I think they didn't have any pictures of the people being interviewed so they used a stock photo of Rahm Emanuel, who is a MAJOR player in the US business industry.
Ah, interesting.
Good to see that he is reaching out to these leaders.
Yes and no.
It is good to research the true state of the nation and some various ideas of what can be done to improve them, but part of our problem is directly and indirectly caused by some of these very same "leaders."
Yes, Warren Buffett and others are more informed and aware of the issues, but when have they done anything that didn't benefit them directly.
Who here voted for a random spike in credit card interest and reduction in credit ratings or backing corporate bankruptcy with our taxes? I know I didn't.
Most of these "leaders" could pay off a huge chunk of our national debt that they themselves created, but they want us to pay it all because it benefits them directly.
If these "leaders" aren't part of the solution, then they are part of the problem and shouldn't be called leaders.
I'm going to cry if he doesn't visit the rest of the world because come next election, he's going to change the law to run for a third term to finish vacationing. That'll be the only 'change' he ever made!
The Obamas Vacation List
March 19, 2012, The elder daughter, is spending her springbreak in Mexican city of Oaxaca in the company of 12 friends, Malia Ann Obama, are staying at a downto....

As oppose to someone like Mitt right
Ah, you must be one of the 1% who would benefit from a Romney administration.
I'm glad Obama is willing to reach out and learn from others. A great leader can't operate in a vacuum.
Funny how the only time Obama isn't on vacation was during the campaign to get re-elected
Read: "Obama meets with Tim Cook and other CEOs to get advice on the critical state of this country, because Obama has no idea what he's doing."
Obama is such a joke. I still can't believe how ignorant our nation is as a whole to have elected him to a second term.
This post is so far off topic it's absolutely asinine. We've seen vacation lists for other presidents too. It's easy to be irritated by them. That's an issue in itself. It's always possible to cap how much they are granted for personal expenses. This isn't the thread for it. Go make one out of your post if you want to focus solely on that.
But it's never been made so public on the Internet and TV. Maybe because citizens felt with other presidents, it was justified. You did a job well done, etc..
How do Steve jobs followers feel about Jobs openly disliking Obama and saying he was headed towards a one-term?
Just like the death of those sub-9.7" tablets that are DOA upon arrival.

I never said I supported Mitt. Please don't put words in my mouth. I'm a libertarian.
That said, Romney would have run the country more like a business instead of a humanitarian society, which is what needs to happen. This made him the better option. He wasn't the optimal candidate, but I think he understood that the government is too big, and doesn't do a good job at running things.
We're on the highway to Greece people. The government isn't the answer. They're the cause.
Well, I didn't bother reading your list, but I'm sure you could create a list like this for any president that has been elected. My comment is not meant to be a for/against Obama, just stating that these lists are BS. All one sided, no Pro/Con effort put into it.

This fiscal cliff was arrived at an accelerated pace due to obama's needless spending.
I wonder if well get an update as to what O and these CE-O's discussed specifically..
If you don't like Obama, you should back up your argument with facts.
Tim: Mr. President, we would really love for you to lower the corporate tax rate so we can bring a big chunk of our $100 billion back to the USA.
Obama: No! More taxes! We like to spend spend spend!

Mitt is amazing. He has lived the dream of most Americans, at least financially, and a good life in general and wants to benefit EVERYONE (not only the poor). I still can't comprehend how America passed on the opportunity to have someone as great as this lead our country and instead chose a low productivity, former community organizer that is so shady that he won't even release his college record (whereas Mitt has been an open book cause he has nothing to hide).
I'm one of the 99% and I'm positive that my expenses have/are going up as a result of Obama being president...Once again, lack of understanding here.
Obama rarely opens up to other opposing views on policy, which is why this particular meeting with CEO's has got so much press because he needs to have people think he's doing something useful.
Haha, my favorite quote of the debates is when he said, "I spend every day working to solve the economy" ....except Monday through Thursday's when I'm out golfing, is what he meant to say. My gosh, even my friends who consider themselves "frequent golfers" do not golf as much as this president, notwithstanding all the other vacations he takes on Airforce 1.
If he was truly concerned about all you "99%" people, he would do something even as simple as forgoing golfing as giving all that money he spends on that, to people without jobs as a result of his lack (or Bush's, whoever you want to blame) of keeping his promises.
I hope people are civil in the comments.
Wishful thinking
So here is a civil question for all: why is that Chicago mafia idiot (Rahm Emanuel) shown in the picture with the POTUS? Is he a CEO now?
Civil?
Try again.
