Back in the late summer of 2011, Congress was dealing with the budget mess and debt ceiling. Standard & Poors, a highly-regarded international credit rating firm, warned that it was considering dropping America's credit rating for the first time in history if the government did not get its financial act in order. As the story goes, top executives at S&P received phone calls from "the Administration" telling the company to back off. On August 11, 2011, S&P did in fact drop the nation's credit rating. That action shocked the world.
In September of 2013, the Department of Treasury filed a $5 billion lawsuit against S&P alleging fraud on the part of the company. The company is now saying in its defense filings that then-Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner called them after the drop in credit-rating and told them they had made a huge mistake and intimated that there would be retribution.
As I remember it, there were a whole lot of people including me who wondered how Obama was going to get even when the credit rating was changed back in 2011. Now we know.
The IRS scandal, the NSA, the DOJ vs. AP scandal, the fraudulent award of the ObamaCare website contract to an Obama friend, the endless use of "Executive Powers" to do end runs around Congress, the unconstitutional appointments of labor bosses to the NLRB... Can there be any doubt now that our nation is in control of thugs? I suppose their next act will be to start taking political prisoners.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
