Seems Obama has no plans to end the fraud in DC

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.

Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion often received contributions just before or after he sponsored money for projects or approved important zoning changes, records show.

Most donations were organized and well-timed.

In one case, a developer became a Carrion fund-raiser two months before the borough president signed off on his project, raising more than $6,000 in campaign cash.

I saw that yesterday and didn't even bother posting it because it's so commonplace. The sheeple who voted for Obama are getting a heaping helping of fraud early on in the term. Yay!

At least his last name is appropriate...Carrion.

I chuckled at that too....there's gotta be a "dead on arrival" joke in there. O0
