Hmm? Let me ponder the moment? What has Steven Rattner been up to???
NY penions investigation may have turned something up.
He will be replaced with Ron Bloom, a union boss.
Not only has Bloom never apparently worked in the auto industry — he was an official in the steelworkers union before this — but he doesn’t have Rattner’s breadth of experience on Wall Street, either, although he did work as an investment banker for ten years.

outrageous! each of these Czars are making $130k+. i know it’s not much compared to private sector, but considering they don’t know jack shit about their jobs it’s alot. plenty of perks though & lucrative “connections” for later on. they each get a staff of lackeys too. the Technology Czar isn’t even American. 34 yr old south Asian who speaks Swahili. isn’t that handy? during his watch as Virgina CIO the DMV suspended large numbers of drivers licenses due to a new data security implementation. Obama says he’s simply the best at saving money. that must be why he spent $16 million on a website to TRACK 70 billion of stimulus $$. we’ll prolly have our medical records managed in Nigeria because Mumbai is just too expensive.he wants to put DMV renewals on Facebook. maybe we could vote for President there too! NYT tries to make it look like his family was poor. what a crock. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/05/white-house-names-first-chief-information-officer/
do a search for “Kundra” on slashdot.com for more. lots of great job references for him. his office was raided by the FBI in May. south Asian recruiters are taking over IT contract hiring. recently had 6 different south Asian recruiters call me for the same cheap ass contract. all trying for the lowest bid. the country is turning to crap. I see a very familiar staffing company mentioned:

He’s dirty. We are supposed to be the bosses. We are supposed to have a headhunter who vets the czars. We are all beginning to see that POTUS is not the experienced CEO that he swore he was.
