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.

Obama reads from the teleprompter words for re-election that he does not believe in the slightest.

The Obama Regime remains at total war with the capitalist enemy.

“President Obama says technological innovations such as robots can help pump jobs into the economy”

Wait- I thought robots, like robotic bank tellers, cost us jobs?

Wake up GOP:

“Free trade” is going to become a powerful club against Republicans, if the GOP doesn’t get as far away from it as possible. And soon.

Not much time left. This isn’t Kansas any more, Dorothy.

Supporting foreign jobs, won’t win any elections. Especially in this economy.

America first.

Wakie wakie, GOP...

Each robot does the job of ten union ‘workers’ [sic], and you don’t have to pay benefits.

I’ve been saying for quite a while now that if he was replaced with a robot, the robot wouldn’t need the teleprompter.
