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.

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. Ferret Mike  posted on  2011-12-06   16:34:08 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3.

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. jwpegler  posted on  2011-12-06   16:39:18 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #4. To: jwpegler (#3) "The jobs and wealth created by new technologies has far surpassed any job dislocations that they caused." 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.

That is obvious, 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. jwpegler  posted on  2011-12-06   17:02:04 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #6. To: jwpegler (#5) President only mentions the fact that some jobs have been lost due to the development of the Internet. You do not demonstrate he is doing anymore then stating what for all intents and purposes is a stipulated fact. He knows opportunity lost is also opportunity gained. He knows full well that when a door closes, often two open to replace it. So unless you have a citation to material that proves your black contention of doom, you are just spinning your wheels here.

To: Ferret Mike (#6) (Edited) He knows opportunity lost is also opportunity gained. How has he demonstrated that he knows this??? He hasn't. You are projecting your understanding on him. It's very clear that Obama is trying to convince Americans that poor economy is no fault of his own, which is why he blames the internet and ATM machines. Fortunately, one of the great things about the internet is that it has destroyed the monopoly that the establishment east coast media had on disseminating national and international news. So, very few people are buying his B.S. jwpegler  posted on  2011-12-06 17:20:02 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 6.
