According to Bloomberg Business Week  President Barack Obama is  entertaining the idea of having the negotiation meetings over the debt ceiling at Camp David of which the Republicans are refusing to do as of late. 
Since when does the president of the United States need to go to Camp David to raise the debt ceiling?  The president most often uses Camp David for vacation or for the purpose of negotiating with foreign dignitaries of nations such as China, Russia or Israel.
Camp David has never been needed to negotiate with our very own members of congress in order to raise the debt ceiling, how ridiculous is that?      
Unfortunately we now have members of congress who are willing to place our nations financial standing at risk for the sake of their lust for power.
Unfortunately we now have a democratically elected president who is forced to treat our Republican members of congress like foreign dignitaries who need to be swayed to a more peaceful resolution for the sake and safety of the civilized world.  
Most of these same congressional (so-called leaders) raised the debt ceiling for George Bush seven times.  Now to keep them from screwing up our country even more then they already did under Bush and their Wall Street Lords we have to endure this foolishness because they have a mandate destroy Obama at all cost even if it means Rome Burns.
