Obama Thinks America Invented The Automobile

#12   North Michconsin No that's East Consin

Of course. It's a common formulation. In England they have Essex (East Saxons) and Wessex (West Saxon). We in America have East Consin and Wis Consin. It's just a matter of knowing the history of population flows. The Consin tribe migrated to the area hundreds of years ago, and intermarried with the locals. The Wis Consins migrated a bit further when population pressures threatened to overwhelm the ability of the land to support them all. But both subtribes are known for their characteristic, "Yah, ok," and broad vowels to this day.

#10  Silly Rantburgers ...

He said "the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it", NOT that America invented it.

He's simply making policy for both the US and for Germany. (That's why he gave a speech in Berlin). Would you expect any less of the President of the World? (And the Messiah).

Oh, my leg is tingling again!

#9  While America did not invent the automobile (H Ford didn't invent the assembly line eitehr) we damn well made sure it didn't become something other than a playtoy for the rich.

Everybodyknows that. North Michconsin No that's East Consin

Well, we did invent the airplane, the misguided claims of foreign jingoists notwithstanding.
The airplane is therefore EVIL, EVIIIILLLLL, automatically so because it is American and especially so since it is used mostly to bomb the innocent and transport fatcat corporate profiteers.

Things you didnÂ’t know about American airplanes:

-All terrorism and oppression is a reaction to the Dire Effects of American Bombing™
- Pilots are required to kill a fluffy bunny with their bare claws and eat its still-beating heart before they are allowed to graduate from flight school.
-US military pilots must have their guilt centers surgically excised, they are each paid 20 million dollars a year, and they are forced to kill themselves when they reach retirement age.
-Jet fuel is made from the processed body fat of anally electrocuted chinchillas.
-American “smart” bombs are programmed to seek out petting zoos, kindergartens, and mosques in that order.
-Both Halliburton and Blackwater have aviation divisions. ‘Nuff said.
