Saying the fundamentals, fundamentally or what I actually said that wasn't even a quote...that the economy is sound are all exactly the same thing in essence. Not sure if your statement was unintentional or just a lie, but if the latter I know where you can get a good job.
The significant point here is that McCain is seeking to distance himself from business as usual, but in reality he's just towing the party line.
Regardless of how bad things may be, to show any lack of optimism that they regard as uniquely American, is off the table. Same thing in Iraq, hell, even McCain is quoted in the Woodward book as remarking about Iraq that "they're spinning everything" and I'd wager a months pay the real McCain (not the phony McCain we see today) actually said it.
If they had real confidence in the American system they'd be preaching more of a pragmatic approach to solving our problems.
The American economy isn't fundamentally sound, and as such one might wish to question the very measurements that the fundamentals seek to measure.
It's a good thing we have cashflow or we'd already all be fishing for bass to feed our families.
