Liberal firebrand Michael Moore called on President Obama to respond to the U.S. credit downgrade by arresting the leaders of the credit-ratings agencies.
On his Twitter feed Monday, the Oscar-winning film director also blamed the 2008 economic collapse on Standard & Poor’s — apparently because it and other credit-ratings agencies did not downgrade mortgage-based bonds, which encouraged the housing bubble and let it spread throughout the economy.
“Pres Obama, show some guts & arrest the CEO of Standard & Poors. These criminals brought down the economy in 2008& now they will do it again,” Mr. Moore wrote.
Standard & Poor’s, one of three key debt agencies, stripped the U.S. federal government of its AAA status Friday night and reduced it to AA+ for the first time in the nation’s history.
Mr. Moore went on to note that the “owners of S&P are old Bush family friends,” continuing a theme he has developed through several films about capitalism as essentially a crony system for the rich and Wall Street, especially the Bush family.
He went on to link approvingly to an article last week in the Guardian, a left-wing British newspaper, about a police raid in Milan against the offices of S&P and fellow ratings agency Moody’s. Italian police were searching for evidence on whether the rating agencies, in the words of a local prosecutor, “respect regulations as they carry out their work”.
“Here’s how they roll in Italy when it comes to these bastards,” Mr. Moore cheered.
Mr. Moore did not note that Italy’s government is led by a conservative prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, a business tycoon who also has long been accused by his country’s liberals and leftists of overseeing and benefiting from a system of crony capitalism

We should definitely listen to the guy who thinks corporatism=capitilism.
Fucking retard.
-
I have nothing to add to the article in this thread but I just think its hilarious that a ratings agency that got its NRSRO license from this government decided to downgrade us.
Would this happen to china?
S&P had a lot of balls to do this.
-
Extreme balls... If this were 1/2 the other countries on the planet, the head of the S&P probably would be arrested and in jail.

loco to Michael Moore: Show some guts and arrest the head of the credit bureaus(Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) for not giving Mike Tyson and Lawrence Taylor an 850 Credit Score. ::)
-
They had to downgrade us, we are a financial basket case.
-
It's unreal they continue to give this ass-clown the time of day.

moore = anti gun prick.
anything that comes out of his mouth needs to be painted in that light.
obama's not liberal enough for him.
So if anyone wants to give Moore credit for being so awesome, check out the rest of his positions. He supports univ healthcare in a major way.

Fuck Michael Moore.
