LMAO.

Backbencher senator Obama, that dumb Biden and one who can't say a sentence completely ,Pelosi.

Lot of credit taking yesterday and this one just fell flat.

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."

The problem: The credit for internal combustion engines generally is given to German engineer, Karl Benz, who designed and built the world's first practical automobile in 1885. A steam-powered car was invented in 1769 by French inventor Nicolas Cugnot. Americans, on the other hand, are given credit for the mass production of cars.

Nevertheless, Obama said millions of jobs and scores of communities depend on saving the industry. His administration is weighing the fate of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC. The two have received more than $17 billion in federal loans and are seeking an additional $21.6 billion.

Both automakers have pressing needs. General Motors has said it could run out of money by the end of March and needs $2 billion next month and $2.6 billion in April to remain solvent.

Not to be overlooked is the meddling in the auto industry by the Congress of the United States which has passed rule upon rule, regulation upon regulation and attempted to force auto makers to build cars Americans don't want and won't buy.

Your comment is well taken however and it's only necessary to listen to O'Bomber, O'Biden and O'Pelosi for a few sentences on any subject to know beyond doubt that they're talking/bloviating out of their lower orifices.
