Panic over...almost.

Just watching the news here as it comes in.

Not holding my breath. Someone could break wind the wrong way and the deal is off. :88)

Gas masks all round. :har:

Obama to make speech 18:30pm GMT...:hmmm:

Pass me a pack of crisps, roast beef flavour.

Well something good is apparently happening. The market just skyrocketed.

They'll have fixed a deal, they're not dumb enough to deadlock it past the due date. It's typical eleventh hour politics.

You are giving them to much credit. :haha:

Too be honest this was kicked into the long grass back in 2011 so not very urgent.

And now the cream off on the DOW...Your down 20 odd points after the 60 odd points up.

18:24 update
Going down

18:27
Going up

Of course it was. It needed to be buried during the elections. This is ugly for both sides.

Well, they all seem happy and smiling, so a deal must have been reached. :03:


EDIT:
....or not.


Look out below, here comes the DOW Jones!

Get on with it man...Sorry Mr President.

TLDR?
We didn't manage to reach an agreement, it's Congresses fault, so you're all going to have to pay for their mistakes. Not my fault.


Shortly, a response will come from Congress which will say:
We didn't manage to reach an agreement, it's not our fault, it's all Obamas fault for asking too much, so you're going to have to pay for his mistakes.

Wondering if this is the tighest finale on record :hmm2:

Well that was a load of nothing. :doh:

Get on with it and stop farting around.
