WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's planned golf outing June 18 with House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner now has a complete foursome.

Vice President Joe Biden will join Obama for the round, while Republican Boehner will have Ohio's Republican governor, John Kasich, at his side.

With Democrats and Republicans at odds over debt and deficits, the White House and Boehner's office have faced questions over whether the players will have time for a discussion about the key issues.

But both sides say the golf outing is purely a social occasion, a good chance to get to know each other and reach across the partisan divide. Kasich, though, was chairman of the House Budget Committee during deficit negotiations with the Clinton White House.

1. Not a great idea to have all three of them in the same place at the same time

Line of Presidential succession if something where to happen to President Obama

VP Biden (D)
Speaker Boehner (R)
then
President pro tempore of the Senate Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (D)

Etc... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession

Having the top three guys all in the same place at the same time is a bad idea!
Hopefully it will be a clear day with no lightning in sight!
