I will ping the mods when CNBC or someone puts a source link up.
I wonder if the Teleprompter in chief will use the MoveOn.org talking points blaming the Tea Party or George Bush.
Should be interesting.

I guess someone finally wrote a speech for TOTUS. This one may set a record for platitudes per minute and blaming of others.

Let me guess: There is nothing to fear but Fear itself? And even that is Bush’s fault.

Because news of more Obama downgrades has hit..
Fannie and Freddie and ratings cut for several of the main arteries of the US
financial system—the Depository Trust Co. National Securities
Clearing Corp., Fixed Income Clearing Corp. and the Options
Clearing Corp.—were cut one notch to AA-plus.

"Corporate Jets", "Tea Party Downgrade", "Balance", "Fair Share">
That should cover it.

The last I heard is that it’s just a statement, not a TOTUS moment.

I thought that he wasn't planning on saying anything. Well, it's time to call the Tea Partiers terrorist, hostage taking meanies who prevented him from spending even more.

Since his surrogates hit the Sunday talk show trail and blamed everything, from the Tea Party to Bush to S&P itself, wonder what else he could have to say? Same ole, same ole I'm afraid!
