Gates, Buffett Meet With Obama

I thought Halloween was over, but apparently not:

It’s billionaires day at the White House.

President Obama met with Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates in the Oval Office on Tuesday to talk about philanthropy and the stuttering economy, an event that wasn’t on Obama’s official schedule.

“The President invited the Gates and Buffett to the White House to discuss ‘The Giving Pledge,’ the initiative they launched earlier this year that invites the wealthiest individuals and families in America to commit to giving the majority of their wealth to philanthropy,” a White House official said in an e-mail to reporters. “During the visit, they also discussed ideas for growing the economy and making America more competitive including investment in education to better prepare the next generation and investing in innovative areas with opportunity for growth.”
Let me translate for you - Obama invited Gates and Buffett for some teacher-bashing.

And they obliged.

  2. And the arrogance of them is astounding. Obama really thinks he knows better than everybody else how to run stuff. Gates thinks he really knows better than everybody else how to do ed policy. Meanwhile unemployment is at 9.8% (heckuva job, Barack!) and the words "Windows Millenium" and "Windows Vista" ought to be enough to give anyone pause over Gates' expertise on anything.
