It fits in again, perhaps more appropriately;
"In America the "ruling" class wears on its sleeve the view that the rest of Americans are racist,greedy, and above all stupid. ... The rulers want the ruled to shut up and obey." (Angelo M Codevilla Professor emeritus of International Relations at Boston U.)

Even listening to Obama's entire speech to the Hampton grads doesn't explain what he said! He's telling them that there is TOO MUCH INFORMATION out there. That there's too much to process. That there are liars out there. (Well, duh) He's practically implying that they're too stupid to process the information themselves and come to their own conclusion.

Whether you agree with him or not is moot. The point being, in America you can believe what you want, whether you're right or wrong and it's your right to listen to whatever source of information you want to, whether it's your XBox (what a joke) or your iPod or a newspaper...and for a President to tell young adults that this is wrong is ridiculous.
