Federal CIO Kundra Takes Leave of Absence After Woes
CWmike writes "The fallout from Thursday's arrests of a District of Columbia IT security official and contractor quickly raised questions about the fate of Vivek Kundra, the new federal CIO who until recently ran the office now mired in bribery allegations. Appointed by President Barack Obama as CIO less than two weeks ago, Kundra was CTO for the District of Columbia. But yesterday, Kundra's former office in a downtown government building was a crime scene. A White House official, speaking on background, confirmed today that Kundra took a leave of absence from his new CIO job shortly after federal investigators arrested two men in the DC government office on bribery charges. The official would not elaborate on the reasons for the leave; there were no indications yesterday that Kundra was involved in any wrongdoing. Kundra's decision could slow his plan to create a 'revolution' in the federal government's use of technology."
Please add the media and the corporations.
The blogosphere is eating up "the salesman" (buy buy buy: Cramer) vs. "the senior citizen" (Steward: over analyze and whine, and get off my lawn!) mess with the apology Cramer gave yesterday, which in some sense didn't make sense (I doubt we'll see Steward on MadMoney).
