So let's game this out.
Say Boehner "stands his ground" and lets the government remain shutdown, AND refuses to even allow a vote to raise the debt ceiling.
Then Obama and the Treasury pull all the stops out, doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to keep essential lights on despite Congress.
How essential does Congress itself seem at that point?
This could backfire as badly as my 5 year old threatening to run away from home.

Wait, are you saying that Boehner is going to shoot Obama for wearing a hoodie while black? Well, I can't say I disagree with you.
