Maybe a little two-person best ball to decide the debt ceiling? John Boehner has accepted President Obama's invitation to go golfing, reports Politico.

The development comes after Boehner criticized the president for not taking more of a leadership role in the budget and debt talks. Moody's might be watching the round. (More John Boehner stories.)
