SocraticGadfly: The latest Team Obama money scandal?

The latest Team Obama money scandal?

President Barack Obama’s new urban affairs czar, former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion seems to have had some amazing campaign finance luck after most times he approved new real estate developments.

And, Carrion’s refusal to comment beyond a released statement doesn’t look very good.

The complete story is very detailed on the who, how much and when of these campaign contributions, too.

This is why someone like Robert Byrd is spot-on to rail about how all of these “czars,” unreviewable by the Senate, are unconstitutional. And, this being revealed the same day that Obama’s budget director talked about doing an end run around Senate procedural rules doesn’t come off good at all.
