On 360 last night, Anderson Cooper interviewed John Chambers, the S&P executive responsible for the downgrade of US Treasury Bonds:

Among other things, Mr. Chambers said:

1. Chambers is another liar working for the Republican agenda and to destroy the

They love this jobless recovery and could care less about entitlements.

Their critique of the republicans is just a cover so they can attack Obama.

They opened the door to a wave of attacks and blame of the Obama administration.



They are crooks, their friends in other countries following their signal are making
BIG $ trading this fake crisis.
