Apple CEO Steve Jobs met with US President Barack Obama alongside other tech leaders such as Google's Eric Schmidt and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg last night, as scheduled. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said:
“The president specifically discussed his proposals to invest in research and development and expand incentives for companies to grow and hire.”
Any guesses what the cheers was for?

So much money at that table. I hope they tipped well.
They didn't need too. That's at one of those guys house. It was on the news here.
At least Steve put a jacket on to meet the president. I hope he didn't have his 20 year old jeans on with it.
So i missed the memo that foxconn moved to the states and are providing jobs?
Hehe, exactly...
Rightous burn!
Steve: Eric Eric: Steve stares
Fail.
Optics.
The cheers probably happened after Barack said: "Gentlemen, let's take over the world."
"thank God for the Chinese"
pause... Everyone looks around, confused Somebody: "Wait, I thought we were doing that already."
Can somebody name who is sitting on the table from left to right.
I'll try. Left to Right starting with Barack, Steve Jobs, Ceo of Cisco (John Chambers maybe), No Face Lady (Sorry), Eric Schmidt, SunnyVale Internet (Peter Blackmore), Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (not sure but John Doerr), Ceo of Oracle (Lawrence Ellison), Netflix (Reed Hastings), CEO of Intel (Paul Otellini he's supposed to be there not sure if this is him), CEO of Yahoo (Carol Bartz, New Twitter CEO (Dick Costolo), Can't see, CEO of Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg). Less Cluttered by business President, Apple, Cisco, ????, Google, Sunnyvale Internet, Kliener Perkins, Oracle, Netflix, Intel, Yahoo, Twitter, ????, Facebook http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci17415024?source=rssemailed&nclick_check=1 (bottom of the link)
Note the Schmidt - Jobs buffer! Love it!
In all seriousness this is pretty smart of Obama. The tech sector is one of a few sectors where the United States is still a leader, and these guys are some of the smartest and most innovative people in the world. Very smart move, indeed.
Loony cool aide drinker I see
Im third from the left facing the president. I don't know those other poor renegade b**tards.
They're discussing how to integrate RFID chips with information from Facebook..it's up to Apple to integrate the chips with nueral technology to create computers that literally are in our heads..and it's gonna be up to Google to present it nicely to the public as the New Age of Aquarius approaches.
...at least that's what I think
CHEERS! ;D
"Here's to a beautiful Ballmer-less night!"
Ballmer's under the table and his head will poke up under the salad bowl occasionally.
I dislike Obama's policies, but I'm glad to see this meeting.
So Many Questions: 1)Why isn't Larry Page here?(unless he is next to Zuckerberg) 2)But Eric Schmidt, why, did he get ousted (sorta)? 3)And Carol Bartz? Obama does know Yahoo is in serious trouble? Well I guess it is the Government who expects them to be up-to-date.
The Not Caption: As Obama sits around the table with leaders of tech industry he asks, "Can a person with an Associate Degree get one of those high paying jobs? Your margins are high enough to afford it." Before Carol Bartz could respond with a "F#%k You" Steve Jobs interrupts asking Zuckerberg to "pass the liver".
the toast went like this... "Hail Ceasar"
So. Steve Jobs has only 7 weeks of life? Or this is a speculation?
Blasphemy
He looks virtually the same as always! Those reports on 6 weeks to live are wack!
"...so help me kick off my 2012 re-election campaign by donating a good chunk of that tax cut for the wealthy that I renewed for you."

Yes, Steve looks pretty much the same in that picture (maybe a little more filled out in the face actually).
Odd... They already had coffee, and mist glasses are empty, some have water in it.
Would it be the cheap credo of "yes we can" or "God bless Emerica"
Well, it IS Obama - he would defiantly refuse to compliment AMERICA - Emerica sounds about right.
Illuminati?
Too small table...
