Apple's Tim Cook, Lisa Jackson placed at head table for White House state dinner: ""

I’m glad Tim Cook and Lisa Jackson went to the State Dinner. I don’t imagine they discussed too much business while they dined. I’m sure someone commented on the new iPhones. 

As for any questions about Tim’s sexuality, let’s face it, folks. Plenty of heterosexual couples who otherwise loathed each other have gone to these affairs just so they could have a picture of themselves snapped with the President and First Lady. I assume Tim and Lisa like each other at least as business associates. 

They are an attractive couple, the public face of Apple at least for that night.

And I’m sure the White House has invited Jonny Ivey when the Queen or British Prime Minister was in Washington. 

It’s quite a change from 50 years ago. Back then, it would have been the head of US Steel or some big oil company who got to sit at the President’s table. Now the biggest deal in American business is a company that started making personal computers, has morphed into a powerhouse smart phone company, and may end up making cars!
