 FoxNews.com (excerpts):  The United States has lost its sterling credit rating.  Credit rating agency Standard & Poors on Friday lowered the nations AAA for the first time since granting it in 1917.  The move came less than a week after a gridlocked Congress finally agreed to spending cuts that would reduce the debt by more than $2 trillion - a tumultuous process that contributed to convulsions in financial markets.  The promised cuts were not enough to satisfy S&P.  Speaker John Boehner issued a statement saying that the downgrade is "the latest consequence of overspending by Washington."  The Dow Jones industrial average fell 699 points this week; the biggest weekly drop since October 2008.  "The market's already been shaken out," Harvey Nieman said.  "I knew it was coming."   

Commentary:  "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" Proverbs 14:34.  Okay, there is one objective down, and I wonder how many more to go and what is next on Obama's agenda for bringing the nation to ruin.  If you read Dinesh D'Souza's book, "The Hidden Rage of Barack Obama," you may better understand why this man intends to destroy America; that is his objective.  With the jobless rate at an all time high, the national debt at an all time high, the White House administration's spending/budget at an all time high, the loss of America's excellent credit rating for the first time (since a credit rating was given to America); do you need more?  Wonderful; read the book!  In fact, if you want to know more about his evil intentions for America, read the books he authored himself, "Dreams of My Father" and "Audacity of Hope."  Here are some quotations for you:  From Audacity of Hope:  "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."  From Dreams of My Father:  "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race (she was white)."  From Dreams of My Father:  "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was integrating myself to whites."  This is our president, as bigoted, Muslim, and AntiAmerican as you can get!  He sat for 20 years under the same pastor, Jeremiah Wright, who made such quotes as, "Whites are liars," "G- - damn America - for killing innocent people," "G- - damn America for treating our citizens as less than human," "G- - damn America, as long as she acts like she is G- -....." (source - en.wikipedia.org).  Can you imagine a minister shouting these slogans from a pulpit, in a church no less??  When the media connected Obama to his raging, bigoted pastor, Jeremiah Wright, he (Obama) began withdrawing himself from Wright.  When he was questioned by the media, he said he was "outraged" and "saddened" by his behavior and in May, he resigned his membership from the church.  These messages are nothing new; Jeremiah Wright has not changed his messages in the 20 years that Barack Obama attended the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Jeremiah Wright pastored (source - en.wikipedia.org).  How odd that he has withdrawn from Wright since his presidency and resigned from membership now!  Why didn't he withdraw from the man 20 years ago?  Too late!  Your sentiments are known, Barack Hussein Obama!  You hate whites; you are a Muslim, and like many Muslims; you hate America!  This man's hate is all through his books and is even revealed through his church attendance and the bigoted pastor he sat under for 20 years!  Some people will still make excuses for him.  If you want to see America take the final dive, go ahead and vote for him during the next election.  I pray for the man, but unless he gets saved, he is "hell bent" and bringing the nation with him.
