After objections from House Speaker John Boehner, President Barack Obama has decided to reschedule a Congressional speech on the economy.
President Obama desired to outline his much-anticipated jobs creation plan next Wednesday evening, but that conflict with a Republican debate.
Mr Boehner asked Mr Obama speak a day later instead, and the White House has decided to his recommendation.
US unemployment - still over 9% - could dominate 2012's presidential elections.
The White House had earlier insisted the scheduling conflict with a televised Republican 2012 debate at the Ronald Reagan Library in California next Wednesday evening was "coincidental".
But several Republican leaders said the timing was a political move to get sympathy.
