Finger pointing follows debt downgrade

Minnesota Republican Michele Bachmann called for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's resignation while House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Democrats "who run Washington remain unwilling to make the tough choices required to put America on solid ground."

"The administration and Democrats in Congress had sought an increase in the debt limit without any spending cuts or reforms. Republicans made clear the American people would not tolerate that and fought for the largest spending cuts possible. With the Budget Control Act, we made a positive first step toward reducing the debt, but much more must be done.

Where lies are offered up as truth.

2. This is why the WH are fools to continue the bipartisan crap

Their statement held the GOP blameless. 'Congress must work together, both sides, blah, blah, lie lie'.

4. If we don't work with the GOP, please explain how we can get any legislation passed in the Senate...

We do NOT have 60 democrats in the Senate.
To get any bill passed these days due to GOP obstruction we have to have 60 'yes' votes to invoke cloture.
If the democrats refuse to work with the republicans then NOTHING at all will get done.

3. The S&P, in their statement, put the blame on the REPUBLICANS. n/t

5. Boehner got 98% of what he wanted....

So, I guess the Democrats need to change the 2% left?

6. Romney

He'll get back to you on that question in four or five weeks.
