The politicians won't do what would be good for the countries, as it would mean they cut the hands that feed them. Wall street is just a huge ponzi scheme, and some people make shitloads that they litterally steal from the pockets of taxpayers.
Someone who would run for office with an ideal to do what's good for the people of his country would end up either bought, blackmailed or shot dead way before he'd achieve any meaningful position.

He inherited of a near bankrupt country in the first place, and during a huge financial crisis at that. BTW the worst of the crisis isn't behind us.

S&P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating
Credit rating agency Standard and Poor's says it has downgraded the U.S. credit rating from a top AAA rating to AA+, the first debt downgrade in U.S. history.
The credit rating agency said that it is cutting America's top AAA rating by one notch to AA-plus. The credit agency said that it is making the move because the deficit reduction plan passed by Congress on Tuesday did not go far enough to stabilize the country's debt situation.
A source familiar with the discussions said that the Obama administration feels the S&P's analysis contained "deep and fundamental flaws."
S&P said that in addition to the downgrade, it is issuing a negative outlook, meaning that there was a chance it will lower the rating further within the next two years. It said such a downgrade to AA would occur if the agency sees less reductions in spending than Congress and the administration have agreed to make, higher interest rates or new fiscal pressures during this period.
S&P first put the government on notice in April that a downgrade was possible unless Congress and the administration came up with a credible long-term deficit reduction plan and avoided a default on the country's debt.

Re: Remember in November...Redux
why thank me? S and P, after having their own 2 Trillion dollar math error pointed out(that alone should make you wonder) blamed intransigence in Congress for the downgrade. That would mean the Tea Party.
