S&P downgrade based on a $2.1T error

Patently false. Where do you think the $4T dollar amount came from in the first place? From the anticipated amount of deficit reduction potential the deal between Obama, Biden, Boehner, and Cantor were working on until Boehner and Cantor backed out.

Obama was never going to cut $4T in spending. The only way he would ever consider anything like that is if we spent $4T on national defense, which we don't.
