"House Speaker John A. Boehner, apparently sharing Obama administration alarm about a possible debt default, has told colleagues he will act to raise the federal debt limit even if he has to rely on the votes of House Democrats, GOP aides said Thursday."
"Such a maneuver in effect would suspend the so-called “Hastert Rule,” an unwritten governing principle of Republican House speakers since the 1990s when the chamber has been under GOP control. Under the rule, the speaker will not allow a floor vote on a bill that is not supported by a majority of Republicans."

"White House spokesman Jay Carney responded skeptically."
I'm going to put my own skepticism on hold temporarily, and let some provisional relief wash over me. I'm due.
