By -

Transcript from many places, but provided by the Daily Kos' Barbin MD. In her post, Barbin talks about Obama's selection of one of New York's realest in Shaun Donovan.
President-Elect Barack Obama announced in this morning's weekly address that Shaun Donovan, Commissioner of Housing Preservation and Development in New York City, has been tapped for the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Not surprisingly, given the announcement, Obama's address focused on the economy and the resultant housing crisis.

In his New York position, Donovan oversaw the largest municipal affordable housing program in the nation, according to the Obama transition team, and he led his department in setting standards for energy efficiency in public housing, in educating low-income New Yorkers about predatory lending scams and sub-prime loans, and in developing inclusionary zoning laws that promoted transit-oriented growth in areas with underdeveloped land in order to approach sustainability.

It's Friday, that means it's "The Cinema" time: Without a doubt, the best movie this week is the enjoyable Emma Thompson improving on the first version of Nanny McPhee with "Nanny McPhee Returns!" It is another delight for the kids and adults from a class actress in a fun role. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel hopes there is another return for this nanny : But this is a most welcome return, a sequel that rises from the “world of poo” of its setting and tickles and warms the heart. Let’s hope Nanny McPhee is “deployed” again, and soon. Another movie out this week is Piranha 3-D, which has been made as a scary fun spoof to Jaws.
