WASHINGTON (CNN) – After just a week on the job, the Obama administration’s new chief information officer is taking a leave of absence until further notice.
A White House official tells CNN that Vivek Kundra is taking a leave from his post at the Office of Management and Budget until more details become known about an FBI investigation that resulted in a search of his former work place.

OKAY, then - what does THAT tell us?
I have never seen a President so mired in Scandal. He can't even find enough people to fill his cabinet. What a shame. And all those people he fooled...
Ah, Kundra "is not involved in the case."
That kind of statement is usually followed late on a Friday evening by news that he is leaving the administration to "spend more time with his family."
Later, much later, on a busy news day CNN will report that he is under indictment.
Now if he were a conservative...
If his not involved, then why take a leave of absence? Welcome to the Obama Show!
Change you can believe in 🙂 Dont blame me I voted for the other guy
This stuff is just becoming stupid.
The robotic novice doesn't have a clue but he likes the perks! 🙁
Obama and his minions are just the same old sleazy politicians.
Funny nobody comments on this.
Typical... I voted for change and I don't see it.
Just more wasteful spending and more political antics and corruption.
I am disappointed and it hasn't even been 2 months...
If he weren't President, this is almost bordering comical.
your cabinet choices have been as bad as your campaign promises.
Does Obama know anyone that is not a crook or being investigated. He has the canny ability to find tax cheats etc. He should work for the IRS.
I am glad that President Obama took such swift action, and made the man take a leave of absence right away!
We are at the beginning at what will be the most corrupt administration this country has ever seen.
This administration is a real work of art.
YAHOO...this is the change we voted for.
Obama 08...not one of our better ideas.
Birds of a feather......
Uh oh, another embarrasing moment for the messaih. Why doesn't the whole administration go on a leave of absense. Just a little while, say for the next 4 years! I think our country will be better off.
Hire an American – I'm so sick of all the foreigners coming here and taking the jobs and not doing what they are supposed to.
HIRE AMERICAN
OMG! what is going on with this administration? I guess this is the President's idea of change, losing appointees like flies on a rotting corpse?
And the corruption continues.
Amazing.
For all of u freaks who voted for obama. This is a good example of how the country will be negatively affected by a man who hangs out with people that have bad judgement.
