#1 The only man with integrity in the business had to step down because some a-hole president decided to investigate the agency. S&P should have downgraded the FED two years ago.

#2 Yeahhhhhh. Just for grins, I googled McGraw Hill. Interesting. You talk about your conglomerates...Of course, they claim that "S&P's rating decision-making process is separate, fire-walled, and independent from the rest of our business". I believe that...just like I believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy...especially since it seems that McGraw Hill is also heavily involved in construction. Hmmmmmmmm. And, as I perused their website, I noticed a press release on Sharma's replacement, Douglas Peterson. Yep. Now if you want some real fun, google "S&P mortgage securities rating" and check out all the hits about the Justice Department investigating S&P's role in the mortgage meltdown. Well, I have to take all that with a grain of salt because, after all, the government had a bit of a role in the mortgage meltdown as well. Can you say "scapegoat"? I knew you could. Hey, I have an idea. Maybe the Justice Department should investigate Bawney Fwank! Nah. Never happen.

#3 So while the US Dept. of Justice harasses S&P, the largest theft in world history continues, scarcely abated by the Great Recession and ignored by Eric "Place" Holder, zombie Attorney General. Stop the looting, start prosecuting? Nah...

#4 Stop the looting, start prosecuting?

What's the point of taking all the trouble to get elected if you can't do a little looting?

#5 Why bother to get elected when you can just contract things out to fools like Obama, Geithner & Holder?
