``The president will participate in a panel to discuss his American Competitiveness Initiative to encourage American innovation and strengthen our nation's ability to compete in the global economy,'' White House press officer Alex Conant told the Mercury News. Conant, however, declined to say where in San Jose the event would be held or if it would be open to the public.
Many of Silicon Valley's leading policy and technology groups contacted Thursday said they were unaware of the president's visit -- or any planned event on the multibillion-dollar initiative -- raising questions as to whether the event was already planned or if the administration had yet to organize it.
The White House also may be keeping specific details under wraps for security reasons or to help prevent large demonstrations in the Bay Area, where the president is unpopular.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told reporters Wednesday that he hoped to have a ``wide ranging'' meeting with Bush on immigration and flood protection during his visit. That would most likely occur Saturday when Bush travels to the California Fuel Cell Partnership, a hydrogen power collaborative, in West Sacramento. Late Thursday, however, both sides said a meeting between the two had not yet been worked out.
``It's important that the president of the United States visits California because the state's critical issues should be high on his agenda,'' said Schwarzenegger press secretary Margita Thompson.

Saint Hoser ping
Maybe Ill show him around a little. He could commute to work with me and see the sea of illegals that cant drive. Then we could pass the two HomeDepots where there are 300 illegals spilling out into the streets..or the neighborhoods littered to death that look like tijuana or...well theres just a lot of darn good things to see for a pro - illegal immigration President.
Sweet. I love seeing AF1 land at Moffett Field.
I always go and watch it when it comes to Albuquerque, you can get almost under the flight path when it's only about 200 feet up. (Yes, there's tons of security)

It's a sweet bird.
I like the motorcade too. Sucks cause it always screws up traffic on 101, 237 and 85, but, it's momentary.
Ping me when there are details?
Strangely enough I've lived on the flight paths for both these airports. I recall having evil thoughts when slick willie was flying overhead to LANL in Marine 1.
Every once in awhile Moffett gets some fighter jets flying in or out of there. I also jump up like a little kid and go run outside to look for them. A B-52 landed there once too. Wow, what a sight those are in person.
I really enjoyed my trips to San Jose. Lovely city.
Take him by OSH as well. ;-)
arggg..
I have a few good school to take him to where neighborhood English speaking Americans can't really go to school there because they primarily teach in Spanish, and the district won't let the neighborhood kids transfer to a school where they actually teach in English.
That's supposed to read (I have a school)
Very nice place,
my sister live in San Jose,
but I've been away so long,
I might just lose my way . .
Honda is a disgrace...how could a Representative vote against a resolution like that? Shameful.
