No no, this is not what the title implies. I am not talking about a President of Gaming, i am talking about the President of the USA (or Prime Minister if you are UK or whatever).

When will presidents start playing video-games? when will i see on the news Barak Obama kicking ass at CoD4? or exploring the (Old) ruins of D.C. in Fallout 3?

I think that it's time for leading officials to be able to play games, but i also think that we will have to wait a few generations before people like us are old enough to be one of those officials.

When I'm in Parliament (probably won't happen but I'm looking into it) I'll be the gaming minister, not in a literal sense but I'll support games and gamers, because I am one myself.

Any social network is taboo for high-ranking politicians. The normal people might approach them...

We need to persuade the leaders' children to start gaming, then maybe the world leaders themselves will pick it up out of curiosity =D

I'd rather get them to FIX the economical problem, the social problem, and the other 20-milion problems rather than enjoing themselves with the vidyas.

I still wish the first puppy was a white German Shepard named, "Hughey."

Pierre Trudeau if he was in charge or alive today with all his zany coolness, he definitely would've played at least Halo once.

Also, the Queen of England has played Wii Sports, and reportedly Prince Charles enjoys the bowling.

I don't think Obama have enough time to play videogames really....

Being President is kind of a full time job I believe.
