The Treasury Department begins to unload AIG stock, new doctor incentives for keeping patients healthy, elections in France and Greece and the implications back home and Obama is done "evolving" on the gay marriage issue. This and more in this week's Week in Pictures.

DeLeo, right, looks on as Steven Walsh, chairman of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing, speaks about the health care legislation introduced by DeLeo and the House at the Statehouse in Boston, Friday, May 4, 2012. House leaders unveiled a health care payment bill they say will lower family premiums by nearly $2,000 annually over the next five years. The bill detailed Friday is designed to cut waste and duplication from the health care system while rewarding doctors and hospitals for keeping patients healthy instead of paying them for each operation or service they provide.

In this May 8, 2012 photo, outgoing French President Nicolas Sarkozy, right, and President-elect Francois Hollande observe a minute of silence at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during commemorations at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The elections that drove Sarkozy out of power in France and left Greece scrambling to build a coalition government pose a financial threat to the United States that could undermine President Barack Obama's efforts to cast himself as the agent of a U.S. economic revival. That could feed Mitt Romney's argument that the economy under Obama is too weak to sustain a financial shock from across the Atlantic. (AP Photo/Francois Mori, Pool)
