The definition of natural born citizen per the intent of the US Constitution is the issue, it appears there was a higher standard implied.
… The whole purpose of that clause in the Constitution in the first place was, after the then recent revolution, to prevent the King of England from sending British subjects over to run for President, thereby undoing the revolution by virtue of the ballot box. So… they limited the eligibility for President to people who were a.) already in the colonies by the time of ratification of the Constitution, or b.) people born in the new nation after ratification. — Free Republic

OBAMA: Get Used To High Gas Prices. “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.”
High gas prices aren’t a bug, they’re a feature.
UPDATE: Rapid Reaction: I got an email from Haley Barbour’s office with this reaction: “Instead of changing his policies, President Obama is trying to blame the American people for skyrocketing gas prices by saying they should trade-in their cars.”
ANOTHER UPDATE: 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! Nothing like a compliant media, eh? Hope you got a screenshot.
In fact, I did. And a good thing, because the story’s been almost completely rewritten. But the “memory hole” doesn’t work very well any more. Here, for the sake of history, is the story as it used to be. And if anyone from the Associated Press would like to email me to explain this change, I’m all ears.
Maybe he’s just trying to sell some of those Chevy Volts.
MORE: Here’s the video. The real action is right at the end. Think we’ll see this in a campaign commercial?

Instead of trading in our cars, let’s trade in some of our politicians — starting with him.
It puts a more positive meaning on the word RECALL.
My sentiments eggxactly Andrea! (The video that is!)
Hey girl! How you doin!!! It’s me! Mellie!
Mellie!
Still get a smile on my face when I remember you and Darla boogeying on the bus ride from Boston to DC, singing and dancing to “We’re The Tea Party Express”. A fun night with lots of laughter!
Keep doing the good work you’re doing. Maybe we’ll see you later this summer?!!
