Obama deserves the blame because he wimped out and gave in to them yet again. He should have taken advantage of the 14th Amendment and raised the debt ceiling himself as soon as the republicans started stirring up this shit.
They both deserve the blame because the credit rating downgrade is now nothing to do with the debt ceiling. Instead is has everything to do with stupid childishness on both sides to settle what should have been a very simple issue. Both the Dems and the Gop's have embarrassed the US in the eyes of the world. These 2 bozoz owe the world over 14 Trillion dollars and they can't even work together to solve what should be a simple problem. Total fucking bullshit.
Obama is all brains, but no brawn. He should have put a choke hold on Boehner the minute he asked to have the Bush tax cuts extended.

You make the assumption that borrowing and wasting more money with no idea how to repay it was the right call. You are wrong.
The democrats know that simply raising taxes on the wealthy doesn't come close to paying down the debt. The only possibility is the hard one for democrats and that is trim entitlement spending. The easy one is cut down on military spending and that will happen.
