If Only Obama Had Listened | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: There is actually a vacancy at the top of the CIO office at CMS.  The chief technology officer position is vacant.  Whether that vacancy ocurred before or after the current debacle is hard to say, as no one was looking before things went south.  Still, it is the contracting approach that was faulty, which is a whole different department.  The work never should have been spread out.  It should frankly have been given to IBM without bidding - even though such things are usually frowned upon.  It would have taken huge stones to do this, but such things are lacking - which is really why this was doomed (and why no one stopped the October rollout).
