The race for Obama’s Chief Technology Officer is still on, but Google CEO Eric Schmidt does not want to be a part of it. Although collaborating with Obama as part of the Transition Economic Advisory Board, Schmidt said in an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer that he is happy with his position at Google, and the answer is no.

“Really? You would turn down the president-elect at this time of crisis?” Cramer asked. But Schmidt said Google is its own exciting opportunity and moved the conversation toward another matter.

During his interview with Cramer, Schmidt argued that his collaboration with president-elect Obama is purely personal and has nothing to do with Google. Furthermore, he also said about Barack Obama: “this president is going to be a president who listens really carefully and moves.”

Schmidt also explained that the next administration’s plan is to put a power grid in place, based on renewable resources, to solve energy problems, get plug-in hybrids out and create jobs in the auto industry, and more. All these opportunities, like Obama often said, will help solve real problems Americans are confronting today.

Schmidt might not be willing to take that position, but someone will. The man everyone is looking for right now will have a hard task to take on, and there are only a few people who could fill these shoes. Among the names circulating the media were former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during the Clinton administration Reed Hundt, or Vint Cerf, the “father of the Internet.”
