WH - West Wing Week: 8/24/12 or, "The Historic, First-Ever Kids' State Dinner Edition!"
This week, The White House held an historic, first-ever Kids' State Dinner; hosted Americorps, School Improvement Grantees, and Presidential Innovation Fellows. The President held a news conference and spoke with regional reporters about the need for Congress to agree on a balanced deficit reduction plan; and the First Lady made a major veterans hiring announcement in Jacksonville, Florida. That's August 17th to 24th or, "The Historic, First-Ever Kids' State Dinner Edition!"
p.s. Be sure to watch all the way to the end, after you think it might be over, they always add a little tidbit.
