The Washington Monument is seen behind White House on July 31, 2011 in Washington, DC. US President Barack Obama and top lawmakers raced against the clock Sunday in hopes of hammering out a deal that would avert a disastrous US debt default and a downgrade in its credit rating. Obama, his Democratic allies, and his Republican foes have been hunting for a breakthrough deal that would ensure the worlds richest nation will have cash to pay its bills past a midnight Tuesday (0400 GMT Wednesday) deadline.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the iconic Washington Monument stands tall and proud behind the White House, serving as a powerful symbol of American democracy. Taken on July 31,2011, during a critical moment in US history, it captures the urgency and tension surrounding the country's economy and politics. The image represents a pivotal time when President Barack Obama and top lawmakers were engaged in intense negotiations to prevent a catastrophic default on US debt. With time running out before the midnight Tuesday deadline, they raced against the clock to find a breakthrough deal that would safeguard America's financial stability. The composition of this photograph is strikingly beautiful yet laden with significance. The juxtaposition of these two national landmarks reflects both hope and responsibility. The White House embodies political power while standing as a testament to leadership, while the Washington Monument represents resilience and unity. Jewel Samad skillfully captured this historic moment from an exterior perspective, allowing viewers to witness these monumental decisions being made within those walls. Through his lens, we are reminded of our nation's ability to confront challenges head-on and find solutions even in times of great uncertainty. This AFP print serves as a poignant reminder that politics can have far-reaching consequences for everyday citizens. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in American history but also highlights how interconnected global economies are impacted by political decisions made within these hallowed halls.
