Bush on $4 Gas and McCain the Foreigner

Bush: What $4 Gas? - Apparently Bush was surprised that gas could go as high as $4 by summer. I don't know why, gas always goes up for the spring/summer vacation season and since $3 is the new regular price of gas, it can only go higher. His response was the belief that making his tax cuts permanent would fix it. What gas prices have to do with it is beyond me but then Bush isn't particularly bright. Then again he is a gas man and gas companies continue to experience record profits so that might have something to do with it.

McCain A Foreigner? - Apparently John McCain was born in Panama Canal back in 1936 raising doubts that he can run for President. According to the Constitution he has to be natural-born and Panama isn't the US. However, back then the Panama Canal was US owned landed, protected by US troops, paid for by US funds. Generally, much like army bases and embassies, this usually marks the land as a pocket of the US right in the middle of another country. As a result, yes, McCain is a natural born US citizen.
