When top White House officials want to know what Google executives are thinking, they don't need to go near a computer – since company officials have been hovering at the White House about once a week through the course of the Obama administration, White House logs reveal.

The tech giant's top lobbyist, Johanna Shelton, has visited the White House a total of 128 times since President Obama got elected in 2009.

Shelton visited the White House more than any top 50 lobbying firm, according to White House visitor logs analyzed by a nonprofit called the Google Transparency Project that is critical of the company's influence.

Shelton met four times with President Obama himself, clocking more White House face time than any other industry lobbyist, Watchdog.org reported.

According the data, she visited more than the lobbyists for five other tech giants combined. In fact, she visited the White House 40 percent more often than her second and third place rivals, lobbyists for Blue Cross / Blue Shield and Exxon/Mobil.

Among the top officials she met with are longtime Obama pal and senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, chair of the council of economic advisors Jason Furman, and National Economic Council director Gene Sperling.

In total, Google officials have visited the White House 427 times since 2009, according to a report in Watchdog.org that looked at the data. They have attended a total of 363 meetings.

The meetings involved 169 Google employees and 182 White House officials.

Unsurprisingly, many of the meetings coincided with times when Google was facing regulatory challenges, such as when the Federal Trade Commission was looking at whether the company had engaged in any antitrust violations. Google has also clashed with the administration at times over privacy issues.

When Obama dined with top tech leaders in Silicon valley 2012, Google exec Eric Schmidt sat at the head of the table, along with a major Google investor.

Schmidt advised Obama during both of his election campaigns and was appointed to a seat on Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology before he stepped down as Google's CEO.

He attended a White House State Dinner with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011.

In 2014, when Obama met with tech bigs concerned about NSA snooping, Schmidt attended a meeting organized by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.

The transparency project identified 22 former White House officials who went to work for Google, and 31 Google execs who joined the White House or advisory boards.

Some of the visits were for educational projects like a White House science fair.

Shelton, the google lobbyists, was previously a lawyer for the House Energy and Commerce Committee, as well as Democratic Rep. Rick Boucher of Virginia.

The Federal Trade Commission announced in early 2013 that Google had agreed to 'change some of its business practices' as part of a settlement to avoid enforcement action. The settlement was to avoid 'concerns that those practices could stifle competition int he markets for popular devices such as smart phones, tablets, and gaming consoles, as well as the market for online search advertising.'

The influence goes both ways: some former White House officials work for Google

Google didn't respond to an immediate request for comment, but a company blog post responding to an earlier Wall Street Journal report – when official Google visits were still in the 200s – said: 'Of course we’ve had many meetings at the White House over the years.'

The post went on to note that competitors such as Microsoft also had many visits.

'And the meetings we did have were not to discuss the antitrust investigation. In fact, we seem to have discussed everything but, including patent reform, STEM education, self-driving cars, mental health, advertising, Internet censorship, smart contact lenses, civic innovation, R&D, cloud computing, trade and investment, cyber security, energy efficiency and our workplace benefit policies.'

Google officials were also on hand when for YouTube interviews with the president and to photograph the White House art collection.

The Google Transparency Project is a nonprofit run by the Campaign for Accountability. It declined to disclose its donors to DailyMail.com, and it's IRS forms are not yet available for viewing. An officials said the project was a project of the Hopewell Fund, and didn't disclose whether any Google competitors had contributed.
