It seems to me that if that happened it would constitute something criminal, something akin to insider trading. If some of S&P's "clients" had that kind of information and others did not, some people would be really, really upset. Really, really, really, REALLY upset.
And Eric Holder would be on this like a fly on a turd.
Sorry. No sale on this story.
Isn’t Moody’s owned by Warren Buffet?
That $2 trillion math mistake is what Obama has made.
And added to our debt - but denies.
Everyone sees that 2T but him.
Moody's was founded in 1909 by John Moody. Top institutional owners of Moody's include Berkshire Hathaway and Davis Selected Advisers.
In all seriousness this may be the best thing that has happened to the US since the election of that America hater.
What if Barack Obama was right and S&P just got it wrong.
We are upteen trillion dollars in debt, with no relief in site. How could we have not been downgraded. I’m with Rick Santelli when he said that if it hadn’t of been for the tea party we’d be at BBB rating.
There are ten rating agencies. The most independent is Egan-Jones which down-rated the Zero government two weeks before the S&P did.
All this 'acrimony' silliness is after the fact, and because the Democrats want blame everyone but themselves for the mess they've caused since they were in charge of the House (which passes budgets) from 2006, then the whole shebang from 2008, on, until Nov. of 2010. They'll be out of the majorities in Congress and out of the White House as well, in Jan. of 2013!
