Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

Boehner: “Tell you what, Barry, I’ve got a little popularity problem with my own party so here’s what we do:  we let the right-wing crazy people shut down the government for couple of weeks, you punish the public by closing the parks and have your buddies in the media savage the Tea Party.  Send some of your bureaucrats out to tell everybody the sky is going to fall.  Meanwhile, the other senior leadership and I will fumble around not doing much until we can declare that the public pressure is too great and sensible people must step in to restore order and save the day.  Then we’ll give you a blank check to kick the can down the road for a few more months and we can all go back to the cocktail parties but without those pesky Tea Party types, who won’t have any clout so they won’t be invited. How’s that sound?”

Obama: “Yeah, okay.  Now kiss my ring and bow as you leave my presence.”

By outward appearances, that’s not too far off.
