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.

Never fear. This guy is going to be Obama’s chief security guard watching over the federal data systems. Great idea!

AITC has been working with the D.C. government since 2004. Once Kundra took over as D.C. Chief Technology Officer in March 2007, AITC’s contracts doubled to more than $5 million in 2008.

Hello?

Supposedly Congress and the Odumbo admin have high approval ratings.

I suppose they do qualify if you are rating criminals.

"On leave?!?!?! What the hell does that mean?"

It means that Axelrod is still stumped for a good punchline for the Idiot's speech when he fires him.

It goes without saying that—other than seeing, hearing and knowing nothing—this man is the brightest person (after Onada) in the current usurper administration.

Wow corruption this quick? Typically this stuff doesn’t happen until someone is in the job for a long while and thinks they know they can’t get caught. This guy must be just like the annoited one and didn’t want to lose anytime screwing over America.
