米オバマ大統領、今秋の医療保険改革法案の成立を予想 来年以降に移民問題を始めとする他の難題に本格着手、ホンジュラスのセラヤ氏復職に向けた米国の取り組みを弁護 北米首脳会談
Leaders of U.S., Mexico and Canada Vow Cooperation (WSJ.com)
GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- President Barack Obama predicted Monday that Congress would pass his health-care overhaul this fall as more "sensible and reasoned arguments" prevail. But he said immigration changes, another politically explosive subject, would have to wait until next year.
At a North American summit in Mexico, the president also delivered an animated defense of U.S. efforts to help restore Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a June 28 coup. He said criticism of his policy in Honduras smacked of "hypocrisy," faulting the U.S. for being too heavy-handed in Latin America and yet telling him he has not intervened enough in Honduras.
Mr. Obama spoke at a news conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, where he confronted questions on both his foreign and domestic agendas, from drug in Mexico to the testy health-care fight at home.

米マクドナルド、７月の既存店売上高が前年比4.3％増 コーヒー飲料へのてこ入れが奏功、米国2.6％増・欧州7.2％増・その他2.1％増 既存店売上高の「下方スパイラル」への警戒感が弱まる、株価上昇
Coffee perks up McDonald’s global sales (FT.com)
McDonald’s move into mochas and iced lattes has helped the fast-food chain report its seventh consecutive month of increases in global sales this year, underscoring the resilience of its business model in the recession.
The company’s shares rose 1.7 per cent in midday trading on Monday to $56.16 after it said comparable-stores sales had risen 4.3 per cent in July, compared with an increase of 8 per cent a year earlier but beating analysts’ consensus expectations of a 3.2 per cent climb and ahead of June’s 2.6 per cent rise.
Jason West, analyst at Deutsche Bank, said the global sales increase had alleviated concern about a possible “downward spiral” in comparable sales, as had been seen at competitors like Burger King. “Globally, they have not had a negative month [in sales] in several years,” he said.
... McDonald’s strongest sales were in Europe, up 7.2 per cent because of the popularity of its “tiered menu” – which offers cheap, middling and expensive options – as well as summer specials such as chicken, bacon and onion sandwiches in France and burgers based on the “great tastes of America” in the UK.

インドネシアGDP伸び率、前年比４％増 ４－６月期、60％を占める個人消費は4.8％増 政府支出17％増、エコノミスト「中銀の焦点は景気刺激からインフレに」 エコノミスト「世界経済の好転（するであろう）に伴ってインドネシア経済は改善するはず」
Indonesia sees Q2 growth spurt (Straits Times)
JAKARTA - INDONESIA'S economy grew at its slowest annual pace in seven years in the second quarter but expanded quicker on a quarterly basis than the previous three months, officials said on Monday.
Economists said the stronger-than-expected data suggest the central bank's focus will shift toward containing inflation rather than stimulating growth.
The economy grew four percent from a year earlier in the second quarter, slowing from 4.37 per cent on-year in the first three months, the Central Statistics Agency said.
... The statistics agency said household consumption, which typically accounts for around 60 per cent of gross domestic product, rose 4.8 per cent on year in the second quarter, and 0.2 per cent compared to the previous quarter.
At the same time, government spending expanded 17 per cent on-year and 23.7 per cent on-quarter, while investment grew 2.7 per cent over the year and 2.4 per cent on a quarterly basis.
... 'Indonesia had held up somewhat better than others in the region, as domestic demand has helped the economy sustain its momentum, and should now improve as the global economy appears to be turning around,' Singapore-based Action Economics economist David Cohen told Dow Jones Newswires.
