I blame it on Obama absolutely ballooning the size of government and government spending out of sight since 2009. Fitch, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s will give back the AAA rating once Obama is booted out of office in November 2012 and we finally prune back government to its proper size and function and get real income tax reform.

Cute. They have the votes opposed to the democrats split four ways and the vote against the Republicans in one basket.
