I found the following article by Karl Rove interesting.  Not that I necessarily agree with him that often, but I like what his point is in this article.  That even without really trying, Boehner is putting Obama to shame.  The second Rove article also shows how irrelevant the President is becoming

Behind the scenes the White House has only ever agreed to token reform and cuts.

The federal government spends more than $10 billion a day.
