[FrenchieCat]

S&P downgrade, which was a direct results of his "wants".
It's all his and his peeps making, period.

Are we supposed to now ask who's to blame, and if so, why? Cause the funky ass media
wants to know? Hell, if they didn't see that interview, perhaps we need to send it to them! :shrug:
