    Rybak talks up Obama plan for urban policy office

    By Joe Kimball | Published Fri, Nov 21 2008 11:49 am

    R.T. Rybak, who was an early rider on the Barack Obama express, talked up the president-elect's idea for an urban policy office in the new administration, says the Minnesota Independent.

    The Minneapolis mayor appeared on an MPR show Thursday with Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. The Independent said Rybak "did a fairly miserable job of professing a lack of interest" in whether Obama might offer him the job of running such an urban policy office.

    The site included the transcript of the interesting exchange about Rybak’s interest in an Obama administration post.
