President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren't hiring are not because of his policies, it's because the economy is so automated.

As we sink deeper and deeper into recovery...
If only the government could be automated.
It’s time to outlaw ATMs!
And hire special government-subsidized SEIU tellers in their place.
This sucks at telling stories.
Crap analogy.
Remember when he blamed under-inflated tires for high gasoline prices?
This guy sucks at telling stories.
Crap analogy.
“fixed”
“A dingo ate my recovery!”
This is pretty accurate. Unskilled workers who perform simple tasks are no longer needed in many industries.
If you look at unemployment, high school dropouts have a 25% unemployment rate, while college graduates have a 6% unemployment rate.
When you can’t blame Bush for the economy you created, blame inanimate machinery...
But if memory serves, ATMs existed all through the Bush years without this problem... Hmmmmmm....
Wait until he hears about online banking!!!
and yet he wants to train more Engineers to design things like ATMs, Kiosks and other automated technology...what an ass
Well, I'm glad he isn't. The more he makes idiotic remarks like this, the more he digs a hole for himself.
And teleprompters now do the job a human President had to do...
Somebody will have to modify the Wikipedia page on ATMs to show the first one being installed after 2008.....
“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.”

And, per Obozo, this is a bad thing? The Kenyan is blaming small and big business owners for unemployment by blaiming them for not hiring unnecessary workers?
Obammie really is delusional!
And this is not the first time Obama has blamed business owners.

Bring back typewriters!!!!
Indeed. Make the price of hiring them well beyond the value of the work, and cheaper alternatives will be found. Some jobs just aren’t worth 2 gallons of gas per hour.
A far better example would be the automated checkout lanes at stores, but I see his point, we need fewer workers.
