Gee Dave, you want Obama to nationalize the cities too? I used to admire you as a basketball player, but you are pure Communist as a mayor.

There were “just us for trayvon” gaggles in 100 cities. I’ll bet there’s close to a 100% overlap between the 100 race bate cities and the 100 bankrupt ones.

And what do all those cities have in common?
Over 40 years of failed Liberal policies and populations too dumb/lazy to do much else than farm work.

We’ve got Newark, we’ve got Gary
Somebody told me we got L.A.
And we’re working on Atlanta

Tell ‘em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don’t be surprised if Ali is in the White House

And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?
A chocolate city is no dream

The word “urban” is Latin for city - a ridiculous redundancy to speak of “urban cities.”

More than 100 urban U.S. cities

But the rural cities are doing much better.

After bankruptcy, Detroit will try to rebuild, but sadly with the same cast of characters that drove it into the ground.

Yup, all laws need to be reinterpreted by the Courts to see if Lord Obama is being properly honored.

SCOTUS will need to rule on this one. MI constitution says pensions must be honored one way or the other, while Fed Law says CH9 Bankruptcy is allowed and pension/contracts can be modified. Only Congress can approve a bailout. This one will pit cities vs rest of America. Wall Street will be in the background wanting a Fed Bailout so their bond losses will be dump on the taxpayer. Problem for the cities is the American taxpayer is sick of bailouts and being stuck with the bill. Unfortunately the very poor and the rich and powerful will unite on this one and try to make the bailout happen.

Isn’t the Detroit septic tank in John Conyers’ congressional fen? ... And we wonder why the city is a wasteland of liberal democrip results?

"More than 100 urban U.S. cities “are having the same problems we’re having"

Yeah well, duh.
America's concentrated Democrat parasite nests ("cities") are run, after all, by... Democrats.

More than 100 urban U.S. cities “are having the same problems we’re having,” Mr. Bing said. “We may be one of the first. We are the largest. But we absolutely will not be the last. And so we have got to set a benchmark in terms how to fix our cities.”

Mr. Bing, you and your people need to look in the mirror and examine the content of your characters. The same thing needs to be done in the more than 100 urban U.S. cities with the same problem. When less than 50% of your kids graduate high school, and most that do graduate are still illiterates, then you will have problems competing. While immigrants (legal or not) may not always be well educated, they are willing to work their butts off. Mr. Bing, your people are lazy. Combine that with ignorance and an entitlement mentality and no one wants to be around you and your people. Throw in your gangs of thugs, drugs, crime and violence then you have even more people that do not want to be around you and your people. That is why people have left Detroit and are leaving 100's of urban cities. Keep you hands off my wallet and may you learn your lesson by wallowing in your own filth.

Aquilina said that she will ensure that President Barack Obama gets a copy of her order. “It’s also not honoring the president, who took [Detroit’s auto companies] out of bankruptcy.”

They don't want a president, they want a king.
