White House technology policy adviser, Susan Crawford will leave her position in January to return to the University of Michigan Law School where she is a tenured professor, according to the Obama administration.
Crawford, known as a proponent of controversial net neutrality rules, has been on temporary leave from the university to serve in the White House. That sabbatical, which began two months after she received tenure at the University of Michigan, will end in January.
“Susan has done an outstanding job coordinating technology policy at the National Economic Council where her expertise on issues from intellectual property to the Internet has been invaluable," said a White House spokesman. "We understand that she needs to return to her responsibilities in Ann Arbor, but we will miss having her wise counsel in the White House.”
Crawford has served as a technology policy coordinator for President Obama on the National Economic Council headed by Lawrence H. Summers. In that role she has been President Obama's adviser on the development of broadband Internet networks and a net neutrality policy. She has written extensively about net neutrality in her personal blog.

One Republican bailed out on Obama
Still a turncoat in the cabinet
Reading the handwriting on the wall?
According to her blog, she was founder of OneWebDay, an organization dedicated to solving the digital divide. One of the participating organizations is ACORN.

Forgot who the Republican is that you mentioned.
This article says that Susan Crawford’s sabbatical, which began two months after she received tenure at the University of Michigan, will end in January.
JANUARY, not the end of October.

Thank you, but I am unable to understand speech on videos well.
.
Gregg quit - now a vocal critic of Obama’s agenda and methods
Ray LaHood stayed on - and spews the Obama party line
It makes one wonder about how politicians will sell out like that
.
January - not the end of October
Good catch potlatch
[January - not the end of October]
Yeah, it was in the original article, lol. She left for other reasons.
[Gregg quit and Ray LaHood stayed on]
Don’t know how you remember all of them. The names are not even familiar to me.
.
“To spend more time with her family” - perhaps
Gibbs complained about 5 and 9 on FNC
Beck and Hannity
Not about O’Reilly
-
Took me a few minutes to recall those 2 names
At first I thought you were talking about ‘long hours’ as in 5am to 9pm, lol. But - we certainly know Obama doesn't keep hours like that...
You listen to Rush all the time and are bound to remember a lot of things from his shows. I don't know a thing about what he says.
.
I keep Rush on but often miss things as I multi-task
Emailed him something today - I’ll be interested in seeing if it shows up
Gibbs is a moron - He has the arrogance of Obama and his thugs - but cannot fake his way through a day now - even libs are starting to question him
-
Obama bringing Gibbs and Rahm into military briefings is a real dumb move - some serious legal consequences could appear
You mean something he may speak about or does he put things on his website? Since I can't hear him I never go to his website.
Gibbs is a dummy, they have to pick someone who is glib of mouth though, so they can ad lib.
Lol, Gibbs, glib and ad lib.
Gibbs and Rahm would have to have clearance for that, right? But Obama does as he pleases.
Exactly. What skeletons were in her closet?
She didn’t worship Mao enough?
.
Rush will often use little tidbits he or his staff see on FR - he and Glenn Beck also go through their emails
Do not expect a reply
Gibbs & Rahm have no clearances
Obama has the dumb idea that they will be both able to be exempt from hearings or oversight because of national security if they attend briefings
Obama is wrong
-
Backing off of FOX was because many dems in the Senate saw an impeachment problem growing
If Obama was MENSA material - he would pove it and flaunt it
He cannot
I have a hard time keeping up with my email and it's just the same people each sending 8 or more political things or jokes a day, lol. Then there will be a quiet day and I wonder if the internet is broke!
Obama isn't MENSA and he isn't wise either.
.
His staff scans subject lines on emails
He also has the latest Apple software and lots of experienced staff
Email can be overwhelming at times
[Email can be overwhelming at times]
I guess so.
I go through and delete the ones I don’t care about. Don’t send out any political stuff anymore as all family and friends are seeing the same things I do now.
