Obama Errs in Saying Americans Invented Automobiles

WASHINGTON -- It was clear from President Obama's address to Congress on Tuesday that he's a believer in the American automobile industry, but his grasp of automotive history suggests he could use a refresher course.

Obama said his administration won't protect auto makers from their own bad practices but is committed to a retooled auto industry, saying, "I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it."

“It is like he doesn’t even exist.”

I advise you to enjoy your oblivion. Soon it will be mandatory to watch The One pontificate (AKA as defecate).

... the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it. - Barack Obama

I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. - Barack Obama

America's confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor - Barack Obama

In Barack’s mind, history began with him. Once he was asked, what do you call the time before you arrived. He replied “B.O.”

"Am I the only one who did not hear Obama speak tonight? Nope. To the camps for both of you!'

The dope spoke? I missed it too. I guess we'll figure out what he said on opening bell. Sell Sell!

Germany is apparently the 51st state, which leaves only 6 more states that Zero knows about but the rest of us are still waiting to discover.

If I hear another democrat say, “Doing nothing is not an option”. I am going to slap them. Nobody is suggesting doing nothing!!!

This is from the same folks who chanted over and over,

“It’s just about sex!”

Please.

I caught that, what a bozo for putting that in his speech. Anybody who knows the auto industry knows that Benz invented the first car and Ford built the first assembly line. Course he lied about everything else so what.

History always was a weak subject for the One.

Economics always was a weak subject for the One, and it shows bigtime. International relations always was a weak subject for the One, and the other folks are already taking advantage of it. Understanding of American values and aspirations always was a weak subject for the One and his agenda shows this very clearly. I could go on but I think everyone has the picture....

“Am I the only one...?”

Me, too. I can’t look at him and listen to his lies and history rewrites without becoming physically ill.

The Trans continental Railroad was built before the Civil War. They really didn’t fact check at all.

Am I the only one who did not hear

No Sir! Refusing to have to hear more bs coming from “their hero ZERO”, We watched the 1st 2 parts of John Adams.

Seeing the trials and tribulations our Founding Fathers went through and to stand up and say “we have had enough” when they may well have been signing their own death warrant, was inspiring. It made me hopeful of having such conviction and braveness if our time comes to again declare WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

I refuse to listen to Obama on TV, radio, or any other medium he choses. I am just hoping the four years will pass quickly, without much Damage to America.
