Obama Reiterates His “No Skynets On My Watch” Pledge

Kudos to our geeky President for delivering this clever line while presenting his ” Educate to Innovate ” campaign, which aims to promote the development of student inventors:

As President, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering.

And I want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything.

He’s no John Connor, but at least Obama has seen enough movies to know what could happen if he’s not paying attention .
