On Wednesday with great fanfare the awarding of a $30.5 million federal grant to revitalize Grove Parc--by tearing it down--was announced.
The irony is thick here. Jarrett's Habitat runs Grove Parc into the ground, and now the federal government funding its demolition and the building of its replacement.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, Sen. Dick Durbin, and US Rep. Bobby Rush attended the Grove Parc ceremony. Jarret was not there. In fact, no mention of her role in mismanaging the unhappy homes was mentioned by the Chicago Sun-Times or the Chicago Tribune.
But my good friend Anne Leary noticed.

Well, the 2012 campaign has started. This is emblematic of the Obama economy.
