There is no Silicon Valley problem.

She assumes that everyone shares her progressive/leftist view of government.

Why is it Silicon Valley's responsibility to "fix government" and not hers?

It's my responsibility too. I'm working on it. Just coming off the Obama campaign and rolling into a new gig in the coming weeks. Not ready to announce it yet, but I'm proud of it and think it's part of the solution.

When you were on the Obama campaign trail were you voicing opposition to his policies? Specifically FISA?

At the least, she is vocal about FISA.

No, I wasn't. I wanted him to win--and am so glad he did--and criticizing him on FISA would have been counterproductive at best. I don't agree with every one of the hundreds of positions he's taken, but I'm not a one-issue voter. Despite his flaws and disagreements I have with him on some issues, he's probably the best President I'll ever see in my lifetime. Helping to get him re-elected is one of the greatest things I'll ever do.
