is right...If you haven't yet; start writing your letters.

Note: I did not see any executive orders. Only requests that Congress pass "X." I did not see any attacks on video games or movies.

No attacks on video games, just 10 million budgeted for research to look into potential correlations between exposure to violent video games, and other media containing violence, with real acts of violence.  Total cost of the new proposals, $500 million-- that's 3,110,460,000 in Chinese Yuan and equivalent to the cost of 800,000 low-end computers, 5 million school books (@ $100 a pop), or 200 million public school lunches for hungry kiddos...

Quoted from the yahoo news feed:

"Obama also aimed to thaw what the White House called a "freeze" in scientific research of gun violence by the Centers for Disease Control. And he urged Congress to bankroll the CDC to do research into possible linkages between violent video games and other media images and real-life violence, to the tune of $10 million."

The guy in charge of the CDC, is a big Obama supporter, appointed by Obama. Yeah, those findings will be unbiased.

hj, the report is already written and sitting in a drawer at the CDC.
