Obama and Boehner Set Golf Date.President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner will tee up for a round of golf on June 18, the House Republican's office confirmed Friday. The announcement comes just days after Boehner called on the president to become personally involved in debt ceiling negotiations. While speaking with a small group of reporters Wednesday, the Ohio lawmaker also said he was ready to engage in negotiations so a resolution could happen within the month."The president should engage himself. ... I'm willing. I'm ready. It's time to have the conversation. It's time to play large ball, not small ball," Boehner said Wednesday. Earlier that day, most Members of the House Republican Conference met with Obama at the White House to discuss the country's debt and budget.
