Two downgrades in one year! Good thing we have a democrat in office, otherwise, this might actually mean something.

I can't help the sneaking suspicion this was done just before the election to help the Republicans. I know, I'm just a cynic who believes corporate people and rich individuals try to manipulate conditions to their benefit.

If you want conspiracy theories, why isn't NBC, CBS or ABC covering the Green Party this time around?
Implying most major corporations don't engorge themselves off of government: GE, Monsanto, etc. Big business loves big government.

It's probably because they don't have enough legislators in office to make a Green president worthwhile, or even very likely. Either that or the same reason Ron Paul got shut out.

You mean kind of like quantitative easing (printing of fiat money) by the Fed? You know, to give the economy a very temporary bump so Oblabla can claim we are on the road to recovery?

Or the more likely reason is that she'd cost the democrats the presidency. The MSM doesn't want that. They learnt their lesson in 2000.
