Obama aims to improve gov't technology, cut waste
(AP) — President Obama says improving the government's technological capabilities is critical to effectively using American taxpayers' money and reducing waste.
Obama was speaking to a group of more than 50 CEOs Thursday at a forum about modernizing government. The crowd included executives from Facebook, UPS, Trader Joe's and Southwest Airlines.
