Google CEO Wants to Be President Obama’s Tech Chief

Did you sleep together ? Besides sitting on Apple ’s card of directors , Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been an informal adviser to Barack Obama ’s presidential campaign . In fact , he lurves Obama so much that ’s he not just going to back him ( shock , right ? ) he ’s going to really campaign for him next week . And not just ’cause Obama might be right for business sector ! No , he pronounce he ’s “ doing this personally . ” Very perchance because he want to be the state ’s very first Chief Technology Officer , a position Obama said he would make last year — maybe not - so - coincidentallyright before he paid his first visit to Google ! While Schmidt says the Goog is formally neutral , the WSJ observe that “ Congress is debate measures that could have an adverse impact on Google ’s business ” like “ rule that would allow telecommunications company to charge different Mary Leontyne Price for unlike levels of Internet service , ” i.e. , net non - neutrality . Obama has said thathe is pro nett - disinterest , which would do good Google . Perhaps not - so - surprisingly , Google employee have donate nearly half a million dollars to Obama ’s campaign , and a simple $ 20,600 to John McCain as of Aug. 31 , according to the Journal ( which would likely make them among Obama ’s top bodied conferrer , sinceVerizon employee ’ $ 155,000 for McCainplaced among his top 20 embodied conferrer ever ) . Tuesday is the first day Obama and Schmidt reach the trail together , but some speculate he ’s been doing some campaigning of his own with Obama for a while — to be Obama ’s first tech chief :

Asked at a speech this month whether he would deal entering the political sports stadium , the 53 - year - old Mr. Schmidt call out , “ H- , no ! ” But some tech and spiritualist executives speculate that he might desire a role in an Obama administration , maybe the chief technology military officer post Sen. Obama has said he would create .

I have to say , there are few more dependant than Google ’s chief operating officer , especially sinceBill Gates dreams beyond tech now , and Steve Jobsis perfectly well-chosen within his own little world at Apple . Who would be your aspiration tech chief be ? [ WSJviaValleywag , range : Real Dan Lyons ]
