While I’m skeptical of Boehner’s ability as speaker, I could see Boehner trying to play it out this way: He offers up raising the debt ceiling as a way to get 0bama to the table. It might be a sound strategy, except for one thing.
0bama is a communist.
Anyone who re-elects this Nasty Pelooser impressionist is crazy!

What’s another trillion or two added to the debt at this point? We’re already beyond the point of no return. The ceiling will continue going up until it can’t (i.e., a mathematical limit to taxing, borrowing and printing which we’ve nearly exhausted).
The country has a ‘shop till you drop’ mentality. We’re not far from the drop.
Good comment, plus you send a clear signal to the markets - we’re not crazy. We know the debt ceiling is the critical vote.
It totally knocks out Obama’s stock market scare tactics. We’re winning.
