It is hard to ignore the non-existant. Tilting and windmills is a common trait of the reactionary left.

And they ignore the warnings came back in April and Obama did nothing.

Geithner said in April we will not loose our rating.

It has to be his race because there is nothing about his performance that should unduly upset a right thinking Republican (note the small 'r'). Obama has given much more to the Republicans than they deserve. The Republicans have pulled shameful acts of obstinacy and partisanship and Obama has caved more than once to the disgust of his base. What the @##$%@ do you want? About the only thing he hasn't done is change his party affiliation. No one can please the Tea Party nutjobs. If that is who I am addressing then forget I said anything. America cannot work as a government less anarchy. It is beyond childish to suppose that after 200 plus years of Government, we can scrap it all and return to agrarian/hunter-gatherer, barter type existence. I've heard about the kooks in the woods using silver as legal tender... ...this is what comes of playing Dungeons and Dragons for too many years. I'll believe it isn't about race when there is a polygraph strapped to the wrist of the person I responded to. Yours too for that matter. Only a racist wouldn't admit that the flat out dysfunctional government that threatens the future of this country isn't racial. Only a racist persists in a blanket assessment of Obama as incompetent. Only a racist would refuse to acknowledge the impossibility of being 'absolute' about anything in so complex a theatre of the absurd as Domestic and International politics.

CUT SPENDING!!!

Nothing racial about it. Obama blatantly ignored several downgrade warnings. We were told point blank that $4 trillion in spending needed to be cut. Obama and the Dems wouldn't cut that much, hence the downgrade.

For the life of me I dont get liberals. The federal government has grown 44% in the last 4 years, and they are suddently SHOCKED that people want the size of government cut.. They are absolutely stunned, in disbelief.. What I cant believe is why they just dont get it..

Without a doubt this was the most publically forecasted downgrade in the history of S&P downgrades. We were warned back in early April exactly what criteria had to be met. The big government Progressives refuse to cut where is is needed. The destruction is intentional and by design by the far left. There is simply no other explaination.

We keep hearing from the far left that "Obama inherited" the economy. Well Obama inherited a AAA credit rating and 5.7% unemployment and look at how he has screwed that up!
