After a dinner in San Francisco with 12 of the entrepreneurs who control the market of Internet technologies, the U.S. president, Barack Obama, continues today with a visit to the mecca of U.S. computer. Travel to Oregon to visit a plant of chipmaker Intel. There is planning to offer Paul Otellini, CEO of the company, a seat on its Council on Employment and Competitiveness, which advises on labor policies.

Is this being a real state visit to those companies that control the Internet business in the world. In yesterday's dinner at the home of John Doerr, a prominent Democratic donor, a personal friend of Al Gore, Obama chatted at length with those men and two women, one of them, wife of Doer-directing the most influential companies on the World Wide Web: Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Steve Schmidt, Google, Steve Jobs, Apple, and Carol Bartz, Yahoo, among others.

Little has said that White House meeting, except that the president sought the advice and offered help to keep the U.S. as a global leader in Internet companies. In a photo released by the U.S. government is giving Obama, sitting between Jobs, Apple, which briefly gave his retirement from business life, imposed by a disease, and Zuckerberg, Facebook's boss.

This change, for once, your hooded classic to wear a jacket and shirt. At the dinner were representatives of other companies, emerging giants such as Netflix or Twitter, and major absences: one represented Microsoft. On the other education attended by President of the University of Stanford, John nessy.

At the dinner was also discussed education and research and development. Silicon Valley, where the largest Internet companies, is and has been a solid Democratic stronghold.
