The White House contacted me again at the cyber emergency headquarters in South Korea where I've been working almost around the clock to stop North Korea from taking over this country via compumetric terror attacks. They asked me again if I would like to be on the short list of nominees for the new cyber czar position after my colleague Melissa Hathaway tendered her resignation.

I told the White House exactly what I said before. "I'm in South Korea right now trying to save their people from cyber terror attacks. I'm not the kind of guy who likes to lead from the rear." I asked the person to pass on my gratitude to the president for thinking so highly of me, and then we hung up.
