WASHINGTON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will be receiving a daily economic briefing from his senior advisers each day at his request, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Thursday.
"The president asked that this be added each day to his schedule as the country is in the midst of an economic crisis and an economic emergency," Gibbs said in his first White House briefing.
"He felt it was important that each day he receive the most up-to-date information as it relates to the economy as we put together an economic reinvestment and recovery plan as well as future financial stability packages," he said.
