In some of the comments there people are wondering why Obama is even negotiating with Boehner when it looks like he can't even get his party to go along with him.

That's the question isn't it?
If Boehner can't deliver support in the House, then he isn't the guy Obama should be talking to.
Obama is doing the negotiations because the Democrats would back him up. But without a leader on the opposing side who has any power to pass legislation in the House, there can't BE a negotiation.
It seems until the GOP decide who they would follow in their own party, the Democrats are on their own.
