S&P downgrades Obama presidency to junk status
The Washington Times ^ | August 8, 2011 | Eric Golub

Posted on 08/08/2011 7:44:52 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In a move that shocked President Obama and everybody else dedicated to obliviousness, Standard and Poors downgraded the Obama presidency to junk status.

In an effort to soften the blow, the spelling was changed to junque, pointing out that Mr. Obama could at least refer to himself as "the cream of the cr@p."

His dazed leftist supporters were left to argue about whether to say that the downgrade did not matter, or that it did but it was everybody else's fault.

Mr. Obama argued that Standard and Poors was wrong with the same passion that a young boy in 1980 argued that his teacher was wrong in handing out a bad grade. When my...ahem, I mean this anonymous young boy's...father was brought this argument, the response was "You're not God. You don't get to decide this. That is why the teacher is the teacher and you are the student."

While it did take several hours for the message to get through the boy's thick skull, this was amateur stubborness compared to the man who after half of a century of life still argues his own righteousness.

The first broadside came against Standard and Poors for failing to see the 2008 crash. This is nonsensical. They refused to downgrade securities which led to a crash. Now they are taking steps not to make the same mistake. For this they are criticized for issuing a downgrade. What should they do, wait for America to crash so they can get blamed again for inaction? Who does Barack Obama think is running Standard and Poors, Barney Frank?

Obama loses credibility each time he opens his mouth and each point the DJIA loses. Money talks, and the business world is beginning to realize what an incredible moron he is. The business world is beginning to stand up to Obama.

Obama Blames Politics (TP) for S&P Cut

With the additional $238 billion the Treasury immediately borrowed when the debt ceiling was raised on August 2, total current debt now exceeds the US GDP for 2010! (GDP in 2010 was $14.5265 trillion.)

I say:

Resign obama - We the people3
Obama: We're Not Even Halfway There Yet

1917 - 2011 that's 94 years of a AAA credit rating.
0bama in less than three years has accomplished what WWl, WWll, The Great Depression, The Cold War and Jimmy Carter could not.

So funny and so true. Zero got his nickname for a reason. Somebody should have told him long ago “If you can’t run with the big dogs, better stay on the porch”.

It is time for detox. President Obama once did cocaine and marijuana. He quit.

Barack Obama once smoked cigarettes. He (allegedly) quit.

Now his addictive personality needs to get rid of the spending habit.

This piece is brilliant!

My favorite part:

“For the left to advance an argument that the Tea Party is to blame for a bad deal [to raise the debt ceiling] that the Tea Party opposed is lunacy, even by liberal standards.

“The week before the deal was signed, Tea Party attendees were called “hostage takers” and “terrorists.” Americans were told that a deal had to be reached to avert a shutdown and protect our credit rating. A deal was signed that left the Tea Party out in the cold. Our credit rating was downgraded anyway.

“Only in Obamaworld could a bad deal rejected by creditors be blamed on the very people who opposed the deal and voted against it because they knew it would be rejected by creditors. No wonder Barack Obama has been downgraded to junque status.”

Twice I have seen the author, Eric Golub, speak. He is a humorous political commentator/analyst.
He has spoken to MANY Republican Women’s Clubs from CA to FL and all in-between. Many men/husbands will go to these meetings to hear Eric.

He has written at least 2 books. The one I see from where I’m sitting is “Tygrrrr Express.”
Eric’s stuff is hilarious. Do yourself a favor and look him up.
I e-mail with him now and again. Don’t know how he gets the time - he’s always speaking and travelling.
