As people’s expectations start to fall back down to reality, Obama will undoubtedly disappoint some of his more rabid supporters.  His first couple of weeks have had their ups-and-downs — the ongoing “Change-O-Meter” at Slate is both entertaining and possibly disheartening.   That said, I don’t follow politics all that closely but the news that Vivek Kundra was nominated  to essentially be the CTO of the government was very interesting.  From a tech perspective, which is something I do care about, Vivek Kundra sounds like a brilliant choice.  I read an article about him a while back and he sounds like exactly the sort of person we need making decisions related to technology.
