directs the policy and strategic planning of federal information technology investments and is responsible for oversight of federal technology spending

That does sound like the level of post that needs to be confirmed. I also heard this guy is in love with Google, and even pimps for them, so we can't expect much of a neutral policy. Obama might have to write up yet another ethics policy waiver for this guy.

BTW, do you have any idea what percentage of Obama's picks required waivers from his supposed ethics policy? I'd love to know that number.

I would be really interested in seeing that..

Yes obviously it NEEDS to be confirmed, but there's no evidence yet it's actually going to be required that I've seen.

That's one of his supposed claims to fame, he moved a lot of government data up to Google's servers "in the cloud" to save money, as if Google servers are a safe place for government data. Considering how much Google invested in Obama's campaign they probably plan on moving a whole lot more.
