In my opinion, Boehner looked at this and probably realized that if they fight it, it takes Obamacare off the front page and reinforces the liberal mindset that Republicans are trying to destroy the government.
The media would tie the ceiling into Obamacare and sell it to the masses that Republicans are responsible for Obamacare.
And the thing is, even with the fight, the debt ceiling would still pass. The GOP needs to keep Obamacare on the front page. The debt ceiling probably won’t make it to page A22 of the Slimes.
Bullcrap. Boehner had already taken Obamacare off the front page with his push for Amnesty. That's a lame ass excuse for plain old caving.

This isn't a time for politics as usual.
The country is $17 Trillion dollars in debt, and $6 Trillion of it was accumulated on Obama's watch. The Federal Reserve is printing $85 Billion dollars worth of Monopoly money every month to prop up the system, which is devaluing the dollar like a lead boat anchor.
The Democrats and RINOs are literally destroying the economy of the United States before our very eyes, and you think Boehner made a wise move by voting to extend even more credit to these criminals and traitors?
No! If Boehner had a brain, a spine, or a single shred of American patriotism in his body, he'd be calling for Obama's impeachment!
At this point in time, a Republican Speaker of the House ought to be spiking a list of demands to the Oval Office door with a Bowie knife!

Excellent distillation of this excellent article.

FR BREAKING NEWS:
The 5 year long, lopsided power struggle continues on the now shredded Congressional Field of Battle in the District of Corruption, along the muddy banks of De Nile River.
The simple goal of the much-praised Left Team, also called “Democrats,” as stated by their team captain B. Hussein Soetoro-Obama is to “Fundamentally change the United States of America.”
The multiple, and very complex goals of the Right Team, as yet unstated but consistently acted out by Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad Co- Captains John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Pete Roskam is to DO NOTHING that will irritate the Left Team.
The Right Team is also known by the name “Republicans,” a nostalgic name from a long-past time when there was “Liberty and Justice for all.”
The Left Team has a single Offense Squad with All Democrat Stars from many Schools of Higher Government Learning, to name just a few:
* Department of Gestapo Justice, (DOGJ);
* National Spy On U., (NSOU);
* Interrogate Ream Sue U., (IRSU)
* Reid Barrycade Senate Universal, (RBSU).
The Left Team always runs down the Congressional Field of Battle together, and has been admiringly nicknamed “ District of Corruption, United.”
The Right Team has never allowed the many Constitutional Offense Squads onto the Congressional Field of Battle, due to well-timed and strongly worded objections from many RINO luminaries such as Loser Emeritus, “Wacko Birds” McCain.
After a recent weekend, group-hug, bonding session, many caucus meetings, and private deal-making, Lead Co-Captain John Boehner picked up the ball yesterday and ran down the Congressional Field of Battle to score a goal for the Left Team.
Thanks to the RINO Defensive actions of “Wrongway” Boehner and his ‘gang of 27,’ an additional 1 to 4, (nobody is really sure), TRILLION dollars will be added to the National Poverty Debt Game Clock.
Co-Captain “Wrongway” Boehner was assisted by 27 Members of the Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad.
Needless to say, “Wrongway” Boehner and his ‘gang of 27’ made no contact with any of the Left Team Members.
Time will tell if donations to the Special Wrongway RINO Defense Squad, (SWRDS), will increase or decrease before the Championship Game in November, 2014.
