President Obama punts to earlier time against NFL game after caving to GOP of televised jobs speech (Alison Gendar AND Thomas M. Defrank, 9/01/11, NY DAILY NEWS)

Obama will now deliver his televised jobs speech at 7 p.m. Thursday - a half-hour before NBC is set to launch its coverage of the NFL's opening game.
