Obama Suddenly Finds Economy Fundamentals ‘Sound’

Hmm, that’s strange. In September of 2008 John McCain said:

“Our economy, I think, is still — the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times.”

Barack Obama pounced on McCain’s statements calling him out of touch:

“I just think he doesn’t know,” Obama said in Grand Junction, Colo. “He doesn’t get what’s happening between the mountain in Sedona where he lives and the corridors of Washington where he works…. Why else would he say, today, of all days — just a few hours ago — that the fundamentals of the economy are still strong? Senator — what economy are you talking about?”

Well guess who suddenly wants to praise the fundamentals of the American economy. You got it, Obama. After meeting with one of his economic advisers, Obama stated a rewrapping of McCain’s apparently disastrous views:

“But if we are keeping focused on all the fundamentally sound aspects of our economy,” he added, “all the outstanding companies, workers, all the innovation and dynamism in this economy, then we’re going to get through this. And I’m very confident about that.”

Perhaps once Obama realized he had no plan, no clue how to pull up the economy he knew he’d have to rely on those “fundamentally strong” aspects of our economy.
