"I also want to keep an eye on the robots in case they try anything."
A president with a sense of humor. One we can laugh with, not at. In his recent "Educate to Innovate" campaign speech, he referred to his push for engineering sciences for young people. That quip was after stating that, "As President, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering".

Someone has been watching scifi movies instead of reading "My Pet Goat"...

2. More like..
Robotics for war. Or other inhuman, inhumane devices that fly, hover, explode, go by ground, can be tiny with something like Semtec in them...kaaboom..how great to encourage an operation as the Dr is deemed an imperfect healer, without touch people die. Not just babies.

I am unpregnant with 3am wisdom according to myself and the important thing is, especially when in a minefield not to waste time over words...
