But there’s only so much you can spin, and there’s no getting away from the facts. Now, some of those facts may just have caught up to Joe Biden. Fitch Ratings has downgraded the country’s credit rating one level from “AAA” to “AA+” because of the growing debt and battles over the debt limit. NBC Nightly News was the o...
