The emotion is present with the subject of the primary claim, but is logically independent of it. Propositional attitudes, though, look more like ``I intend to go to the market'', where the main claim is logically subordinate to the intention: I am not claiming that I am actually going to the market, but merely that I intend to." Since hope is a propositional indicator it turns out those who said they hope the president is honest were right. Some attitudinals do make a claim.
