Ninth graders at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, were greeted by some social networking advice from President Obama on Tuesday. He advised them to not let their guard down on social networking sites such as Facebook, for the ghosts of their gay abandon could come back to haunt them later.
“I want everybody here to be careful about what you post on Facebook,” Obama told a group of 40 ninth graders. “Because in the YouTube age, whatever you do, it will be pulled up again later somewhere in your life. And when you’re young, you make mistakes and you do some stupid stuff. ”
Recent studies have shown that an increasing number of hiring managers closely examine the social networking profiles of job candidates. So, a bit of caution on the part of these kids will at least ensure that they don’t remain unemployed because of social networking gaffes.

so you mean if I post something online and then people who want to invest in me, might look at it. So there was a reason those professors mentioned that a time or two. Thanks Mr. Prez

I'm guessing he's speaking from experience, with all those "morally wrong" things that people have dug up about him.

Is "gay" a typo? "Day" seems to make more sense, unless obama is saying not to put your private life (sexual preferences), otherwise it will haunt you
Sorry about grammar naziness.
