Obama meets with Silicon Valley tech elite

By John Boudreau

Amid a struggling economy and high unemployment, President Barack Obama was scheduled to meet Thursday night with a small, elite group of Silicon Valley business leaders to sound them out on his economic policies.

The president was expected to touch down at San Francisco International Airport shortly before 6 p.m. and to meet with 12 tech executives at a private dinner at the Woodside home of Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr. Those invited included Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Gabrielle Giffords D-AZ) and Representative Ed Pastor (D-AZ) as he signs the John M. Roll United States Courthouse Bill in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, February 17, 2011.
