Our Luddite President And More Thoughts On The Eeeeevvviiiiilllll ATM Culture

I have been thinking more about the Dear Leader, President Obama, and his comments about the eeeeevvviiiiiillllls of our "ATM economy".
What I have come to realize that the inner socialist, no the inner Luddite is what came out in that stream of consciousness.
Now some fellow conservatives do not like when we point out the obvious, but it is so important to see when the Dear Leader, President Obama, is teleprompterless, he says what he really thinks.
And apparently, the Dear Leader, President Obama, thinks that the banking of yore was so much better.
Yes, when banks were only opened Monday through Thursday from 10am to 3pm. And 10am to 5 or 6pm on Fridays. No Saturdays. No Sundays. Every holiday closed. When lines went out the door because people had to figure their cash flow. And take time off from their job to make a trip to the bank.
Hence the now dated term "banker's hours".
Not that banker's hours made the job of working at a bank any easier.
See, this is how life was in the old Soviet Union.
One had to line up just for the basics of life. Things that we take for granted. For food, medicine, often items rationed by the state. And items that overwhelmingly most Americans can attain.
For instance, after buying the new RVFTLC Manor, we had to purchase a new refrigerator, washer and dryer. Yeah, we did not buy it all at once. We had to combine our paychecks. Get the fridge first. Then the washer and dryer.
In the old Soviet Union, and any nation that still clings to such a sick ideology, one could not walk into the Sears, Best Buy or such a place. No, no, no. One had to be put on a long-term waiting list. It would take years to get the three items I mentioned above. For Mrs. RVFTLC and I, it took a couple of weeks.
See, socialism is not about making things better and or improved. It is to keep people busy. Making lousy products people do not want because they are crap. Yet because it is all they have available in some parts of the world, well you get the picture.
There are many people in the United States that think this wonderful technological age is eeeeevvviiiiilllll.
And deep down, I suspect that the Dear Leader, President Obama, is one of them.
Thus the ATM economy remark is what this guy really thinks. He thinks that it is just damn awful that people can have access to their money 24/7. He thinks that it is awful that advances have been made that the overwhelming majority of Americans are better off than those before us.
The Dear Leader, President Obama, exposed his inner Luddite. And we who believe in progress and a free economy need to not let this go. We need to remind the American people who really stands with them. It is not Barack Hussein Obama.
