The quote is GONE. Reader Michael Broderick writes:

“Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.”

I was confused when I clicked the link on your page and couldn’t find this quote. So I googled the quote. It shows up in all the google hits but when I click on those articles, it’s nowhere to be found. Looks like AP scrubbed it from all copies of the article!
Glenn Reynolds notes, following an inquiry from a reader, that the AP scrubbed an earlier version of this news item which contained the following anecdote: “Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.”

Reynolds continues: “In fact, I [got a screenshot]. And a good thing, because the story’s been almost completely rewritten.

"If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know," Obama said laughingly. "You might want to think about a trade-in."

Indeed. I'm going to trade-in the occupier of the White House for a real President as soon as I legally can.

MamaDearest ~ He is a blessing alright, to Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Chavez, Castro, George Soros, Al Sharpton, the New Black Panthers, ACORN, LaRaza, his union thugs, Nancy Pelosi, the ACLU, the usual democrat anti-Constitution-anti-Bill of Rights crowd, et al.
