Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the like-sanitation-director-only-you-do-less dept.

Trailrunner7 writes to tell us that US cybersecurity czar Howard Schmidt recently gave an interview where he discusses his career and what he sees as the priorities of the positions. "Howard Schmidt has been involved in just about every aspect of the security industry during his career. After stints in the Air Force and at Microsoft, he served as a cybersecurity advisor to George W. Bush. Now, after heading back to the private sector for several years, he's been appointed to serve as President Obama's security advisor."

    Checking the Washington TerrorBall League scores, Cyberspace Security went undefeated during the Bush administration so it's logical that this guy didn't get cut from the team. Bush had an overall losing record, even as today's teabaggers are still protesting the scores, but that's why he had to go.
