There are plenty of AAs out there more than capable of running the country.

I think, in his post, "AA" means "Affirmative Action."

Like Fidel Castro, Obamas brand of Communism may just need a few more years to begin producing. We just need to hang in there and give it a chance.

Maybe if we make statues of Obama? Maybe that would jump start the economy?

Just take all those evil ATM’s, send ‘em to a reeducation camp and teach them how to mow a lawn.

Problem solved.

...and send the lawn maintenance people to a different reeducation camp and teach them how to be bank tellers.

There. Fixed it.

Robots can be very useful for many things.

Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.

The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.

The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.

The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”

He just said, days ago, that ATMS cost jobs. Does he even know what he is saying from day to day?

It's a sure thing that his zombie hordes and the MSM shamans leading them don't pay attention to these stunning contradictions.

I have no problem with robot lawnmowers. Means fewer jobs for illegals. Hi-tech manufacturing SHOULD be our strength...

Something tells me that this visit was meant to ‘diffuse’ that ATM statement by showing Obama as supporting automation technology.

President Barack Obama says technological innovations such as robots can help pump jobs into the economy and spur growth in clean energy and advanced manufacturing.

Maybe the robots can fight the evil ATM machines which are stelaing jobs from American humans.

You beat me to it. I’m trying to figure out the fundamental difference between a robot and an ATM. Seems to me that there’s really no difference between them.

So, Mr President, why are ATMs bad and robots good?

He also marveled at robots that can defuse a bomb, mow a lawn, even scrape old paint.

Yeah, and one Robot can even become President Of The United States.

all of his disjointed 5 year programs coming out. Last week he wanted to generate a new crop of engineers. Frankly I think he should generate a new crop of astronauts.

What a idiot. He has to look at what built America.... its government keeping out of the way, and business figuring out what America needs. There are stronger and better brains.... and many more of them amongst the business community. The number of those towers over the unemployables that became government officials.

All he is concerned with is dismantling and destroying America.

Ideas are conceived here and then born and grow up in 3rd world cheap labor markets.. he is so clueless.. and those robots then will just make the unemployment numbers higher..

But an ATM isn’t a robot. It just sits there, puts a few numbers up on a screen, swallows your card, and dispenses a few bills. That’s entirely different from a lawn mowing robot! Besides, the lawn mowing robot will only put a bunch of Mexicans out of work and he clearly doesn’t care for them. If he did, he wouldn’t have Holder sending weapons to Mexico, would he?

Here endeth your Saturday morning lesson.

There are plenty of AAs out there more than capable of running the country.

Agree if AA means African American.
Disagree if AA means Affirmative Action.
Totally disagree when we are faced with the prospect of another AAAA at the helm.
