President Obama visited a Boys and Girls Club and played the part of Santa, asking the kids what they want for Christmas—but instead of hearing traditional requests for bikes, the kids all wanted iPods, phones and other tech.

He asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas but seemed surprised by their expensive and high-tech tastes, including iPods, cell phones and video games.

“Whatever happened to, like, asking for a bike?” POTUS asked. “Everbody has a bike,” one informed him and others agreed.

From the mouths of babes: Gadgetry beats lo-fi, analog “bi-cycles” any day. [Gawker, image source]
