I quote, 'if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.'

Obama said. "His campaign actually said, and I quote, 'if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.' "

I have heard so many times this exact sentence over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...
I went on internet and try to figure it out myself, who could be the idiot enough to say that in public even if its true.. Found none, zilch, nada...
all I found is:
1. On October 4, the Washington Post wrote an article in which several Republicans signaled a change in McCain's strategy. The article quotes an unnamed "senior Republican operative"
2. An October 6 article in the New York Daily News quotes "a top McCain strategist" another unnamed quote

Can someone please help please who exactly quoted this quote coming out of Sen. Obama's mouth again and again... or it is just his strategy to tell lie again and again and full the people.

Looks like even CNN is not able to find proof for Obama and put this as disputed..
