What Will Steve Jobs Say To Barack Obama At Today’s Meeting?

Steve Jobs last had a chat with President Barack Obama in October 2010 when they discussed ‘technology innovation and the US economy’ amongst other things.

Life has moved on quite a bit since then, although the mythical white iPhone 4 still has not appeared, as many thought it would following the previous meeting. Gizmodo have even reported that Jobs only has 6 weeks left to live having reportedly been spotted at the Stanford Cancer Clinic in Palo Alto, Calif and looking ‘increasingly emaciated’, will they discuss his health and the future?

Jobs won’t be alone with the president, Eric Schmidt, the present Chief Executive from Google will be there as well as Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.

Obama has long been a fan of Jobs and cited him in December 2010 as an ‘impressive example of the American Dream’.
