The Obama administration privately urged Standard & Poor’s in
recent weeks not to lower its outlook on the United States — a
suggestion the
ratings agency ignored Monday
, two people familiar with the matter
said.

Treasury Department officials had been discussing with
S&P; whether the ratings agency should change its outlook on the
United States to “negative” from “stable,” an indication that the
country could lose its crucial AAA rating in coming years over its
soaring debt levels.

    Barrack Hussein Obama was sworn to uphold the constitution and pledged an oath to the American people and yet he attempted to keep the truth regarding the nation's economic outlook from the American people and hence deny vital information regarding our economic security. This may be Obama's Watergate moment and an impeachable offense.

    deny vital information economic security obamas watergate impeachable offense george washington aganst british


    obamas watergate impeachable offense gods speed rid shores madman raising the flag wwII

    God's speed and may we rid our shores of this madman once and for all.

    Yes The Fed has been pumping $billions into the market....

    We know about a lot but a lot of what the Fed does will never be known. It is suspected that it's much more than the billions that we know about. The world banks, including the federal reserve periodically 'dump" gold to make the dollar appear higher in relation.

    They have desperately tried to manipulate gold and silver so the dollar will appear stable in relation to it.

    I can walk out of a Safe Way in California with enough groceries in my hand to be worth $500. The gas price hit $4.50 to $5 a while back. The unemployment rate here is ridiculous.......and progressives fail to see the connection with progressive policies.
