The Dear Leader Blames ATMs For Weak Economy. WTF?!

I must say, according to the Obamawhore media, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann combined are the dimmest bulbs in the United States.
Yet the Dear Leader, President Obama, is the most brilliant man evah to be president of the United States.
Forty-two other men can not hold a candle to the Dear Leader, President Obama.
Well, not so fast people.
According to the Dear Leader, President Obama, there is a serious problem why the jobs are not occurring in Recovery Summer II
A T M machines.
W T F ? !
Really, you can't make this up no matter how hard you try. But here it is straight from the Dear Leader's lips:

"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."

Very interesting.
If you take it on face value.
Which of course you can not.
A little research by National Review's Jonah Goldberg notes that in fact and in deed, there are more bank branches. Yes, there are more ATM machines. And guess what? There are more bank tellers now than ever! Now, the stats that are used are from 2002, but the fact is that there are still more bank branches, tellers and ATMs.
Mr. Goldberg also points out that ATMs need to be maintained. And guess what that means?
J O B S.
Someone need to make the ATM machine. And some one needs to maintain the machines. And some one needs to fix machines that breakdown.
Mr. Goldberg also notes that there have been some problems in the age of globalization.
But the fact is that automation can not be blamed for the fact that the Dear Leader, President Obama, has instituted policies that are killing jobs.
That is the issue. Not the fact that Americans can access their money any time of day from a machine. And that they can always see a human being at one of the many bank branches that still exist all over the United States.
