Tea party downgrade

For the first time in history, the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded.
This "tea party downgrade" is a shameful blow to our nation's honor and risks throwing us right back into recession. Worst of all? It was completely avoidable.
But when given the choice between extremist posturing and responsible leadership, tea party Republicans chose wrong. And now, amazingly, they're blaming it all on Barack Obama.1
John Boehner and the rest of the Republicans hurt our economy and the whole country needs to know it.
We have to set the record straight.
