"Layoffs too often became permanent, not part of the business cycle. And these changes didn't just affect blue collar workers. If you were a bank teller or a phone operator or a travel agent, you saw many in your profession replaced by ATMs and the internet," President Obama said at a campaign event in Kansas.

Sounds like just the facts to me. Email and other Internet functions have hurt the busin3ss of the U.S. Postal Service, banks, travel agents, and many other job niches.

That always happens when such a profound change in technology takes place. cars hur the blacksmith and livery trade and meant the end of many uses of the horse. Freight trains with containers that could be carried by trucks hurt job importunities for truck driving jobs, self service gasoline purchases hurt job opportunities for entry level gas pumping employment, cell phone hurt telephone lineman and other hardline infrastructure employment.

Do you actually have a good point here? I aske because I'm not seeing it.

It's called progress.

The jobs and wealth created by new technologies has far surpassed any job dislocations that they caused.

Yes, the good point here is that no one blamed ATM machines for job losses in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.

Yet 30 years after ATMs became commonplace, Obama is blaming them for HIS miserable failure as President.

Again, winners take responsibility for their mistakes and losers blame others.

Obama is a complete loser.

That's the good point here, whether or not you are smart enough to see it.

President Obama obviously knows the same thing. That is obvious, and I am always quite smart enough to see that.

Your posturing in where you infer he doesn't has no corroboration to it.

You are missing the point. Let me say it really, really slow so that you can understand.

WINNERS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN MISTAKES.

LOSERS BLAME OTHERS.

OBAMA IS BLAMING THE INTERNET, ATM MACHINES, JAPANESE EARTHQUAKES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IMAGINABLE FOR THE ROTTEN ECONOMY.

OBAMA IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER LOSER RIGHT DOWN THERE WITH JIMMY CARTER.

That is the point that I've now repeated three times on this thread.
