President Obama was visiting Silicon Valley to attend a $30,000 a plate fund raiser for the Democratic Party that was held at the home of newly minted Google executive Marissa Mayer later on Thursday. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the event was being attended by 50 wealthy democrats (Mr. Jobs was not reported to be among them).
Mr. Jobs has, however, donated to the Democratic Party in the past, having donated $50,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 2000 and $26,700 to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006. Bloomberg also noted that Mr. Jobs donated $1,000 to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel when Emanuel was running for the U.S. House in 2004.
