For the first time in U.S. history, our credit rating was downgraded. Sad, sad day.
Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    It might be a good thing in the long run. The USA as a nation and a society need a serious wake up call.

    Dude the kids (in your screen pic) are adorable. Is that a Volcom shirt on the one? If so, good work.

    How specifically did Obama cause this?

    How specifically did Obama cause this?

    Lack of economic leadership and creating too much uncertainty in the markets.

    Booya!

    What did he do or not do to create uncertainty in the markets? How could he have been more of an economic leader? Specifically, please. Present some examples, if you may.

    What does this mean?


    I'm going to enjoy the fresh air tomorrow...





    I'm kind of thinking, If Americans got together and worked their asses off, all of this crap could be eliminated in a year.

    your question is an exercise in futility. prepare for an answer along the lines of "rick perry is the man" or something completely unrelated to the question that you posed.

    fact is, world history apparently did not begin before january 2009, so to certain segments of the american population barack obama is the cause of all of the bad things to have ever happened in this country....

    this is a sad day in american history. even sadder, a group with a 48% disapproval rating is influencing policies to the extent that it is...and they will claim no blame for the downgrade....

    Since you mentioned a year....


    Texas Rep. Ron Paul said if he is elected president, he will balance the federal budget in the first year of his term. “I will fight to reduce taxes and remove unconstitutional regulations so that businesses can hire, Americans can get back to work and our economy can truly recover,” he said.

    You're not suggesting that this problem started with the Obama administration, right? Or that one man caused this problem, right?

    Also, when Bush was president, I truly believed we were in the midst of the worste presidency of my life- going clear back to Eisenhowere. Despite my strong dislike for the Bush, I never referred to him as a "fuckstick" or anything that like that. Sorry, but to me that's just wrong.

    “We were warned by all of the credit agencies that a failure to deal with our debt would lead to a downgrade in our credit rating, but instead he submitted a budget that had a $1.5 trillion deficit and then requested a $2.4 trillion blank check. President Obama is destroying the foundations of the U.S. economy one beam at a time. I call on the President to seek the immediate resignation of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and to submit a plan with a list of cuts to balance the budget this year, turn our economy around and put Americans back to work.”
    Mitt Romney
    “America’s creditworthiness just became the latest casualty in President Obama’s failed record of leadership on the economy. Standard & Poor’s rating downgrade is a deeply troubling indicator of our country’s decline under President Obama. His failed policies have led to high unemployment, skyrocketing deficits, and now, the unprecedented loss of our nation’s prized AAA credit rating. Today, President Obama promised that ‘things will get better.’ But it has become increasingly clear that the only way things will get better is with new leadership in the White House.”
    Jon Huntsman
    “Out-of-control spending and a lack of leadership in Washington have resulted in President Obama presiding over the first downgrade of the United States credit rating in our history. For far too long we have let reckless government spending go unchecked and the cancerous debt afflicting our nation has spread. We need new leadership in Washington committed to fiscal responsibility, a balanced budget, and job-friendly policies to get America working again.”

    yep, you are right, it is all the fault of 5 people. the tea party had nothing to do with any of it. :roll:

    keep telling yourself it was all obama's fault.

    actually the tea party ruined our credit rating by their forcing the deficit issue onto what should have been a simple debt ceiling increase...the sane republicans were willing to vote for a simple increase and talk deficits later but cantor would not allow it.

    and did everyone hear the latest? the gop is attacking and blaming obama for cutting medicare and social security when IT WAS THE SAME THING DEMANDED BY THE GOP AND THE TEA PARTY!!

    what a joke.

    it would be funny if it were not so damn sad.
