Noticeably absent from yesterday’s meeting were CEOs from Caterpillar, John Deere, and ConocoPhillips. All of those companies withdrew from USCAP within the last year.

John Doerr from the Silicon-Valley venture capitalist firm Kleiner Perkins was also in attendance. But as the Daily Caller previously reported, Doerr has successfully lobbied the Obama Administration the last two years for policies supporting green initiatives that support companies he has major financial stakes in.

Doerr, whose business partners include former Vice President Al Gore, depends on government policies for the success of the start-up firms focused on green technology that he has invested in. the mutually-beneficial relationship prompted one energy scholar to tell theDC recently, “they’re co-dependent and loving it!”

“Obama’s CEO Summit was pure propaganda,” Tom Borelli of the Free Enterprise Project told theDC. “The meeting was billed as an effort to mend tensions between the business community and the president when in reality many of the CEO attendees are acting as an arm of the Obama Administration.”

He continued: “The meeting was not to establish relationships but a rally to keep CEOs pushing for the Obama’s radial policy agenda.”
