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.

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???

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"

Former South Florida Congressman Kendrick Meek has been nominated by President Obama as a public delegate to the UN General Assembly. Meek's role will be to support our UN ambassador, Susan Rice, in her mission to foster world peace.
But that mission is going so well, why would she need such *ahem* expert help?
Meek was crushed defeated in last year's Senate race by Marco Rubio.
Meek said, "There's a lot going on the world. Turn on the news. You can go forever with what's going on in Afghanistan, with what's going on in Haiti."
"Dealing with issues such as hunger, world peace, what's left of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I'm pretty sure that will be a big distraction discussion." he added.

Just the type of young man the United Nations is looking for.
Wiki: Meek was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on November 5, 2002, succeeding his mother, Congresswoman Carrie Meek, who retired from the seat. In Meek's four elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, no Republican or third-party candidate has been listed on the general election ballot running against him. He has had write-in opponents in three of the four elections and also had a Democratic primary opponent in 2006.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
