Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, in a recent television interview has stated that he has no plans to join the Barack Obama administration post the Presidential Inauguration scheduled in January. Schmidt was one of the high-profile supporters of Obama and his involvement in the Obama campaigning had sent rumour mills on fire with some even speculating he might end up in the administration as “Chief Technology Officer”.
The rumours though have been laid to rest now with the confirmation from Schmidt himself. In a television interview with CNBC host Jim Cramer, who had posed the question, Schmidt said, “"I love working at Google and I'm very happy to stay at Google, so the answer is no." As for who will be occupying the coveted post if not Schmidt, there is also a little rumor going on about Internet pioneer Vint Cerf , who has been Google’s chief Internet evangelist. Another prominent name coming up is Reed Hundt, a former regulatory authority official.
