A "scared" lib said to me---we were told it wouldnt happen if we supported Obama on this..the market was a shock then this [sucked in again].. When will they learn?

[ken21]

lol!

arab spring caused our economic problems.

[normy]

Yeah, but just think of how many points the Dow would have dropped and much further our credit rating would have dropped if we wouldn't have done this and passed Cut,Cap and Balance instead /sarc

[Road Warrior ‘04]

It's also worth noting that two of the other big three rating agencies did not downgrade the U.S.'s credit rating...YET!

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Obama has fundamentally transformed our economy as he warned
he would do.

Let your elected officials know exactly how you feel about their job ratings, loud and clear.

CUT, CAP AND BALANCE THE DAMN BUDGET.

FAST TRACK THE BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT NOW!!!

Reverse ObamaCare, NOW!

[Logical me]

Hey Bonehead, Tea Party tried to tell you and you just wouldn’t listen.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Foolish article, foolish comments. The author, and the first half-dozen commenters, buy the story that Obama was prepared to actually make a meaningful "grand bargain" and that the GOP scotched it.

What a bunch of horsehockey. Obama had two goals--borrowing authority large enough to get him through the campaign, and no meaningful cuts in the size of government. He got those.

Yes, he would have liked bigger and more obvious tax raises to build the platform for deficit spending at an even higher level, but that was a secondary consideration. There was no intention of a "grand bargain."

CNN is trying to convince everyone that:

1) It’s not that bad
2) It’s the republicans’ fault
3) S&P doesn’t know what they’re talking about

They say S&P rated companies AAA that went under the next day. Yet they want to condemn S&P for cutting the U.S. rating.

"Democrats have only been able to agree to relatively modest savings on discretionary spending while delegating
to the Select Committee decisions on more comprehensive measures."

We also believe that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the Administration agreed to this week falls short of the amount that we believe
is necessary to stabilize the general government debt burden by the middle of the decade.

The libs are now trying to blame the Tea Party for something Obama signed.

[NoLibZone]

"..., as we see it, the resulting agreement fell well short of the comprehensive fiscal consolidation program that some proponents had envisaged until quite recently."

Read the S&P report and you think it was written by a Tea Party member. That’s why the the establishment hates us. They know we know we right (pun intended).

[NoLibZone]

"Our lowering of the rating was prompted by our view on the rising public debt burden and our perception of greater policymaking uncertainty,..."

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

"Why the Tea Party-friendly Republicans of the U.S. House own this epic humiliation...."

HUH?

WTF?

Let me see if I can wrap my arms around this Orwellian, Moonbat, Newspeak: The T-Party Republicans were the one who fought for bigger cuts and the Neo-Commie Dear Leader and his sycophant members of the Party of Surrender and Defeat (Demo-Rats) in the Politburo (Congress)--aided and abetted by the biased, corrupt, State-Run Media, of which Salon is at the top of the list when it comes to "Rags" and "Bird Cage Liners,"--in fighting and preventing this, yet the T-Party Republicans "OWN IT?"

Look to this trope being all over tomorrow and it will be the "Talking Points" being repeated by all of the Leftist Media and guess what, somehow it will "Stick" and the majority WILL blame the Republicans.

Beam me up Scotty!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

President Cloward-Piven promised he'd overwhelm the system.

Mission accomplished!

[Enough is ENOUGH]

Let your elected officials know exactly how you feel about their job performance, loud and clear.

[darkwing104]

We need to remember that S&P was one of the players behind the Mortage meltdown and has never accepted responcibilty for their role in over rating mortgage-backed securities.

[riri]

Now I understand why thet were spinning this as a Tea Party victory. They knew this was coming and planned to blame the TP.

[I see my hands]

Well, Palin? Well Trump? Start leading (a sound bite or interview isn't leading) or evermore shut up.

[Jeff Head]

OBAMA IS FUNAMENTALLY DESTROYING AMERICA
