The GOP's true masters, as we here (not the trolls, but the true DUers here) all know, is Big Business, foreign and domestic. When Big Business sees the GOP are going to eviscerate their bottom line and not raise the debt ceiling to pay debts already incurred, they will come down on them like raging tigers.
All President Obama has to do is not negotiate. Stand firm and tell them, "Raise the debt ceiling". That's it.
For the doubters here, remember he promised he wouldn't keep tax cuts for the top 2% the last time they held the U.E. benefits hostage (and just before Christmas, too, those assholes) and forced him to extend them. He kept his promise as we've seen in the last fiscal slope deal.
He has said, steadfast, that he will not debate on the debt ceiling. I believe he is dead serious.
