At an event at a Spanish windmill firm in Pennsylvania, President Obama suggested Americans consider selling their gas guzzlers for more fuel efficient cars. The president chided one questioner, saying: "If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know,you might want to think about a trade-in."

Fortunately, the Fall River Herald News (MA) has the original quote, for now.
Now with video:
Does the AP in anyway note that the article's contents have been changed/corrected?
