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.

That does have a nice, academic, almost genteel sound to it...merely on leave. AP, what a joke.

Vivek Kundra, Chief Technology Officer, Government of the District of Columbia explains how he got his start in wireless and highlights the importance of meeting the interoperability challenge.
in their own minds, they are legends - in the real world, the latest poll has over 50% giving Obummer an F in performance; congress approval is even lower.

Agree — hate to admit it, but I do agree. I hope slick stays close, shadowing this fauxBama creature — as bad as both Clintons are — and they ARE bad — they are Americans first and probably did not foresee turning the country over to foreign criminals...as if we don’t have enough of our own home-grown criminals already.

No “Change” in the forecast...
Sooner or later, Obama may have to run one of his problem children over accidentally several times to keep them from talking to prosecutors. So far the Obama administration smells worse than Clinton did.
ring, ring, "Hello, this is Vivek resident obama."
"Hey Vivek, U can use my old passport to get out of the country. I no longer need it anyway. The name that is on it no one will ever know it was mine either. "
Not the Aide he once knew?
Sounds like the crew of a Romulan warship has crossed the Neutral Zone.

I think Pelosi put plastic surgery in the stimulus for skid marks on her face already.
I’m waiting to hear that, as a show of good faith, our computer systems security has been outsourced to Iran.

With his staggering federal IT budget, Vivek Kundra needs to address these six crucial questions.
Follow-up to Question #2: “If your boss is not President Obama, then how sharp are your elbows?” As you attempt to get all the deeply entrenched Washington institutions to follow your IT vision, and as conflicts arise as they most surely will, what if those “auspices” under which or whom you operate lack the clout to face down the chair-warmers at the IRS or FBI and other federal agencies with histories of serial IT disasters? What leverage do you have? Whose authority will allow you to steamroll the decision-makers (well, status-quo-preservers) who have somehow found ways to devour $200 million of taxpayer money every single day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?
