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."
Exactly.
He should not be Swift-Boated for the actions of others.
Follow the money.
Sig Battery depleted. Reverting to safe mode.
I think you mean "Allah bless our dear leader Barak Hussein Obama, peace be upon him."
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Don't forget:
5) Waste the Secretary of State job as a consolation prize to mollify some lying, race-baiting, sniveling loser's fan clup instead of appointing a career diplomat who can actually gain the respect of foreign leaders.
I will give credit where credit is due, though. At least Obama postponed a Hillary Clinton administration for a minimum of four years, and he may have prevented it altogether.

Wow... the bushiites are still in control of the judicial power.
This same level of stunning ignorance about the actual structure of the government and its various agencies - the sort of fantastic miscomprehensions held by most Obama supporters - is why he got elected. And when all of the things he and his chosen administration are already doing wrong compound to make several more spectacular messes, the very same voters who don't even know who the FBI are and what they do will find a way to make sure they don't blame Obama for his own actions. Because that would make them uncomfortable about having so idiotically voted him in in the first place. After a few years, though, the buyer's remorse will really kick in - even among those who don't actually understand how the government works.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Right, because the honest, unbiased reporting by the MSM, the constant barrage of attacks, and those quick-witted funny boys at Comedy Central had nothing to do with that perception, right? Or the fact that they conditioned 90% of /. to shun free discussion so much that they downmod anything positive about Bush or critical of liberals (not to mention the real-life analogs). Or maybe the fact that it's so engrained that people are still bringing up Bush to deflect criticism of Obama?
You guys were programmed. You were brainwashed, and it was done so skillfully that you still don't know it happened. Don't believe me? Watch how many robots mod nonsense about Bush/conservatives as Funny or Insightful as long as it's a "bon mot" -- even if it's trite, patently false, or nonsensical. Then watch as reasoned discussions are rated troll, flamebait, or overrated because they espouse conservative or libertarian ideals.
When you see it, ask yourself how it is that people will so willingly suppress reasoned discussion while promoting tired old platitudes. That's not intelligent, that's salivating when you hear a bell.
