Hey! Who’s that raising a shot glass right next to the leader of the free world? Yes, it’s our beloved Wilson Sonsini CEO turned Japanese ambassador, John Roos raising a toast to what we can only guess is a lasting peace with the Japanese, to be forever enshrined in the history books as the "Sake Summit." Or he could be toasting to the fact that he doesn’t have to deal with partner compensation at Wilson Sonsini this year

We see Roos as literally Obama’s right-hand man thanks to the official White House page. You see the only photo, and the White House caption, above, but you’ll find the entire Nov. 13 entry in the ongoing series, “What Obama Does All Day,” in this set (the above photo is No. 6).
