It was a face-off between the two most important men in America’s political parties that threatened to get as messy as the debt ceiling debate.
But Barack Obama has agreed to House Speaker John Boehner's request to move a jobs speech by one day following a primetime booking clash.
Republican Mr Boehner was annoyed because next Wednesday night was supposed to be a showcase for the party’s eight presidential candidates.
Tough: President Barack Obama will announce his jobs plan next Thursday, after agreeing to avoid a clash with a Republican debate on Wednesday
The President wants to lay out his jobs plan to a rare joint session of Congress and speak about proposals for economic growth
He will talk about tax credits and infrastructure spending and make calls for shrinking the deficit, with the U.S. economy on the rails.
But Mr Boehner suggested the speech was moved to Thursday to avoid the clash and any ‘parliamentary or logistical impediments’.
Speech: John Boehner, left, received a letter from the President requesting to speak to both houses of Congress on the same day as a Republican debate
The White House wanted to avoid this clash, but it will stop Wednesday's Republican presidential debate being upstaged by Mr Obama.
Mr Obama said Washington must answer the call to put aside politics and do what is best for the country to grow the economy and create jobs.
The White House said he decided to seek to speak to a joint session of Congress because congressional action is needed to carry out his plans.

‘(Then) we can ensure there will be no parliamentary or logistical impediments that might detract from your remarks.’
The Republican debate, which will be broadcast live on MSNBC, will be the first to feature Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the original scheduling was a ‘thinly veiled political ploy’, reported the National Journal
