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.

I have a question for the forum:

How many terrorists do you know?
How many tax dodgers do you know?
How many accused criminals do you make real estate deals with?
If you hire employees, how many in the past year have turned out to have shady backgrounds?
How many people do you know that have had their home, office, even office building raided by the FBI? DEA? INS? Sheriff? Police? in the past 2 years.

Guess what, 0bambi has all of the above.

Just saying.....

Obama hires someone that is not a tax cheat or a lobbyist and not this?

to face down the chair-warmers at the IRS or FBI and other federal agencies with histories of serial IT disasters?

Funny you mention that. These, and other similar IT disasters can be directly attributed to the wonderful combination of unqualified Affirmative Action management and the corrupt practice of outsourcing to recruiting firms for technical staffing.

Elect a thug -— he hires thugs...

What the hell did the dumb ass voters expect...

Surely - they didn’t expect a virgin to come out of the Chicago political and black racist Whorehouse — did they?

Obama — bringing Detroit style politics to Washington, D.C., with a Chicago flavor...

Lord help us.

Perhaps Obama will FINALLY seal the fate of inept, inexperienced, corrupt and race card dealing black politicians........hopefully before the stupid ^$%#^%$# destroy the Republic.

If it were a movie, it would be so incredible that no one would be able to watch it without laughing.

"Did I forget to mention that H1B’s are the scourge of US Technology professionals? They have no loyalty to the USA..."

The USA has very few remaining industries where we dominate. IT / software is one of the last. We spend tons of money to train H1B's, they mostly create crap software, and their government subsidizes their local industry to take our jobs away. Make no mistake - they don't want to "partner" with us - they want to take away the industry from us.

I watched this at Texas Instruments - the inventor of the semiconductor. TI built packaging facilities (putting the chips into their chip carrier) in Japan, Taiwan, The Philippines, and Singapore. TI paid Japan to learn their semiconductor technologies and industry, to save a few bucks in the labor side of the process.

In 1984, TI was the largest commercial SC manufacturer. By 1986, they were #5 - behind 3 Japanese companies and Motorola. They gave away their intellectual capital to a determined foe (the proverbial giving your enemy the rope so they can hang you). TI recouped some monies back in patent infringement, but they lost the multi-billion dollar market.

We just never learn! :-(

Another case of the bonus plan encouraging execs to prostitute themselves and destroy the long term value and competitive advantage of their charge, their company.

Amazing how dumb boards are that allow this stuff. The board at the last company I was involved with didn’t have the foggiest idea what was going on. A bad recipe.
