6:31 am
witness to history throughout the world? >> the rest of the world has started to wonder if this is business as usual or the normal for the united states. the number of officials who i talked to, whether they are foreign world leaders or american ambassadors abroad. they are very concerned about the perception of america abroad. in other words, a government that can come to a shutdown. people were stunned by it. on the other hand, you didn't see it tanking in the market because people are used to it and thinking by the very end andless minute, something will happen to right the ship. >> is this as bad as it seems from the inside or is this loud political sharp elbows? >> i think there are sharper elbows than there used to be. the political debate has always been us. i think one of the problems here has been that with the rise of the tea party, and let's remember, it used to be
