The debt ceiling isn’t Obama’s problem. It’s the GOP’s problem.

2. Agreed - He Should Say No Negotiations With THe Repugs...

if the Repug House can't go along and raise the 'debt ceiling' as has been historically done throughout history and if the economy crashes - it is all on them. Just tell them that - and don't talk about it with them.

Boehner has already said - he will not negotiate one on one with the President. So let the President take him on his word. "John - it's up to you and your Party."

PBO should use the kind of the language one of the speakers that talked to an empty chair at the Repug Convention is famous for.

Here is what he should say:

"I know what you’re thinking John - "Did I use up all my political capital on the fiscal cliff deal?" Well, to tell you the truth John, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being that I won the election, and I'm the most powerful leader in the world, and do not care about your problems with your caucus, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well do ya, punk?
