Let me just save everyone their breath and post what you're obviously going to post:
All the Democrats on the forum: It's Bush's fault!
All the Republicans on the forum: It's Obama's fault!
All the liberals on the forum: It's the Tea Party's fault!
All the conservatives on the forum: It's Satan's fault!
All the tea-party members on the forum: It's Obama's fault!
WilliamJoyce: U.S. Credit rating dropped--but duh, of course it was. What Black people do you know have good credit?
Here is what I truly don't understand about righties: Don't they know anything about economic history from the Great Depression?
Yes, spending didn't fix the great depression, why would it fix the great recession. Maybe you should look to the Depression of 1919 with Harding and his tax cuts and big spending cuts to understand how to cure a depression/Recession... Of course that only works, why you would ever want to fix the problem when you can win all sorts of meaningless points prolonging the problem.
Who has been in charge?

Since November of 2010, the GOP Congress. They got exactly the tax cut package in December by threatening to let all the taxes expire if they didn't, and that was a budget buster;
they got - according to Boehner - 98% of what they wanted in the debt ceiling bill - by threatening to financially destroy the country if they didn't.
Back to reality, whats does this mean in practical terms?
They lowered it because congress didnt go far enough to shore up its finances. This is 100% on the fault of the Tea Party and Republicans. They needed to raise taxes on the wealthy and didnt. Now we have this!!!!!!!!!!!

Spending didn't fix the Great Depression if you reject the common wisdom that WWII brought us out of it.

You lost me... WWII brought us out of the great Depression not because of the spending but because near the rest of the world was destroyed outside of the Americas, putting massive demands on our goods... Also the repeal of a lot of FDR's policies AND tax cuts... Shocking.
