The guy had a questionable State job wher papers years ago reported that he made a lot of money for the department head, raising lots of questions.
His "success" was taking taxpayer money to provide Internet to rural areas. A complete disaster when you consider the price was dozens of times higher than a private company that offerd it just a few months later. But, his company once again made huge profits "can you spell conflict of interest?".
The praise is that he (and other IT appointments) is a 2nd generation India immigrant.
Then... they outsource all these jobs to India (like all of Citi Group) after they get taxpayer bailout!

I am sorry to have voted for him.
