After jobs speech dust-up, Obama agrees to change date
Speaker Boehner objected to Sept. 7, citing 'impediments' on GOP debate night

President Barack Obama agreed late Wednesday to delay a planned jobs speech to a joint session of Congress by one day after House Speaker John Boehner objected to the date the White House originally sought.

Obama had asked to address Congress with his much-anticipated jobs proposal at 8 p.m. EDT next Wednesday, a time that would have overlapped with a previously scheduled Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., sponsored by NBC News and POLITICO.

...

Obama's address still gives him a grand stage to unveil his economic agenda, but it falls on the same evening as the opening game of the National Football League season.

The timing dispute created an inauspicious start to the jobs debate and introduced tensions before Congress even returns from its annual summer recess.

It began with the White House releasing the letter at noon Wednesday from Obama to Boehner and Reid requesting they convene a joint session of Congress for his address at 8 p.m. on Sept. 7.

Usually, presidential requests to address Congress are routinely granted after consultations between the White House and lawmakers.

In this case, the White House notified Boehner's office on the same day it released the letter requesting the session.

One GOP aide had complained that the White House alerted Boehner only 15 minutes before releasing its original letter requesting Sept. 7. The aide hinted that such short notice was a tad disrespectful.

A White House official responded, saying: "Boehner?s office was consulted about the 9/7 date before the letter was released. No objection/concern was raised," so the letter went out.

But Boehner's office said that the White House account was not accurate.

"No one in the speaker's office ? not the speaker, not any staff ? signed off on the date the White House announced today," said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck. "Unfortunately we weren't even asked if that date worked for the House. Shortly before it arrived this morning, we were simply informed that a letter was coming. It's unfortunate the White House ignored decades ? if not centuries ? of the protocol of working out a mutually agreeable date and time before making any public announcement."

But NBC's Luke Russert tweeted on Wednesday evening that a House historian labeled Boehner's public rebuff as unprecedented.
