Buggy Whip Obama

Obama thinks ATMs cause unemployment --

No, really, he does! That's not a joke headline. He said it out loud in front of the whole world and everything. On yesterday's Today Show, Obama told Ann Curry his brilliant theory about why the economy hasn't been doing so well since he became president: "There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don't go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you're using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate." That's right, the Smartest President Ever just said innovation is a job-killer.

See, here's how that's supposed to work Bam.  The buggy whip was obsoleted by the automobile, which invention spurred entrepreneurial juices in men like Henry Ford to create a whole new industry here, and around the world.  But not in the Soviet Union.  Why was that Bam, Mr. Smartest President Ever?  Because economic laws are immutable in that  respect.

I was going to call him an asshole, but even an asshole is useful for shitting. He doesn't even rise to that level.

For a progressive, he really seems to be against progress.

There's a video from 2005 going around where Rick Perry tells a rude reporter, "Adios Mofo". Sounds like a campaign slogan to me, even fits on a bumper sticker.

Typical Democrat view: We need more serfs to be slaves to the Lords....

Next The Dear Golfer will be complaining that bulldozers and backhoes put people out of work.

We need more elevator operator jobs.

(Remember those? The operator would ask you which floor you wanted and push the button for you.)

Ban the cotton gin! Put the inner city back to work!

Chuck - I was so in awe of the elevator and the operator, I couldn't imagine a more exciting job.
