Oh to be a fly on the wall at this gathering….

President Obama will dine with Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and a handful of other top Silicon Valley executives at a private dinner at the home of venture capitalist John Doerr. The conversation topics of the evening: American innovation, education and clean energy, and quite a few others, I’m sure, given the guest list.

According to a White House official, other attendees include Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, Cisco CEO John Chambers, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, Stanford president John Hennessy, chairman and former CEO of Genentech Art Levinson, and Westley Group’s managing partner and founder Steve Westly.

Let’s hope the outcome results in actual action vs. more of Obama’s community organizing. I am tired of speeches, meetings, committees, blue ribbon panels, consultants, lobbyists, press conferences, blah, blah, blah … in other words, HOT AIR. We need real and immediate action, common sense measures to resolve the top issues now, primary of which is reducing the size of the federal government, getting the federal government out of the way, providing meaningful incentives to businesses of all sizes to hire, innovate and build for the future.

Joe – below – should be happy with the new Congress. More hot air, more delays – and a stronger commitment to the 19th Century.
