We imagine America's hack urban pols (is that redundant or what) are celebrating their newfound wealth. We wouldn't celebrate too hard either. To be sure Republicans have treated city dwellers as sixth-class citizens (which may be why The One got, oh, 80% of the vote here in Philthydelphia), but even if He had the money He might be constrained by the realization that urban renewal largely didn't work because it mostly rearranged the rubble, and the city problems that need help big time might not be susceptible to mere money.
