I am sorry but this is just another excuse for lazy fucking parents who want someone else to raise their kids. Instead of taking the time to actually find out what their kids are into and doing. I don't have any children and for the exact reason that right now I still have too much shit going on for me. Maybe more parents need to take a bit more time to decide if they are ready to be a full time parent before they just go popping out a couple spawns that are raised by TV and the XBOX.

Bravo, Eric - you nailed it on the head there.
One thing to remember in all this; Hillary Clinton's book was entitled "It Takes A Village" (the rest of that nauseating old cliche' is "to raise a child"), so extending the responsibility of raising children onto non-parents is nothing new to HC.
I don't think Hillary is playing to the conservative Christian right here at all; that would be pointless. That segment isn't going to touch ANY democrat, much less one that is openly and loudly pro-choice. Sadly, what Clinton is reaching for here is the center, the so-called "Reagan Democrats"; I say 'sadly' because it seems pretty clear that many political centrists are just as eager to tightly regulate the video game and online adult entertainment markets as their peers on the far right.
