U.S. President Barack Obama (3R) and Vice President Joe Biden meet with executives from leading technology companies, including Apple, Twitter, and Google in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on December 17, 2913 in Washington, DC. The White House said the meeting focused on efforts to repair administration's troubled HealthCare.gov website.

President Obama is currently meeting with 15 of the nation's top technology chiefs. Topic number one is the long suffering website healthcare.gov.

But, there will be no getting around another big tech topic: surveillance. Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that the NSA's program likely violates the 4th amendment.

To get a sense what a fly of the wall might glean from the gathering we turn to Tony Romm, the technology reporter for Politico.
