In the past, insufficient attention has been paid to the problems faced by urban areas and to coordinating the many Federal programs that affect our cities.
"Coordinating federal programs" is another way of saying "getting money to".
Now the unusual twist to this is that the man that Obama wants to appoint to this position has a little bit of an ethics problem. Guess what it is?
The man who is President Obama's newly minted urban czar pocketed thousands of dollars in campaign cash from city developers whose projects he approved or funded with taxpayers' money, a Daily News probe found.
Ironically, for the position that Obama is hiring him for, this seems to me like his resume. I mean, isn't his job going to be to funnel campaign cash to Obama in exchange for urban redevopment?
Remember: Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel, was an advisor to Clinton (who was impeached.)
Then Rahm worked as a fundraiser for Chicago's Mayor Daley.
Let's not forget that Rahm worked as a 'chief campaign strategist' for our impeached governor Blago.
With all of that in mind, getting kickbacks sounds like it would make Obama's new hire overqualified for the job.
