Silly Little Country

Ed Morrissey gives me a laugh

I missed this howler (and it does remind me of comments that Obama's greatest lacunae are his lack of understanding of economics and history):

And yes, when Obama said this, I did laugh:

And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.

Wow — I hope Germany never does, either! Did we suddenly become the Soviets, taking credit for everyone else’s inventions? Doesn’t anyone fact-check Obama’s speeches before making them? I doubt many people will remember this speech for that, or for anything else, either, but it’s a particularly sloppy mistake.
