Do you think an adult American who thinks the automobile was invented in America can ever have any meaningful input into salvaging the American car industry?
There is a difference between no information and misinformation. What else does he have wrong?
What's really scary is that its very unlikely he writes his own speeches, so his staff got it wrong too. What else do they all have wrong?

That is the silliest nonsense I've seen yet today. Can you even explain what knowing about the earliest roots of the automobile has to do with the industry's current problems?

Yeah i heard obama say that...had a repub said that the media would have been calling him an idiot for not knowing the modern automobile was invented in germany (predecessor of Daimler benz)...but since the messiah said it it's swept under the rug and all is well...
Holy Cow!
I have to agree with Adamb I doubt most people know the "motor carriage" was invented by Germans.

What's even worse was when he was criticized by foreign leaders for not knowing their history. His knowledge of history is lacking and everybody knew it when he said Iran was a small country and not a big threat.
