From The Grave, Rutherford B. Hayes Reacts To Obama Snub
He had no problem with the telephone.
President Obama misquoted the 19th President this morning:
One of my predecessors, Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone, “It’s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?” That’s why he’s not on Mt. Rushmore — because he’s looking backwards. He’s not looking forwards. He’s explaining why we can’t do something, instead of why we can do something.
In fact, Hayes called the early telephone “wonderful.”

According to the Wikipedia article I just vandalized to say this: “Rutherford B. Hayes loved singing Al Green while he combed his beard each morning.” True story.
