Two sources say a top White House technology official, Chief Information Officer Brook Colangelo, routinely asked technology vendors for special deals based on his position as a public official.

The Chicago Way gone national. "You wouldn't want nothing to happen to your business, would ya?"

‘And, on the issue of Colangelo seeking special deals, the first White House official offered a longer, carefully worded defense that denies that practice takes place inside the White House.

Given nearly a week to respond, the official said, “The Office of Administration follows all federal procurement laws in dealing with vendors. As was the case here, it considers only performance when dealing with vendors. The office does not ask for special treatment or deals from vendors; it does work with them to ensure that they can meet the unique and particular technological specifications that are sometimes necessary given the work of the White House.”

Now? Maybe, but I doubt it. But what about in the past? Carefully worded is right!
