Might Google CEO Eric Schmidt be US CTO?

Might Google CEO Eric Schmidt be US CTO?

Thrax Robert Hallock 20 Oct, 2008 at 5:38pm ET Article published in Tech

Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been a supporter of presidential hopeful Barack Obama for some time. In addition to performing in an informal advisory role to Obama, Schmidt plans to hit the trail in support of the candidate, a task he’s doing personally. This has elicited mounting speculation that Schmidt may be the United States’ first Chief Technology Office if Barack Obama wins the upcoming election.

While Schmidt has publicly stated he’s wildly opposed to the idea, there are few individuals more suited or seemingly more in line for the task.

Howdy, Stranger!
