Weekly Address: Congress Must Act to Create Jobs and Grow the Economy
President Obama describes how the House of Representatives left town without finishing important work that would create jobs and strengthen our economy.
Watch President Obama's weekly address.

Weekly Wrap Up
Here's a quick glimpse at what happened this week on WhiteHouse.gov:
Team USA Behind the Scenes: Last week, the President and the First Lady welcomed the 2012 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams to the White House to honor their participation and success in this year's Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. On Tuesday, we released a new video that lets you go behind the scenes and hear from the athletes as they describe their visit. Check it out here.
We also released a video of Paralympian Champion Lt. Brad Snyder sharing his story with First Lady Michelle Obama. "Overcoming adversity is a decision that everyone makes," Brad said, "And you can let that beat you or you can make the decision to move forward." Watch the video here.
Celebrating the 2011 WNBA Champions: On Tuesday, President Obama welcomed the Minnesota Lynx to the White House, congratulating them on their successful season and thanking them for continuing to set an important example for young women across the country:
"As the husband of a tall, good-looking woman and as the father of two tall, fabulous girls, it is just wonderful to have these young ladies as role models. There's something about women's athletics -- we know for a fact that when girls are involved in athletics, they do better across the board. They're more confident. They do better in school."
Aung San Suu Kyi at the White House: On Wednesday, President Obama met with Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese Nobel Laureate and leader of the National League for Democracy Party. The President expressed his admiration for her courage, determination and personal sacrifice in championing democracy and human rights over the years. To learn more, see the full readout of the meeting.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” finally and formally being repealed, allowing gay and lesbian service members to serve openly in our nation's armed forces. In a statement marking the anniversary, President Obama said that repealing the law “upheld the fundamental American values of fairness and equality.”
President Obama signed repeal into law in December of 2010, and in July of 2011 the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certified that the Department of Defense had taken all the steps needed to prepare the military for repeal. Sixty days after that, at 12:01 a.m. on September 20, 2011, the era of Don't Ask, Don't Tell was over.
For more information:
National POW/MIA Recognition Day: Today marks the commemoration of National POW/MIA Recognition Day, where the nation honors those service members who endured captivity and whose remains have yet to be recovered. The day serves as a stark reminder of the risks and sacrifices that American service members and their families make every day. It is important that we acknowledge service members and their families. To see how you can support those who serve and our veterans, please visit joiningforces.gov.
You're Invited: This fall, the White House will once again open its gardens and grounds to visitors from across the country, continuing First Lady Michelle Obama's commitment to opening up the White House to as people as possible. To all of our social media followers, we invite you to join the White House Fall Garden Tour with a special tour of the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, Rose Garden, and South Lawn, including the White House Kitchen Garden.
Interested in joining? Apply to attend the White House Social Fall Garden Tour today.

Kind of amazing.
You have to see this video.
Every White House has the privilege of hosting some world class athletes. Every President gets an opportunity to welcome Super Bowl champions, winners of the NBA Finals, and other professional and collegiate athletes at the top of their games.
But every once in a while, the White House hosts a group of champions who represent us all -- Team USA.
Last week, more than 400 Olympians and Paralympians gathered at the White House for an event to celebrate their success in this year's London Games.
We put together a video that takes you behind the scenes and lets you hear from the athletes as they describe their visit. Check it out here:
We also sat down with one extraordinary athlete -- Lieutenant Brad Snyder -- as he met with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Lieutenant Snyder is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. Exactly one year after he was blinded by an improvised explosive device while on duty in Afghanistan, he won gold in the 400-meter freestyle in the London Paralympics, finishing nearly six seconds ahead of the next closest competitor.
That video is pretty special, too.
Check them both out here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/team-usa

Subject: Gas und Erdöl haben ausgedient! Unser Weiterbildungsangebot zum ökologisch Heizen und Wärme erzeugen!
OTTI-Newsletter |

17. September 2012 |
Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser,
alternative Möglichkeiten der Wärmegewinnung werden heute gegenüber herkömmlichen Heizarten deutlich bevorzugt. Und auch wenn noch Aufholbedarf besteht, gerade auch was die Nachrüstung älterer Wohnanlagen und Häuser angeht, so scheint doch offensichtlich, dass immer mehr Menschen versuchen, dem Diktat des Heizöls zu entkommen.
Schlaue Hausbauer haben längst erkannt: es geht kostengünstiger und vor allem ökologischer. Dabei geht es bei der Wärmegewinnung ja nicht nur um eine warme Heizung an kalten Wintertagen, sondern auch um die optimale Versorgung mit warmem Wasser, welches ja niemand missen möchte. Holzpellets, Pressholz, Biomasse oder Biogas sind die Energieträger der Zukunft bei nahezu unerschöpflichen Ressourcen.
Wir haben topaktuelle Informationen rund um diese Themaik in den nachfolgenden Versanstaltungen für Sie zusammengefasst.
Termin: 08.10.2012
Termin: 11.10.2012 - 12.10.2012
Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Anmeldung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Regensburg

Marking the Eleventh Anniversary of 9/11
Today, President Obama and the First Lady marked the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
They began the day at the White House, observing a moment of silence on the South Lawn just after 8:45 a.m., around the time the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. Afterward, they traveled to the Pentagon, where the President spoke at a memorial service in honor of those who died there, as well as in New York and Pennsylvania.
Vice President Biden marked the anniversary by traveling to Shanksville, PA, where he delivered remarks at the Flight 93 National Memorial Commemorative Service to honor the passengers and crew who died there 11 years ago today.
Read more about the September 11 anniversary observation.
