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'...

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.

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

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

I caught that too.

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

Apparently Obomba was sleeping during history class.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Actually Wikepedia says the automobile was invented by Karl Benz

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.

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

Fearless leader will not be questioned or mocked.

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.
