So the President gets a free ride here? Seriously?

We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process

There are a lot of things in life I don't know much about....but I do know a fair amount about what it takes to be a leader and this man is no leader. We are now living with the results of his failure as a leader.
When you are a leader...the buck stops at your desk. You don't pass the buck.

Sorry, this is BS of the highest order. There is no way that Obama could have gotten those clowns in Congress to do anything other than what they did. They are a bunch of stubborn butt-heads who cared far more about "getting their way" than they did about the consequences of their silly tantrums. They have also heaped such disrespect on the President of the United States that they effectively made him powerless in this situation. And sorry, your precious Tea Partiers are who I am talking about. They actually were proud of themselves for being so stubborn, and this is the result. I hope they are happy.
