12:53 pm (Hawaii) Mr. Obama isn't happy, not at all, with the posturing and grandstanding by both parties. Boehner walks, Obama calls the stubbornness "inexcusable" and the aftermarket is reacting. AAPL is down from 393+ to 391.00 in the past 30 minutes. AGQ has climbed from 215 to 217. DGP has climbed above 53 to 53.22. None of this is on huge volume; short-term traders made their adjustments.

Longer term, the deal gets done by those wacky politicos. Longest term, the dollar melts down to nothing, a new currency backed by some combination of commodities arises, and those long physical metal survive intact.
