Even with President Barack Obama’s signature on the debt ceiling bill, credit rating agencies could still downgrade the country’s credit rating. Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert thinks he has a solution to save America’s good name.

“America is currently rated AAA, which means we are a very good investment, plus I believe we get roadside assistance,” Colbert joked.

“So these un-elected elites get to wave their Wall Street wands and tank our economy?” he asked. “They are materially harming America. This is nothing more than economic terrorism and I say we deal with these clowns the way we deal with all terrorists: We march the Marines into their offices, fit them for some orange jumpsuits, and whisk them off to Gitmo for some enhanced accounting, maybe a little number-boarding.”

And what did the Comedy Central host think of the final bipartisan compromise signed by the president?

“The only way this bill was two-sided was that the Dems had to take it in both ends,” Colbert concluded.

3. Anyone notice the absense of the Obama super fans in the last few days?

Like to ask them if they approve of the so-called "compromise".

4. There's a lot of criminals we should send to Gitmo

Anyone who has publicly articulated a goal of dismantling the United States government. Traitors. They are at war with the American state, and deserve to be treated like it.

Maybe the deaths of a few hundred bankers would get people to actually close the damn place down.
