AA

For the first time in US history our credit rating has been reduced from the gold plated AAA to AA+. Standard and Poors cited the recent deficit curbing deal as insufficient to bring our debt under control & initimated they could drop it further if no action to correct course is taken. This puts us behind the UK, France and Germany. Soon after, Chinese State TV launched an absolutely blistering attack on our financial "mess", chastising the US government like a father scolding a teenage daughter with her own credit card. This was no cryptic diplomatic talk, it was a flat out verbal assault.

So let me get this straight - Standard & Poors and the Peoples Republic of China claim those NOT in the Tea Party are the extremists.

How's that hope and change working for you? Ya, lets reelect this guy & keep the Boehnors & McCains ... they've got 2 more A's to go through before we're in real trouble ... God help us.
