Fox Nation: President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren't hiring is not because of his policies, it's because the economy is so automated. ... "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."First of all, ATMs replaced tellers like 20 years ago, so it is complete BS to say it is a factor of today's high unemployment. Second of all, isn't this the same guy who is saying we need to invest (i.e. waste more borrowed money) on new technology in order to "Win The Future" (WTF)? Did he think about what will happen to all those gas station attendants if his electric car wet dream comes true? Let me guess, he will just have a nice laugh about how Green Jobs weren't so green after all.
Get the hook, this clown is done.
