Agreed, as the Tea Party can't be faulted for the current economic climate in the States.David Axelrod has conveniently forgotten that it was the TP who suggested cutting spending in the first place.He is part of the Dem spin machine by calling this the Tea Party downgrade, but it was they who got Congress and DC focussed on the debt problem during the ceiling deadlock.Another excuse out of the liberal progressive playbook - blame S&P, blame the TP, blame the GOP, just don't blame us.
