Unrealistic. Obama has enough on his plate with Obamacare and deciding the US role in Libya. Nor is their any reason to think that Obama will secretly control Google via Eric Schmidt.
A more realistic outcome is that Eric Schmidt will find his job is to get tech companies to donate. T.J. Rogers a silicon valley CEO tells how the relationship between the valley and Washington was during Clintons time (http://secure.cypress.com/?rID=34975 http://secure.cypress.com/?rID=34975):
"Even though Clinton wooed Silicon Valley by telling us he supported litigation reform, he had also taken political contributions from plaintiff lawyers. He chose them over us and vetoed our litigation reform bill. Fortunately for us, the SLRA was so well crafted that a Democratic Congress overrode Clinton’s veto. Shortly after that fiasco, Clinton returned to Silicon Valley for some more public relations and to raise money at a prominent CEO’s house at a $50,000-perplate dinner. One dinner topic was litigation reform. Clinton then accepted several hundred thousand dollars to perform a back flip."
