PRESIDENT OBAMA: ABC News’ Mary Bruce: “ Obama Jobs Address Moved to Next Thursday After Flap With Boehner” The White House says they consulted with House Speaker John Boehner about the Wednesday date for his address before the president sent his letter of request to Congress earlier today, but that Boehner “determined Thursday would work better.” Speaker Boehner wrote a letter to President Obama Wednesday afternoon, rejecting the president’s request for a joint session of Congress next Wednesday, Sept. 7, and instead proposed that the president address lawmakers next Thursday, Sept. 8 “at a time that works best for your schedule.” LINK

The Hills’ Sam Youngman: “ After scheduling tussle, Obama to address Congress on Thursday” In a likely foreshadowing of a contentious work session to come, President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) agreed on when the president could present his jobs plan only after a heated back and forth over scheduling. A contentious and public disagreement over when the president would give a speech to a joint session of Congress erupted Wednesday and ended when the White House accepted the Speaker’s proposed date.

The New York Daily News’  Joseph Straw, Bill Hutchinson and Thomas M. Defrank: “ Obama caves to Boehner’s wishes, now will deliver speech to Congress on same night as NFL opener” President Obama has postponed an urgent economic speech to a joint session of Congress by 24 hours – avoiding a clash with the GOP but creating one with the NFL. The White House had initially scheduled the prime-time speech for next Wednesday, which would have gone up against the Republican presidential candidates’ debate. LINK

USA Today’s David Jackson: “ White House relents over timing of Obama’s jobs speech” President Obama will outline his jobs program to a joint session of Congress next Thursday, the White House announced Wednesday night, following an hours-long standoff with Republicans over what day he would speak. “The president is focused on the urgent need to create jobs and grow our economy, so he welcomes the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

The New York Times’ Helene Cooper and Jackie Calmes: “Obama to Move Jobs Speech After Skirmish With Boehner” Any hopes that a kinder, gentler bipartisan Washington would surface once Congress returns after Labor Day were summarily dashed on Wednesday when President Obama and Speaker John A. Boehner clashed over, of all things, the date and time of the president’s much-awaited speech to the nation about his proposal to increase jobs and fix the economy. LINK

The Washington Post’s Peter Wallsten and David Nakamura: “Obama jobs speech creates conflict with GOP” President Obama announced Wednesday his intention to lay out a new jobs plan in a speech to Congress next week that strategists hope will set a new tone for his tenure. But the announcement provoked an instant confrontation with Republicans over the seemingly trivial question of timing, resolved only when the White House agreed late Wednesday to delay the speech by one day, to Sept. 8.

Politico’s Glenn Thrush and Jonathan Allen: “ Partisan fight leads Obama to move date of speech” A presidential address to a joint session of Congress is usually one of Washington’s more dignified and predictable events — but President Barack Obama’s request to deliver a Sept. 7 speech quickly devolved into just another partisan pie fight. Oval Office requests for a prime-time slot in the well of the House — whatever the motivation, topic or tenor of the times — are traditionally approved on a more or less pro forma basis. In fact, the official historian for the House of Representatives told reporters Wednesday that no such request has ever been publicly rejected. LINK

2012 ELECTIONS / GOP: Los Angeles Times’ Kathleen Hennessey: “ Bachmann an outsider on Capitol Hill” Michele Bachmann is swarmed by media and adoring fans as she blazes the campaign trail in Iowa seeking the Republican presidential nomination. But there is still a place where the three-term Minnesota congresswoman looks lonely — Capitol Hill. The telegenic politician has reached a national audience largely without the aid of the party apparatus, and that strategy has not endeared her to many of her colleagues. LINK

The Wall Street Journal’s Neil King Jr. and Jonathan Weisman: “ Romney, in Shift, to Court Tea Party” For months, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign plan couldn’t have been simpler: Raise money, stay above the fray, watch his Republican opponents duke it out on the right, and hammer the incumbent president as through it were already the general election. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has complicated all that.Since joining the race not even three weeks ago, Mr. Perry has knocked Mr. Romney from his national front-runner status in the Republican presidential-nomination contest.

GABRIELLE GIFFORDS: The Washington Times’ Valerie Richardson: “In Arizona, a tentative return to politics as Giffords recovers” The idea of challenging Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords for her congressional seat was once unthinkable, but a few potential candidates are tentatively starting to test the political climate. LINK

OTHER: Bloomberg’s Andrew Zajac: “ CEOs Earned More Than U.S. Companies’ Tax Bills, Study Finds” Twenty-five of the best-paid chief executive officers in the U.S. earned more in salary and other compensation in 2010 than their companies’ federal income tax expenses as disclosed in public filings, according to a report by the Institute for Policy Studies. The Washington-based nonprofit group’s report, released today, examined 100 publicly traded U.S. corporations with the highest-paid CEOs. It found that companies whose CEOs’ compensation exceeded reported tax expense in 2010 had average global profits of $1.9 billion. LINK
