FILE - In this Feb. 19, 2011, file photo U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner answers questions at the closing press conference of the G20 Finance summit in Paris. Five years and one financial crisis since the United States and China commenced regular high-level economic talks, fast-growing Beijing might have the upper hand Monday, May 9, 2011, in the latest round of discussions between the world's two biggest economies.

The United States has never defaulted on its debt and leaders from both parties say they don’t want it to happen now. But with partisan acrimony running at fever pitch, and Democrats and Republicans far apart on how to tame the deficit, anything could happen. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) (AP)

President Barack Obama has launched his re-election bid in a low-key manner, but the Republican Party’s search for a challenger seems stranger by the day. In Iowa at least, there’s also widespread talk about Bachmann, who would be the first president elected directly from the House since James Garfield. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) (AP)
