Thoughts on the Downgrade

The S&P cites REPUBLICAN opposition as a reason? Heard it on FOX this morning… Mmmm, the plot thickens…

According to one commentator on FOX this will give Obama a tool to “Blame” the Republicans in the fall. Well, I’m good with that.

The blame game recap:

1. GWB drove the car in the ditch (Obama parted the car out and sold the parts to China)

2. Democrats took control of congress in 2006, since then unemployment has been steadily bad. Going on 3 years of 9% or better.

3. Republicans took control of one 1/3 of Government in 2010. They finally stood up to the idiocy (Although they didn’t do real well at it) and said stop the spending.. Downgraded by S&P 7 months later.

4. It was all GWB’s fault that we got in this mess. AND the reason we are still in this mess is because of natural disasters oh AND the Republicans. (Do you believe if the economy turned around they would credit the Republicans in the house equally?)

5. Obama says “We have saved or created millions of jobs” Now “Hey Government doesn’t create jobs, it fosters policies that help businesses grow”…. Mmmm, sounds like what we’ve been saying for 3 years.

Add to these throughout the weekend, because the Democrats will be blaming everything under the sun for this downgrade. Well, except themselves, you know that can’t be their fault can it?

One last thought. IS it possible that Boehner is a masterful chess player? The first bill the HOUSE sent to the senate would have resulted in NO DOWNGRADE. The second bill was weaker, the third one was the signed bill and the weakest of all.. The POTUS signed it.

SO to recap, Boehner had a bi-partisan bill sent to the senate that was CC&B that never got a vote. Who is to blame for that? Just sayin.
