He was going on the same GDP information that was out when McCain said the fundamentals of the economy are strong.
And I'm pretty sure he never even said that the rate wouldn't get above 8%. I think the quote was that if Congress does not pass the stimulus bill then the rate will go above 8%. In middle school I'm sure we all learned logic and ~A -> B does not mean that A -> ~B. Yes, it's a misleading statement if he truly felt we were going over 8% either way but it still doesn't mean he said we wouldn't go over 8%.

You should be a politician. Can you come up with a few more excuses?
