Can't blame the market for tanking. Geitner was pointing the finger at S+P for the downgrade this weekend. Where is the leadership in the US now? Where is the President?
Presuming the downgrade amounts to a "big deal", Odumbo is HUGELY responsible for it. During his first term, after he spends his newly authorized increase in the debt limit by $2.4T, our national debt will have swollen under his watch from about $9T to about $17T... IN ONLY ONE TERM. Reckless. Irresponsible. Greedy. (Perhaps even a hatred of the US and an attempt to destroy it through debt proliferation.) Everybody remember how he campaigned on "reducing the [irresponsible Bush] deficits"? Odumbo gets my vote for "2nd WORST president in history". (And I thought Bush was terrible.)
