So far, Boehner has held fundraisers at golf courses in Toledo and Columbus, traveled north to help drum up cash for House Republicans in Minnesota, and will headline a private fundraiser for Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill. at the end of the month. (Mario Tama/Getty Images)

In a letter, House Speaker John Boehner asks President Obama to move his address to a Joint Session of Congress from next Wednesday to next Thursday.
