That's like saying that if I bet on Manchester United losing a match, I think they will be relegated.

Going down to AA+ will not mean the collapse of the USA, or even an enormous financial crisis. It would just be a minor pain which should nevertheless be avoided, preferably by House Republicans realising that taxes need to go up. It's rare that I completely blame one party for a problem, but there is nobody to blame here other than the Republicans. Obama has really done as much as he can. He's not a Republican president, and thank god for that.
