Obama Thinks America Invented The Automobile

In tonight's mini-State of the Union, President Obama said the "nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it." One problem. We didn't. That would be Karl Benz, in Mannheim, Germany. Just sayin'...

[mojito]

What a stooooooopid chimpy McHitler.

Oh sorry. I forgot myself. Only Bush was stoopid, a chimp, and a McHitler.

To call Obama those things is racist. Very racist.

And I'm so very very sorry.

Obama is the greatest, most inspiring, most brilliant man in the history of the world.

[colorado tanker]

At least he didn't call himself a jelly donut.

[caseinpoint]

LOL. He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. Fight on, Mojito.

[SandWMan]

He’s also going to cure cancer, isn’t he?

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe one of his college intern speechwriters read it on Wikipedia or Facebook or on some blog.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe he’ll make Christopher Reeves get up and walk again.

[beethovenfan]

Hey, the One don’t need no stinkin’ facts!

[SandWMan]

Ich bin ein Behlinah.

[Just another Joe]

I caught that too.

Those who will not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Apparently Obomba was sleeping during history class.

[ConorMacNessa]

I thought Gottlieb Daimler also had something to do with it. Am I wrong?

[nickcarraway]

That’s false. Al Gore invented the automobile. Much to his later chagrin.

[Mengerian]

Do not question Obama. Obey him. Hang on with breathless anticipation to his every word. He's never wrong.

You must have incorrectly understood what you believed to be historical fact. Should you continue to espouse these falsehoods, as deemed by the Obama Ministry of Information, you will be subject to fines and imprisonment.

[Hoodat]

I don’t believe Obama was taught American History at his Indonesian muslim school.

[Brookhaven]

What is amazing is you know this was a pre-written comment in a speech that must have been reviewed by several top aides.

Right up there with the 57 states comment.

[Kaslin]

Maybe one of his college intern speechwriters read it on Wikipedia or Facebook or on some blog.

Actually Wikepedia says the automobile was invented by Karl Benz

[yazoo]

Stupid moron. No one invented the automobile. It was an assembly of different technologies into a logical horseless carriage. Ford just made them affordable through mass production.

[a fool in paradise]

Tomorrow it may say something else. Stalinists revise history all the time.

Fearless leader will not be questioned or mocked.

[usmcobra]

It’s ok, he thinks we invented the VW as well....

[Mengerian]

I hope someone is saving all of Obama’s malapropisms, to make a mockery out of him with calendars, books, etc. like they did to President George W. Bush.

[CodeToad]

Obama the Dunce.

[NavyCanDo]

I have heard him say this in a previous speech, so his handlers have had the chance to correct him on it, but didn’t. I guess the focus groups marks on the line have been high, so just keep saying it. The zombies won’t be smart enough to figure it out.

[AmericanVictory]

We thought that everyone knew that the auto was invented in one of the 57 states.

[stuartcr]

This news is earthshaking, thanks.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“I thought Gottlieb Daimler also had something to do with it.”

Daimler invented the ten-cent piece. It’s not widely known, but Karl Benz was also the inventor of the auto accident, where it was once remarked “that’s the way the Mercedes Benz” after he wrapped his invention around a tree.

[Kaslin]

Who was the Mercedes Benz named after?

[tx_eggman]

Obama is the greatest, most inspiring, most brilliant man in the history of the world.

I heard that Obama kicked Chuck Norris's ass.

[a fool in paradise]

He may have invented the auto accident but I don’t think he invented the trial lawyer. Shakespeare was not a fan of the lawyers.

[Paladin2]

The lovely Mercedes, of course.

[LambSlave]

Maybe he’ll make Christopher Reeves get up and walk again.

After raising him from the dead, presumably.

[Kaslin]

That is a very fitting picture

[Professor_Leonide]

I thought that same thing - Henry Ford may have perfected the assembly line, but it was the Germans who invented the automobile. Or perhaps it was the English.

[Kaslin]

No, you are correct

[Paladin2]

At least he didn't call himself a jelly donut.

Obomba and Obiden are both paczkis

[Paladin2]

At least he didn't call himself a jelly donut.

Obomba and Obiden are both paczkis

[Kaslin]

Yeah, but who was she?

[Paladin2]

"“that’s the way the Mercedes Benz”"

I thought that was the first porno flick.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Scary part was this was written in advance and on Barry’s telepresidenter.

[silverleaf]

That’s OK, he thinks we bombed Pearl Harbor, too

[Tennessee_Bob]

Daimler invented the ten-cent piece. It’s not widely known, but Karl Benz was also the inventor of the auto accident, where it was once remarked “that’s the way the Mercedes Benz” after he wrapped his invention around a tree.

Your comments have been noted and passed on to the appropriate authorities. Just relax when they show up. The stun grenades and the tasers don't hurt as much if you're relaxed...

[a fool in paradise]

He IS the Obamessiah...

[Paladin2]

[silverleaf]

That’s OK, he thinks one bomb fell on Pearl Harbor, too

Probably thinks we nuked it

[a fool in paradise]

“...from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world.” - B.Obama

[momincombatboots]

Maybe the invention was in the 52nd state.

[zeaal]

Actually it is his youngster speech writer who doesn't know his history ... then it is all the staff who reviewed the speech and then finally it would be Obama himself ... they are so silly. They just make stuff up.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

Hey, he was confused since he didn’t have his breathalyzer.. err inhalator..err. um.. HOPENCHANGE, DAMMIT!

[Paladin2]

Or this one. Obviously not R. Diesel's daughter:

[Arizona Carolyn]

~LOL~ that’s fine, but someone else read the speech and Obama delivered the speech; clearly NONE of them knew Henry Ford didn’t invent the automobile.

[colorado tanker]

Wow, that one sent me to Google! LOL!
