A guy who's never even run a hot dog cart is having a meeting with highly successful major business executives. Let me guess: He will be doing most of the talking.
who will have the balls to tell him the truth about why they can’t hire more folks?
I’m sure he’ll squeeze in a $20k per plate fundraiser while he’s there.
It is not a matter of can’t. The problem the gov needs to address is to make it more beneficial for companies to hire here instead of India and China.
Obamma to hit bay area. Well, they got half the headline correct.
Will their anybody there with the wisdom and courage to say laissez-nous faire? Laissez faire!!!!!
According to historical legend, the phrase stems from a meeting in about 1680 between the powerful French finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen led by a certain M. Le Gendre. When the eager mercantilist minister asked how the French state could be of service to the merchants and help promote their commerce, Le Gendre replied simply “Laissez-nous faire” (”Leave us be”, lit. “Let us do”).
We all know why Obummer is "Hitting" the Bay Area. Folsom St. must be gearing up again.
In todays SF Gate:
Tim Lincecum (baseball star) isn’t the only local celebrity sprouting new facial hair.
Oakland City Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan - the city’s leading lesbian politico - has begun sporting a goatee and mustache.
Obama will just go to Silicon Valley and complain we are not importing enough Indians and illegals to replace American workers.
That is the only jobs policy he has had so far.
Yet another junket for Obama, to continue to avoid doing any real work in Washington. Kick back on a cross-country flight on AF1, gladhand a bunch of hand-picked lefty executives like the Google guys, maybe get in a round of golf, do a little fund-raising, and then kick back on the return trip. Bet the guy doesn’t do more than 15 minutes of actual work on these trips.
“Ah want you folks out there inventing stuff!”
Vacation time.
Yuck.
Oakland City Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan
Will there be more fundraising squeezed in?
You'd think in 2011 he'd be able to save the cost of a trip and try GoToMeeting.
Looks like the wet bar will be open on his latest Royal FRequent Flyer Visit to the Land of Loot&Booty.

He’s right.
What he didn’t touch on was the surfeit of H-1B workers that the industry keeps clamoring for, claiming that US workers aren’t “smart” enough.
