Didn't We Hear This Before?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't John McCain say this during the campaign? Didn't he say that the "economy was sound?" Didn't the Democrats and Obama himself chastise the Arizona senator for "wildly" saying that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong?"

He did. And it was probably a factor in his losing bid for the White House.
But now, the One has said it and ...oh, no problem. If the Messiah says it, then it's the gospel, right?

"I think it's a recognition that the stability not only of our economic system, but also our political system, is extraordinary," said President Obama. "I think that not just the Chinese government, but every investor, can have absolute confidence in the soundness of investments in the United States."

Interesting, wouldn't you say? I mean McCain was senile (and loses the election due to this and the MSM's "objectivity") yet, Obama is just being "confident." Like I said, interesting.

Ace of Spades has a take on this as well.
