Another day, another round of debt ceiling negotiations.
As the government shutdown slogged into its 12 day, President Obama urged Republican lawmakers to extent the country’s debt limit for longer than the six weeks they’ve already proposed.
“It wouldn’t be wise, as some suggest, to kick the debt ceiling can down the road for a couple months, and flirt with a first-ever intentional default right in the middle of the holiday shopping season,” Obama said in his weekly address today.
House Republicans, who are being blamed by the president and, according to polls, by a majority of Americans, for causing the government shutdown, will meet re-evaluate their options for a debt ceiling agreement at the Capitol today. Read more.

This makes too much sense to be accepted by the House Republicans.
I agree, Obama should start negotiating and working with the republicans, and stop acting like the stubborn liberal he is. For him to have the nerve to say “I will not negotiate with a gun to my head” , it was his ignoring the will of the people that got us into this.
Obama is an egomaniac: review his behavior since his first nomination. He cannot accept the idea of being denied what he wants. He was conned by George Soros and company, who saw him as the manipuable child he is and set him up as a Hollywood star-type. Do you remember the Greek amphitheater staging of the first campaign?
How naive are the mass of Americans!
There isn’t anything to negotiate. Raise the debt ceiling. Period.
