Flashback 2011: Austan Goolsbee Runs Secret Skull and Bones Meeting at White House

Flashback. Politico reports:
Late one afternoon on March 4, 2011, eight college students arrived at the White House to meet with President Obama's top economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee. The meeting was never publicized, and the agenda items being discussed remain unknown. But there was one thread that connected everyone present that day: they were all members of Yale's storied, elite secret society, Skull and Bones. The secret society doesn't release the names of its members, referred to as "Bonesmen," but the Ivy League gossip blog IvyGate regularly has the roster leaked to them. Cross-checking their list with the White House visitor log on March 4 reveals that at least eight members of the 2010-2011 class were present at the Goolsbee meeting.
Imagine that.
