Ten Bucks says he blames somebody else for it.
When was the last time this guy took responsibility for anything? :) He'll take credit if something goes well, but nothing is ever his responsibility. I can't stand this guy.

NRO called it this morning - "The Tea Party Downgrade" - that is the new talking point that ABCNBCCBSCNN and WashpostNYT, etc will toss about.
Yup - it's our fault, Freepers.

Though I oppose virtually everything he has done, I really wish he would be straight with the American people, tell us what this downgrade means, and what plans he has, if any, to deal with the fallout. There will be fallout in the form of higher interest rates for all types of borrowing, as well as a higher federal deficit. I heard that this move could add $100 billion a year going forward to the interest expense for the existing debt. America is a higher credit risk now, so our interest expense on borrowing will be higher.
Now, if we have a blame game / pity party type of speech, then it will be more of what we’re used to hearing from this president.

Sorry but only an idiot would take that bet! You might get some takers over in DUmmyland though.

He must have recouped from his Hip-Hop barbeque, weekend golf, fundraisers, a few games of hoops, and his Martha’s Vineyard vacation planning.

I wonder if the Teleprompter in chief will use the MoveOn.org talking points blaming the Tea Party or George Bush. zer0 p!sses away and prints trillions and it is our fault for the US credit score:

He will make some fake statement that he cares our troops were killed and never mention he funded the taliban.
Iam wondering if he will go with his Axelrod spin and blame the tea party or if his chief of staff will just have him say it is a math error. If he says this and that we need to raise REVENUE (Taxes) there is no doubt he is purposefully destroying our country and articles of impeachment should proceed.
