Pool Report #2
President Obama met with credit card industry officials in the Roosevelt
Room. You have a list of who was at the table, with Geithner to Obama's
right in the middle of the table and Jarrett to his left. At either end
were Summers and Romer. Also in the room seated behind Obama were Chief
of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Gene Sperling, who serves as counselor to
Geithner. You will soon have Obama's remarks or can see them on TV.
One thing to note is that Summers appeared to be nodding off near the
beginning of Obama's remarks. And then he DID nod off, doing the head on
the hand and then head falling off the hand thing. Photogs seemed to be
having a field day. All other officials in the room appeared fully
awake.
