Ehh...I would take everything you hear right now with a grain of salt. The democrats/media did this before during one of the previous debt ceiling hikes. It goes like this:

1. Obama and Boehner/McConnell meet.
2. Obama tells republicans to eat shirt and die.
3. Media reports that Obama "...offers grand bargain, Republicans will accept!"
4. Obama tells Boehner that the media has already announced he will accept. If Boehner backs out of the deal he never agreed to, he'll miss his tee time that afternoon and the media will (continue to) paint him as an idiot.
5. Boehner agrees to allow republicans to be raped....deal lets republicans pick the flavor of the lube.
6. Boehner and Obama smoke celebratory cigarette, head off towards ladies tees in golf cart.

Paradoxes abound.

The Dems, a big gov't party, claim to want the gov't open, but do everything they can to keep it shut down.
The R's, supposedly a small gov't party, said they wanted the gov't shutdown, but are doing whatever they now can to open it.

The R's wanted the shut down to make the D's look bad.
The D's want the shut down to last, to make the R's look bad.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
