Barack Obama has lived in big cities for most of his life, and he's promised to make urban issues a central part of his presidential agenda. But there are a wide variety of opinions about who should oversee Obama's urban programs -- even down to how we should define "city issues." Kojo talks with leaders in D.C. and other cities about strategies for reinvesting in our nation's urban areas.
