Raising the Debt Limit -Non-negotiable

President Obama should declare that the Democrats will not negotiate on this issue. The question is whether the increase is necessary - for the country and world markets. The question is not what concessions or spending cuts the Republicans can wring from the President.

Why? Once he begins to bargain, there is really no limit to what Obama would be obliged to concede to save the country from default. He cares. Make the Republicans vote up or down on the issue.

A difficult position to take, but the President should be absolutely firm. The place for negotiation is the 2012 budget, not connection to action the nation must take.
