Exactly, long. That demented son-of-a-bitch was meant to be tied close to his Mama Sarah's apron strings in the familiar surroundings of the African Bush, not masquerading as POTUS in civilization, for Heaven's sake! In Africa, Barry was not far from his favorite ju-ju toke down the path behind Mama Sarah's mud hut. One can almost hear the happy exchange that took place immediately after the picture below was snapped. Mama Sarah: "Barry, go 'n fetch Mama Sarah some more ju-ju leaves for dis evenin's ju-ju toke." Barry: "Yessum, Mama Sarah!" Mama Sarah: "Oh, n' Barry?" Barry: "Yessum, Mama Sarah?" Mama Sarah: "Be quick, boy!" Barry: "Yessum! Right away, Mama Sarah!" Mama Sarah: "Yea, dat's my boy. Such a nice smile, too. Now git goin'!" Barry: "Yessum!"

S&P admitted their original $2 Trillion math error, but then then immediately changed their rationale for a downgrade to a political rationale, and not an economic argument based solely upon the projected deficit numbers. S&P said we need to raise TAXES, that that is one of the things Washington needs to do. And they said that the DEBATE in Washington over the debt ceiling extension made matters much WORSE, destroyed confidence. And that too was one of the big reasons (according to S&P, straight from their press release) for the downgrade they issued. They basically said they don't think Washington has the balls to do what it takes to eventually control the deficit.
