Tea Party is cause of U.S. credit rating drop

I found it amazing that Michele Bachmann had the nerve to challenge President Barack Obama to address the nation with a recovery plan before the markets opened on Monday. She and her Tea Party extremists caused the downgrade in the U.S. credit rating by their refusal to approve the middle ground in the debt ceiling debacle.
There must be compromise in governing, and the Tea Party just won't have that. They are out to destroy the president and they do not care if they tear down this great country at the same time.
