postheadericon Two former presidents, Vogue editor to attend State Dinner

Two former presidents, CEOs of some of the biggest American banks, and the editor of Vogue magazine are some of the roughly 200 some names on the guestlist for the State Dinner at the White House Wednesday.

Democratic former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton as well as Goldman Sachs head Lloyd Blankfein, JPMorgan Chase executive Jamie Dimon, singer Barbara Streisand, fashion designer Vera Wang, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, and Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour are all on the guestlist for tonight's State Dinner. 

Only a few members of the guestlist are Republicans: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and Ambassador Jon Huntsman.

The dinner is in honor of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to the White House. President Obama and President Hu fielded questions from reporters on issues such as trade and human rights in a joint press conference.
