Aiko Could Not Be Reached for Comment

I suppose having robot politicians enjoys the novelty of never having been tried before:

Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro said Monday that a “robot” would be better in the White House than President Barack Obama — or any of the Republicans candidates in the 2012 election race.

“Is it not obvious that the worst of all is the absence in the White House of a robot capable of governing the United States and preventing a war that would end the life of our species?” Castro, 85, wrote in one of the “reflections” he often publishes in Cuba’s state-controlled media.”

For once in my life, I find myself agreeing with Fidel Castro.
