"“The problem that we’ve got is that for Speaker Boehner, for example, him negotiating with me isn’t necessarily good for the extreme faction in his caucus. It weakens him,” Obama said Tuesday, speaking to New York’s WABC. “So there’ve been repeated situations where we have agreements, then he goes back and it turns out that he can’t control his caucus.” That’s hurt the overall relationship between Obama and Boehner and made resolving the shutdown a conversation that the White House has redirected to Senate leaders.
With Republicans in the minority in the Senate, Boehner doesn’t have the cover and extra sway that Gingrich did. The biggest player off the Hill that Gingrich had to deal with was the National Federation of Independent Business — Boehner’s got a much different landscape of funding and outside groups."
