Reuters does not quite pull the trigger and blame Republicans for the debt squabble. However, they are making a case that the Republicans are to be blamed, most likely because of the debt squabble, when the economic recovery fails to materialize. Stay tuned for more articles that build the case.

One of the consequences of too much “hope and change” and “fundamental transformation”.

Like all the radical left-wing hack rags, they will be blaming the Repubs for EVERYTHING that Obama causes and does.

The Repubs had better realize their existence as a major party is on the line with the REAL American people and they had better hold their line, and fight Obama’s anti-American tyranny.

Respondents saw a 20 percent chance of a new recession over the next year

Don't these people ever get tired of carrying the democrat's water? 20% chance my ass. We are already in a DEPRESSION and its not the fault of this debt ceiling.

“Even if this worst-case scenario is not borne out, a firm majority of respondents — 38 out of 54 — said the uncertainty brought about by the political acrimony over the debt has already hurt economic growth.”

WTF?
Manufacturers are still makin’ stuff like usual.
Consumers are still buyin’ stuff like usual.
Obumo already wasted $4Tril, bailed out unproductive unions, forced Obumocare down our throats, totally screwed foreign relations LONG before the so-called debt crisis made news.
How do these economists figure standard congressional debate has hurt economic growth?
That’s horsepucky.

Why do I think that this downgrading has been in the works for a long time, and that washington knew. And why do I think that this ‘debt ceiling’ crap is just a way for obama and dems to affix blame on repubicans?

[Cheerio]

Of course the GOP will take the blame. Imagine Obozo was requesting the debt ceiling be raised and Nancy and Harry were in charge - there would be no debate. Dictators don't like to be challenged - that is what Nov 2010 was all about. It is a given that the GOP will take the blame - grow a pair, and do the job we sent you there to do. As a reminded that was to put a stop to the RAT party madness.

"a prospect that some economists say has been compounded by the acrimonious political fight over what is normally a procedural legislative vote on the debt."

Guess Reuters wasn't around in 2006...............
