Bloggers give Obama marching orders for the IT industry

Dan_Tynan: Did the IRS really turn around? That would be news.

Craig_Mathias: The IRS project wasted billions, as I recall. But Curt has a good point - we need a manager not a star.

Matthew_Nickash: Sure, I can see the "scope creep" happening already. But a "council" or advisory committee that handles the roles of a CIO or CTO would be more beneficial.

Jeff_Doyle: I think what's needed here, however, is vision, which Vint could provide.

Craig_Mathias: Vision is easy. Management is hard, especially with politics and constrained budgets.
