yep.
but, Moody’s and Standard and Poors both said it wasn’t the debt ceiling. it was the spending.
they said it would required cuts of at least 4 trillion to avoid the downgrade.

IF Boehner had stood his ground, and gotten even that minimum,
there wouldn’t be a downgrade at all.
(and probably not the Stock crash and gold boom this week.)

He could have helped save America. Instead he sold it down the river.

Treasury Department officials have been making the case for months that S&P should not downgrade US debt.

The above proves this was an issue long before the Republicans held out for spending decreases.

Furthermore, which would cause you to be questioned: (1) Getting control of your spending, or (2) Asking for more credit so you could continue your big-spending ways?

Obama, of course, knew this was coming, as the above quote indicates, and picked this debt ceiling media fight on purpose in order to shift the blame or at least to share it.

As far as I’m concerned, they’re all on the other side save the TEA team.

Yes! Yes! Let’s put all of our bets on Obamaponzinomics, since that bastards track record is so good. Bush’s fault, S & P’s fault, Tea Party’s fault, Conservatives fault, negotiation time length’s fault, Rich People’s fault,......it is everyone’s fault except the people in this damn administration who has the decision-making authority and responsibility. There is not an honest man in entire bunch.
