I realize I'm probably the only pittsburgh member left here but anyway.

This is usually the most protested gathering there is ,wherever it is held.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs just announced that the next G-20 summit will be Sept. 24 and 25 in Pittsburgh.

The economic problems of the Steel City and western Pennsylvania make it "a good place to highlight" the challenges of the global recession, Gibbs said. He added that world leaders will already be in the USA for the United Nations General Assembly.

The G-20 includes the world's leading governments, comprising 85% of the global economy. It met in April in London, and at that time Obama offered to host the next get-together.


In Pittsburgh, Obama and other leaders will "take stock of the progress made since the Washington and London summits, and discuss further actions to assure a sound and sustainable recovery from the global economic and financial crisis."

Gibbs said Pittsburgh is "an area that has seen its share of economic woes in the past, but because of foresight and investment is now renewed, giving birth to renewed industries that are creating the jobs of the future."

Obama, he said, "believes it'd be a good place to highlight some of that stuff."
