Mike Griffin Wins Washington Post "Act Clueless Award"
The Worst Leadership Performances of 2008, Washington Post
“Act Clueless Award: Michael Griffin. The incumbent administrator of NASA judged Lori Garver, head of president-elect Obama’s NASA transition team, as “not qualified” to evaluate the merits of the return-to the moon Constellation rocket program. Griffin then sought an audience with the president-elect. Speculation is that Griffin is afraid that the Obama administration will gut his pet project and so he has asked NASA contractors to withhold information on Constellation.”
