Who Would Want To Be Obama's Cybersecurity Czar?
dasButcher writes "President Obama is expected to name a new cybersecurity czar sometime soon. This person will be charged with defending the digital boards from attack by hostile nation-states and terrorist organizations. But the question Larry Walsh asks is: Who really wants the job? The previous three people who held the post barely made a dent in solving the security problems. Government bureaucracy and private sector resistance make it nearly impossible to find any measure of meaningful success in this job, he writes."

Don't be self-limiting. There are several members of the Obama administration who aren't tax cheats.
Heh, I take it you don't watch American news, at least you haven't at any time during the past ten years. Remember the American invasion of Iraq? The destruction of Katrina?
Etc. - my point being that, during that time, pretty much everyone in the Bush presidency got a free ride....
Are you really trying to say that there's been no attempt to blame Bush for Katrina and Iraq?
What universe have you been living in, you mouth-breathing moron?
Because I want to know where you could have possibly been were there hasn't been overwhelming coverage of those events.
You probably really do think it's Bush's fault that a massive fucking hurricane waxed a city built below sea level right on the water in the most hurricane-prone area of the entire damn planet.
That makes you a shining beacon of hope for every brainless shithead on the planet. The fact that such an unthinking jackass like yourself can actually figure out how to use a computer to make your fantasy-based post must mean that even an anencephalic rhesus monkey could one day be a billionaire.
Thank you for showing anencephalic rhesus monkeys that even they have hope.
As for the "out-for-blood nature" of the coverage Obama's getting, please tell us how many major news outlets are going to run with these:
In which the president discovers an American intelligence agency at Five Guys
Yep, that's right - the oh-so-well-prepared and oh-so-fucking-smart Obama had never heard of these guys before going into a burger joint.
Career lawyers overruled on voting case
Justice Department political appointees overruled career lawyers and ended a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day
Think that's going to be above the fold on tomorrow's NY Times and Washington Post, or featured on NBC, CBS, or CNN?
The sad thing is, you probably really do think you're smart. But then again, most morons don't know they're morons.
