Obama: “The Fundamentals Of The Economy Are Sound, Not Strong.”
Yesterday an old-style reporter asked Robert Gibbs about John McCain’s the White House’s new stance that, “the fundamentals of the economy are strong sound.”

It’s like a Saturday Night Live routine”
I always get a kick out of the crowd whining when Obama tells them they’ve been ca...
