How well will these 10%+ dividend payers weather the debt crisis?

My entire portfolio is high dividend stocks right now. I don't have the time to second guess the Russian Roulette being played by Republicans in congress who would rather destroy the worlds largest economy than pay more taxes, and as a result the market is simply too volatile for my usual style of swing trades to work.

Here is the breakdown of my current dividend only Portfolio

CMO (finance) - currently paying 14.5% 

NLY  (finance) - currently paying 14.87%

AGD - (Global Dividend Fund) - currently paying 10.17%

AOD - (Global Dividend Fund) - currently paying  11.32%

CPLP - (Supertankers) - currently paying 11.44% 

My income portfolio is fairly diversified, but did get hammered in the last week, so I was glad to see the recovery today. Look at this graph of the bounce back from the last weeks vicious drop.

CMO Dividend paid 26c QTR 9.2% yield PA

CMO announces dividend of 0.26 per share, but drops below my 10% threashold

CMO's dividend has dropped below my 10% threshold for holding dividend stocks. I'll be looking for a profitable exit point for this stock as my holding is currently at loss. 9.45% is OK, but we try to do better!

AGNC has proven much more profitable mortgage stock to either trade or hold for it's nearly 20% dividend.

You can see the decline in the dividend below or see previous post.
