Did republicans influence the S&P to raise the alarm so that Obama can’t raise the spending cap?
The republicans created this mess with to dumb wars, tax benefits to the rich, realestate gifts, and an oil subsidy policy. Now they want him to do their dirty work and clean up government. Now they bribe wall street to declare the US in trouble. Obama has to stand up to this and make sure his promises are carried out. Education, green energy, CO2 limits, ending the wars, and ending the money grab was what we fired him to do. Lets get our priorities in order.
I wonder why they brought it up now and not with Reagan and the two Bushes.
Never the less, we have to get the budget balanced. That is doable as long as the Republicans don’t mess things up.

"Dumb wars" Obama has continued them and added libya
"Tax benefits to the rich" Obama continued them
You literally failed on every topic point lol. You seem to be a "below average college student"

What you are experiencing is called reality. Hold on, I know it’s foreign. S&P deals in reality. If the Republicans seem aligned to them, it’s because they (to a large extent) respect reality. You do not. This is why you violently oppose everything we stand for. You would never let something as trivial as reality impede your agenda.

did you ever stop to think that massive debt and continuous borrowing raised the alarm? the simplest answer is usually the right one.

No, we’ve had this coming for some time.

To answer you question;
Nope, S&P can see that Obama is not serious about cutting the debt, and in fact is not a negotiator in good faith when he lies about promised cuts in the budget……

the S&P pretty clearly stated that the reason they lowered the rating was due to the fact that they didn’t think BOTH SIDES COULD COME TOGHETER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, because they both spend too much time complaining…
plenty of blame to go around here…

To be honest, I’m actually surprised that the US still has a AAA rating with all its debt. This isn’t all Obama’s fault, though. The debt’s been growing for decades. I wouldn’t loan the US money. The only money they get from me are the taxes that they make me pay under threat of imprisonment.

The Debt got to 14 trillion because ALL of Bush’s tax cuts remained in place, and the enormous bill bailing out the banks, and ensuring that the country didn’t sink into Despression following 8 years of Bush-O-Nomics.

The truth is little matter to them of course – or have you been not paying attention?

Average college student?
It’s "two" not "to"
Real estate vs. realestate?
"was what we fired him to do" I think you meant "hired him to do?"
And because the democrats seem determined to continue their borrow and spend policies, you feel it’s the republicans who are at fault for trying to initiate real cuts?
This country is going to hell in a handbag and it appears that higher education isn’t helping much.

Based on their performance over the past 5 years the S&P has zero credibility. It is clear they base their ratings on who is paying them. I am guessing the Koch Brothers are somehow involved.

Hmmm Wall Stretch Journal is owned by S & P. what do you think? They are concerned that congress will investigate market manipulation in oil prices. regulation will keep wall street from getting free access to our treasury again.

They must have had a hand in it, even though it may not have been all their fault.
