| The Petulant Teleprompter: Obama Walks Out Of Debt Negotiations |
| 2011-07-13 |
| So far the Moody's threat is having precisely zero impact on the debt ceiling farce, with just 8 days left until July 22. But the latest development is certain to jar both S&P and Fitch, not to mention Dagong, out of hibernation. Reuters reports that President Barack Obama abruptly ended a tense budget meeting on Wednesday with Republican leaders by walking out of the room, a Republican aide familiar with the talks said. The aide said the session, the fourth in a row, was the most tense of the week as House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, dismissed spending cuts offered by the White House as "gimmicks and accounting tricks." Either Congress has become the best orchestrated reality TV show in history or, and this is a big or, the market should really consider panicking soon. |

| #4 he really, truly is a child. He's never been told "no", has never been told he isn't the best and brightest despite all evidence to the contrary, and has never had someone stand up to his weakass bullying. I see an implosion coming. Perhaps we can call him "Emperor Commodus" |

| #3 WORLD NEWS > {Daily Telegraph.UK] AMERICA'S POLITICAL SYSTEM ISN'T QUIRKY, ITS DANGEROUS! ARTIC > Ongoing US Debt = Default Crisis is more about US Politics that Amer's ability to meet + pay off its debts, espec as overall US debt levels remain manageable in the near-term, US WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SUFFER CHAOS-CAUSING POLITICAL GRIDLOCK BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE + THE US CONGRESS UNLESS BOTH ARE OF THE SAME PERSUASION OR PARTY [during same Term(s) of Office]. IIUC, the Artic is indir about changing the US Political System towards a more UNITARIAN/ UNIFIED = SOCIALIST? STYLE SYSTEM??? |
