4. Obama shouldn't stoop to that level.
Bad idea. He's the President and doesn't need to elevate Boehner to a position of equality.

6. If there was an Obama/Baehnor debate, it should be unmoderated
Let them just ask questions of each other and make their points without rules a 3rd moderating influence. Let them talk and say what they want to say and let their people see and hear what they have to say and how they react.

11. Bad idea. Puts them on a level playing field
Boehner already said "we have the same responsibilities" in his drunken rant Friday night.
