I, Teleprompter

Obama’s eliminates the middle man. Or bypasses, for the moment, to put it more diplomatically, in order to speak for himself. Tired of taking the fall. Chalk up another for Isaac Asimov, who pretty much predicted this would happen. I think we may have a Law 1 violation here:

1.  
   1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
   2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
   3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
