My understanding is that Boehner and Obama was this close to a deal, which was tough for both of them because of the concessions they had to make. Then Obama for some reason decided to ask Boehner for more concessions, and Boehner was beside himself, so he basically called it all off.

Later on, 11th hour negotiations were going on with Obama basically "voted off the island."
Yes, This is all carefully documented in the latest Bob Woodward book.
