President Obama suggested Monday that House Speaker John Boehner should cut him some slack on the golf course when the two hit the links together in a few weeks.

Turns out that Boehner thinks that's a fine idea - under one condition. "I was watching one of these cable programs - it must have been Saturday morning - when ... somebody said, 'Well, you know, if the president wants strokes from Boehner, Boehner ought to say to the president: "Mr. President, you can have all the strokes you want. It'll just cost you a trillion dollars per stroke," ' " Boehner said in Middletown, Ohio on Tuesday. "I thought it was a very good idea."
