Obama says U.S. is still a AAA country Photo 2:12pm EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Monday blamed a downgrade in the United States' credit rating on political gridlock in Washington and said he would offer some recommendations on how to reduce federal deficits.
Obama said in a White House appearance that he hopes the Standard and Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt to AA-plus from AAA will give lawmakers a new sense of urgency to tackle deficit spending and said he did not believe the reductions could be carried out with spending cuts alone.

Well if double 00 says so - it is. After all, would he lie to us? I don’t think so/s
EPIC FAIL
Shut up you communist bastard.
(Not the OP; Obama).
impeach him now ... he is doing nothing to stop the falling markets ... he is actually cheering the crash on.
impeach this vindictive, passive-aggressive, narcissist
NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What he means:
All Alinsky All the time!.........
which is another way of saying we are no longer a Major League Country
Affirmative Action Credit Rating! LOL!
this is what parents tell their kids when they come in 7th place.. You’re always 1st in my heart honey..
Zer0 is repeating the mantra that it was the Tea Party Freshmen that put the world in economic peril. The truth is this was our nation’s debt brought on by Zer0’s spending disaster.
With an F class political leadership.
I don't want to pay for it twice over, as one who has worked my whole friggin' life to have some decent savings, and who is at the threshold of retirement to boot.
/rant off
1. Get rid of Obamacare, Headstart, Govt. Union and those fat pensions.
Drill, frack, mine coal, mine rare minerals, a little foresting...it's about JOBS....it will produce income for the Federal Government.
They still don't get it.
He is a community organizer which makes him qualified to....uh....uh.... read a teleprompter.
The experts beg to differ...
(It reminds of the doting parent, who instead of telling the kid who brings home a report card with all C's that they need to work harder and spend less time watching TV, says "Don't feel bad honey, you're still an A student to me.")
He’s half-right, which is to say he’s wrong. It’s the productive part of America that’s still triple A. The over 50% of the country that pays no taxes whatsoever is not, and are not even double A, and coincidentally happen to be the ones who more often than not voted him in and for whom he does whatever it is he does. Nor are the vast majority of illegal aliens. The more this country looks like the countries they’re from, the more our credit rating is going to look like the credit ratings of their countries.
At this point all it may take is for one reporter to ask the Messiah why he is using a social security card issued to him in a state in never lived in.
It’s a house of cards...he’s a complete fake...his resignation may be within sight.
