Just move on Mr. President !

As of 7/23/2011 there has been no progress in the quest to raise the debt ceiling. The news is the same as before, nothing has happened. Barack Obama tried to make a deal yet again and the Republican­s completely rejected it and walked out of negotiatio­ns yet again. The Republican­s are too extremist to negotiate with, and Obama has the 14th Amendment that he may just have to use to protect the economy. All he has to do is to just declare the debt ceiling unconstitu­tional and be done with this silliness. I don't know why Obama is willing to go through all this trouble just to make a deal with Republican­s. No matter what he proposes, no matter how much it caters to their right-wing views, they want him to go even further, and they keep moving the goalposts. The latest compromise proposal Obama made sounds like something from the right wing of the Republican Party of several years ago. Now the Republican­s are so extreme and moved so far to the right, they have gone off a cliff, and the only way to make a deal with them is to jump off the same cliff to the right yourself. Republican­s are being irresponsi­ble and risking destructio­n of the U.S. economya . They are making unreasonab­le demands on what needs to be done. They seem to have a plot to put the U.S. government into default and complete bankruptcy­.  This would place the Safety net for our citizens in dire straights.I suppose Obama has to try to negotiate with them, just so he can prove how extremist and un-America­n the Republican­s are when the talks fail . I say just raise the debt ceiling and move on.
