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

In his radio and Internet address Saturday, the president echoed a plan he unveiled Friday in Pittsburgh to join the federal government, universities and corporations and re-ignite American manufacturing with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and new technologies.

"Their mission is to come up with a way to get ideas from the drawing board to the manufacturing floor to the marketplace as swiftly as possible, which will help create quality jobs, and make our businesses more competitive," Obama said in his address, which was taped Friday during his visit to Carnegie Mellon University, where he saw a display of mini-robots that explore water and sewer pipes.

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

Robots, doing the work that illegal immigrants used to do... Obama could lose a lot of union and La Raza votes over this!

Then again, maybe he's just talkin' up his peeps.

I guess ATM’s don’t count as robots since they destroy jobs. ATM’s must have been created during a Republican administration since robots created in the kenyan’s administration are job creators. Democrats are incredibly stupid.

After reading Cat’s Cradle, I could only get a few pages into PP before thinking “Gee, I think I know where this is going” and put it aside.

This could be for the “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military.

Obama is building a robot army!

So now he praises technology? Just a few days ago he was talking about how ATM machines (technology) are taking jobs away.
Does the dunderheaded fool say whatever pops into his feeble brain?
(A rhetorical question)

I can’t decide whether Barry is just incredibly stupid or he is toying with us.
