The USA's first CIO is suspended

Well, it was an awfully short honeymoon. Vivek Kundra has been placed on indefinite leave after a raid on his former offices in Washington D.C. Apparently, the FBI is investigating some of his business partners on bribery charges. The president says the action is merely because of an "abundance of caution".

Is it really so hard to find qualified, competent people without a skeleton in their closet? Or this merely a sign of the level of scrutiny that the new president is under? Either way, it would be good to see the cabinet forming up without so much turmoil

It seems that team Obama is more interested in qualifications than on the quality of the person. Another sign that outward appearance is of higher importance to them than inner strength.

The vetting process is surely lacking in this administration. Either candidates are lying to Obama's people or they don't care about things that they would have decried in earlier administrations.

Everything and nothing changes when you're in power. Sad but true.
