The White House has released a couple of photos from the dinner of President Barack Obama with technology industry bigwigs Thursday evening in Woodside, Calif.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the medical leave from his duties with Apple daily, there was. A crowded table photo shows work seated to the left of Obama and Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg right of Obama.
Even a collection, according to Search Engine Land: Carol Bartz, President and CEO of Yahoo!; John Chambers, CEO and President of Cisco Systems; Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter; Larry Ellison, co-founder and CEO of Oracle; Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix; John Hennessy, President of Stanford University; Art Levinson, Chairman and CEO of Genentech ex; Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman and CEO out; and Steve Westly, managing partner and founder of the Westly group. The dinner was hosted by tech investor and Board member of Google John Doerr.
What they talked about, in particular, it is clear. Jay Carney of the White House Press Secretary told Reuters that Obama "discussed his proposals to invest in research and development and expand incentives for businesses to grow and hire, along with his goal to double exports in five years to support millions of American jobs."
Carney has added that the Group has also discussed the importance of investment in education.
The San Francisco Chronicle suggests that Obama had a hidden agenda of fundraising campaign, but he can't get too far with some of the tech luminaries in attendance; Although most respondents have donated to Democrats, Obama or any political party did not give a dime Zuckerberg and Costolo.
