Obama's Gov Can Do Cancer Is Taking Hold

I had to laugh at the following quotes from the new federal CIO Vivek Kundra.

Kundra told attendees that in his new role as federal CIO, he is "embarking on a technology revolution in government." But much of his talk to an audience of government workers and federal IT vendors was a morale-boosting rally.

For instance, Kundra promised to undo the image of the federal government as a laggard in technology adoption and innovation. "We can be thought leaders when it comes to innovation," he said.

Kundra promised to hold voluntary open-door sessions on weekends for federal IT workers who want to share their views on "high-level" technology issues. He said that he has been "amazed" by the IT talent he is finding within the government, and that some of "the smartest people I've ever met in my life are federal government employees."
