The president will make a statement about the economy when he returns to the White House from the National Catholic prayer breakfast.

On Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) travels to Chicago to deliver a major speech on the economy at the Economic Club of Chicago. I checked with her office yesterday and was told the speech is still a work-in-progress.
