Who's this guy?

I was on a flight with this guy. Do you know who he is?
I was on a flight Sunday morning from LA to Detroit and this gentleman was sitting up in business class with me.
He seemed, for lack of a better word, important. He was dressed sort of luxuriously, for one thing - I noted a gold watch and that the cuffs of his shirt were monogrammed with what I assume were his initials ("CEB" - I think). But aside from that, he just seemed to project a certain aura of power. Also, at several points both while waiting at the gate and while on the plane people came up to him and introduced themselves and shook his hand.
While playing detective, I overheard one person say something like, "Hey, you probably don't remember, but I met you once when you introduced President Obama at a prayer breakfast in Ohio." Or something like that.
While grabbing my carry-on I slipped out my cellphone and slyly captured the above shot. I just kind of want to know who it was. No real reason why save my own curiosity. Any ideas?

If it was a horrible faus-paux and this is a bad idea then please, delete, delete, delete. I don't want to start shit. I was just curious.
