Congress as a whole, but especially the divide between Republicans and Democrats that is the root cause. If either party had a pair of balls, they would have done what was necessary to make "$4 trillion worth of debt reduction" but the best that was had by either party only amounted to 2.4 Trillion and that was over 10 years.
Oh, and I am arguing with you. You make the exact same mistake that Radio Commentators and News Outlets make. You edit. You make clear, through the links you provide, and even more so in your responses to people, exactly where you stand and how you think.

And only did that because rt wanted to parse whether saying the London rioters were Obama voters accusing him of causing the riots or "just" accusing him of trying to cause future ones here. POLITICO excerpted the following part of S&P senior director Deepjoy Mukherjis statement to them about the downgrade:
people in the political arena were even talking about a potential default.... That a country even has such voices, albeit a minority, is something notable.... This kind of rhetoric is not common amongst AAA sovereigns.
If you think they misrepresented the statement he made directly to Politico, demand a retraction, but lotsa luck with that.
That's not to say I don't think Congress and the White House should've acted earlier, but the only way they get to $4 trillion without disbanding the Army is with tax cuts to accompany spending cuts, something Obama suggested repeatedly only to watch Republicans storm out every time.

Again, the difference between "s/he WILL cause this" and "s/he DID cause" is merely tense.
