Ubuntu or Linux kernel? He want all American kids to become tyrants like

"Tyrants" - Google gives me the following synonym (a cruel and
oppressive dictator )
and thats something I am sure Obama wouldn't have mentioned or even
thought of. An example of how media "blows" up things.
Apple created iPod and it was freaking successful to the extent that
my mom (50 years old) calls every damn mp3 player an iPod. I would not
be surprised if in a year or so people start asking "Can I have your
iPhone number please". And he picked up a very appropriate consumer
product to inspire kids.
Imagine he speaking on them creating the next "linux" kernel. Do you
really think the majority of kids will get inspired and their
creativity circuits in their brain triggered by that?
Think! and calling individuals tyrants is uncalled for on a public
mailing list :)
Thanks for your understanding.
