I actually think Obama's timing is in poor taste, it coincides with the republican debate, which HAS been known for some time. clo
The Republican presidential debate scheduled for Sept. 7 at the Reagan Library will not be postponed, NBC News and POLITICO said Wednesday, despite the White House's announcement that President Obama has asked congressional leaders to address a joint session on jobs at the same time.
"We're thrilled that we now have a terrific opportunity to hear from national leaders of both major parties about the most pressing domestic issues facing the country," NBC News and POLITICO said.
NBC News and POLITICO are sponsoring the debate, which is being hosted by the Reagan Foundation.
