Who’s Visiting Obama?

Nov. 28, 2012 10:30am Guest Post

[Editor’s note: The following is a cross post by Eamon Javers that originally appeared on CNBC.com. You can browse through White House visitor logs on the special section of TheBlaze here.]

Two weeks after his first post election meeting with CEOs, President Barack Obama is bringing another group of chief executives to the executive mansion, and this time it will include one of the highest ranking CEOs on Wall Street: Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs.

The all star group of executives also includes the newly installed CEO of Yahoo!, Marissa Mayer — one of the most closely watched executives in technology.

Many of executives are expected to spend their morning buttonholing members of Congress on Capitol Hill to lay out the dangers of a failure to come to agreement on the “fiscal cliff” deadline looming at the end of the year. They’ll meet with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) before departing for the late afternoon session on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The group meeting with the president tomorrow includes representatives of a wide range of industries, from retail to finance, technology, pharmaceuticals, media and telecommunications. It also includes the top people from some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including Coca-Cola, AT&T, and Marriott.

The meeting comes as financial markets have become increasingly driven by even small pieces of news out of the tax and spending debate in Washington. On Tuesday, remarks by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sent the Dow and the S&P tumbling. Reid said he had seen “little progress” from Republicans on specific concessions they plan to offer to Democrats.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader from Kentucky, complained to reporters that the Democrats prefer to engage in campaign style tactics rather than real negotiations.

In fact, President Obama will travel to Pennsylvania later in the week for a campaign style rally designed to boost popular support for the type of “fiscal cliff” deal he prefers.

Wednesday will be a busy day at the White House. In the morning, the president will meet with a group of middle class Americans who will see their taxes go up if the country goes over the “fiscal cliff.”

Here’s the complete list of CEOs attending the White house meeting Wednesday:

Frank Blake, Chairman and CEO, The Home Depot
Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs Group
Joe Echeverria, CEO, Deloitte LLP
Ken Frazier, President and CEO, Merck and Co.
Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO, Coca Cola
Marissa Mayer, CEO and President, Yahoo!
Douglas Oberhelman, Chairman and CEO, Caterpillar
Brian Roberts, Chairman and CEO, Comcast
Ed Rust, Chairman and CEO, State Farm Insurance Co.
Arne Sorenson, President and CEO, Marriott
Randall Stephenson, Chairman and CEO, AT&T
Patricia Woertz, President and CEO, Archer Daniels Midland

” There is no god but allah” on it?

Obama DECEIVES the people by saying he’s a Christian….but,

Goldman Sachs aka House of Rothchild….is replacing people elected leaders with all of their “people” French leader/Italian leader all Sachs stooges…….your looking at the replacement of elected leaders by the Rothchilds in the US. Obama is one of their creation via Tony Rezko. GOOD NEWS! Brezinski top henchmen to Rothchild declared that the NWO agenda is having “setbacks” via grassroots opposition. See hear the interview on infowars.com. GOOD WORK Patriots around the world!!!
FREEDOM is the operative word for the 21st century NOT WARS OR POVERTY that the Rothchilds and their ilk can get richer off of. Rothchilds own 80% of the worlds wealth!! think about it. NO we are taking it back and giving it back to whom it belongs. YUP REDISTRIBUTION of rescources, back to the countries/people it belongs to. NO FRACTIONAL banking. UP yours not paying back a dime!! Uniforms pick your sides well: FREEDOM or TYRANNY.
