When did he say this. It might have just been one of those occasional faux pas. Everybody makes mistakes, you know?

Well it's arguable who invented the first automobile. Granted, it was not an American. Credit is often given to a British, Belgian, Russian, or Frenchman. Each had a sort of self moving vehicle, but it's up to interpretation which was actually an automobile.

Althought American's didn't invent the automobile, he may have been referencing the fact that it was Ford and Olds who first made production of automobiles efficient enough to make them practical and affordable for large scale use.

I like the title =)

I'm guessing you were watching that thing that's invading all our channels, I'm not.
Anyway, AGH!!!! A mistake!!! Oh noes! Okay.

Well I looked it up, because I did not know who actually invented the automobile myself, and I've learned there are several nations who are 'responsible' for founding the ancestor to our modern vehicles. None of them mentioned are American?
Does not bother me, but it's kinda funny =P Perhaps he was talking about something else, a certain type of car because I've noticed in some of his speeches he tends to say things that what seems one half of America does not understand and the other half does...if that even makes any sense o_O

Everybody makes mistakes, you know?

It seems most of the bases here are covered, so all I'm going to say at this point is "in before comparison to Bushisms!"

Well, Leonardo da Vinci thinked about a car moving by springs, but like many of his inventions.... It didn't work.
At 1769 Nicolas Josef Cugnot invented a car moing by steam.

It went 4 kilometres per hour, so it was really slow.
At 1885 Karl F. Benz and Gottlieb Daimler (Both from Germany.)
invented at sametime a car moving by oil.

Hmm... But witch is the first car?

well an american made the automobile more affordable so most decent people could have one

Do you know what his exact statment was MudPuddle?

I think it is comminly recognised that Benz/Daimler made the first vehicles that was seen as a car. Most things before that were just kind of random vehicles. Thogh as stated before it was the Americans that, as usual, built on the idea and made it commercially viable through mass production.

They where very good at war.

i think this post has no point

still sucks

hmm i heard the guy who invented the automobile was some guy named Otto but i guess its not very clear on who invented it first
