FILE - In this Aug. 1, 2013 file photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. The accomplishments are few, the chaos plentiful in the 113th Congress, a discourteous model of divided government. "Have senators sit down and shut up, okay?ââ Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blurted out as lawmakers milled about noisily at a time Sen. Susan Collins was trying to speak. There was political calculation even in that. Democrats knew the Maine Republican was about rip into her own partyâs leadership. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)

FILE - In this June 6, 2013, file photo. President Barack Obama gestures while speaking at Mooresville Middle School in Mooresville, N.C. Obama traveled to Mooresville, N.C. to promote his "Middle Class Jobs and Opportunity Tour." Back in January 2010, Obama set a lofty goal of doubling U.S. exports in five years. With just 18 months to go to 2015, that target seems to be slipping beyond reach and has vanished from White House talking points. Blame tepid U.S. manufacturing growth, the lingering weak global economy, and a stronger U.S. dollar, which makes it harder to sell American goods and services overseas. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)

Obama likely to miss goal of doubling exports
