Why call it "Obama Appointee's Office"?

[trish]

Guilt by association.

So let me get this straight, a buyer for the Washington DC government's Chief Technology Officer was busted for fraud, bribery etc along with the corporate individual doing all the bribing etc. The head of that DC government office was Obama's CIO appointment.

So the headline reads "Obama appointee on leave":shakehead

Nice:irked:

I altered the title of the thread. It seems a unnecessarily political to bring the President's name into it at this stage.

[SurfaceUnits]

then whose appointee was he? neo-socialists :rolleyes:

Acting coy won't convince anybody you're any smarter.

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.

Kundra may be eligible for an ethics waiver. :thumbup:

What does Bernie Sanders have to do with this?

[Sean Malone]

Is this the beginning of Chicago politics in DC?:confused::D

[Ankf00]

If he steals your inside info., you put one of his in the morgue. THAT'S the Chicago way.

if you could expand your fantasy writing by 2-300 pages, you could sell it on Amazon.com


and the politicians you are so enamoured with are still giving themselves a pay raise. because they've done such a smashing job over the past two years

It's getting really out of hand now, CNET news is getting in on the hate

The guy will submit his resignation, which is a sight better than the Clinton days where he would be found in west Little Rock with a bullet in the head or like Mary Mahoney, at a DC Starbucks with two bullets in the head

Simultaneous at 6:02!
Musta been just that obvious.
:rofl:

[pchall]

As the raid took place, Kundra [the Obama appointee] was giving a speech at FOSE - an annual government technology expo - about changing the way the government purchases materials from vendors.

:rofl: [mr.rogers]Can you say irony?[/mr.rogers]

Apparently we don't have enough corrupt American vendors and need to out source our graft.

I tried to steer this discussion away from politics but some folks evidently don't understand the rules.
