Controversial Timing - Jobs Speech vs GOP Debate

Lot's of drama yesterday and today over the scheduling of President Obama's speech on jobs on the same day as the GOP Primary debate in California set for September 7th.  This has caused quite a stir from the GOP side because of the debate that has been scheduled for the GOP hopefuls and has given them reason to question why President Obama had to pick this day.  White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, has stated that the scheduling of the speech at the same time of the debate was coincidental.

Speaker Boehner has requested that they move the speech to the 8th which President Obama has agreed to, but not until much negative press from the GOP side was given.  Speaker Boehner claims that the House was only given a 15 minute notice before the issue of this date before it was announced.  With much debate during the day yesterday the President has finally agreed to move the speech to the next night.

So what do you guys think?  Is this a preview to the political scene that we will see this fall, or do you think that bi-partisanship is still possible at this point.  It looks like both the GOP and the Democrats are in full campaign mode.
