I’ve often talked about the blogosphere living in it’s own little world but this caught even me by surprise. Did you realize that President-Elect Obama has only once publicly mentioned the “National CTO position” and it was while giving a speech at Google in March?
A friend told me that and it absolutely blew me away. I didn’t even believe him. I went on a Google Search and found pretty much the same result (he’s mentioned it in two science related interviews but as far as public remarks there was nothing)
Looking at the Tech Blogosphere you’d think it was a top priority for the new administration but in reality it barely appears to be a blip on the Radar.
