Not in those exact words. I am going by memory here, but I think it was the "The economy is fundamentally strong" comment that has caused them grief. (This is the same comment that John McCain made in the US).
Like I say, I'm not too sure whether they knew more and were sugar coating this for the citizenry or whether they just had no idea. The more I think about it though, someone around them should've realised that this was a big deal!
