Obama needs to start from "I will veto anything other than a clean bill on the debt ceiling".
That is all.

It's too important to screw around on. Let the Rethugs twist themselves into knots about it, let them go ahead and try to work it. Let them challenge this (and send the global economy into a second nosedive that will be on THEIR hands).

Call their bluff Mr. President.

2. You are overlooking a very important point

No bill will get to his desk unless Senate Democrats are on board as well. Whether it's clean or not, if a bill gets that far and he vetoes it, he will be going against Republicans AND Democrats. For that reason, he will have to wear all of the blame. I'm not sure I'd stake out that position if I were him.

4. That's a bluff, and they'd spot it a mile away.
The debt ceiling is serious business and there is going to be stuff added.
