Standard and Poor's downgrades US to AA+

Obama Campaign 2008:

"End tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans."

"Increase cap gains and dividend tax from 15% to 20% for the wealthiest Americans."

"Restore the 36% and 39% tax brackets for the wealthiest Americans."

"Exempt seniors earning less than $50,000 from income taxation."

It's pretty ridiculous that with both houses and a new presidency, he couldn't get it done and now he blames anyone other than himself for his failure.

Hell, it took until Nov 23, 2008 less than 3 weeks after his election when Obama backtracked on repealing the tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans.

I guess it's not really a matter of not being able to get it done as much as it is Obama not even trying.
