WASHINGTON (AP) - An aide to President Barack Obama is on leave from his White House job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office Thursday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said.
The charges were lodged against the two men at a federal court hearing as the FBI finished searching the city's technology office, which was led until recently by Obama's new computer chief, Vivek Kundra.
Kundra is on leave from his White House job until further details of the case become known, according to a White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the official did not want to publicly discuss personnel matters.

"On leave" is where Marxists go when they get busted by the FBI. "In jail" is where you and I go.
The criminals at the helm of this nation are above the law. I thought everybody knew this!

So our White House/Executive Branch guy did NOT know that fraud was going on, right under his nose, in his DC job? And we are going to put THAT guy in charge of firewalls and Internet security for the entire White House??
He is either a crook, or an idiot, or both, don't you think?
Here's the general job description for
Vivek Kundra:
......"Kundra will
oversee government spending on technology and direct technology strategy. He previously served as Washington D.C.s chief technology officer. Vivek Kundra will bring a depth of experience in the technology arena and a commitment to lowering the cost of government operations to this position, Obama said in a statement. I have directed him to work to ensure that we are using the spirit of American innovation and the power of technology to improve performance and lower the cost of government operations.
"Lower the Cost of Operations"???? Lololol. FAIL!!

And that would stimulate the economy at the same time! More buses, more teleprompters. Economic avalanche averted.
Oh, and more /sarc tags definitely need to be ordered!

I saw a good one liner about Obama’s team. They said it was like White House American Idol; the judges keep voting candidates out until only one is left.
To: Girlene
Ah, but it doesn’t say he will lower the cost of operations, just that he will bring a _commitment_ to lowering the cost of government operations. Still laughable.
So much for Yoda— do or do not, there is no try.
Sadly, with the new Health Care provisions in porkulus, lowering the cost of govt. operations takes on a whole new meaning. (No I’m sorry, you aren’t eligible for that surgery— cost of govt. operations lowered, voila!)

Yusuf Acar-—Muslim Turk. WOW — precious.
We give them arms and all kinds of military equipment to kill Christians and now we hire them to infiltrate our nation.
Nice going — who vets these guys?
