Executive Order: ESTABLISHMENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF URBAN AFFAIRS
White House Website ^ | 02/17/2009 | White House

Posted on 02/20/2009 3:02:59 PM PST by Maigret

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to take a coordinated and comprehensive approach to developing and implementing an effective strategy concerning urban America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. About 80 percent of Americans live in urban areas, and the economic health and social vitality of our urban communities are critically important to the prosperity and quality of life for Americans. Vibrant cities spawn innovation, economic growth, and cultural enrichment through the businesses, universities, and civic, cultural, religious, and nonprofit institutions they attract. Forward-looking policies that encourage wise investment and development in our urban areas will create employment and housing opportunities and make our country more competitive, prosperous, and strong. In the past, insufficient attention has been paid to the problems faced by urban areas and to coordinating the many Federal programs that affect our cities. A more comprehensive approach is needed, both to develop an effective strategy for urban America and to coordinate the actions of the many executive departments and agencies whose actions impact urban life.

Sec. 2. Establishment. There is established within the Executive Office of the President the White House Office of Urban Affairs (the "Office").

Sec. 3. Functions. The principal functions of the Office are, to the extent permitted by law:

(a) to provide leadership for and coordinate the development of the policy agenda for urban America across executive departments and agencies;

(b) to coordinate all aspects of urban policy;

(c) to work with executive departments and agencies to ensure that appropriate consideration is given by such departments and agencies to the potential impact of their actions on urban areas;.......

It’s weird but I don’t even see the White House the same any more. When they report from the scene and show a shot of the White House it doesn’t feel like “our” White House any more. It used to feel like the people’s house. Now it seems like a strange place to me. I wish it were all a bad dream

I don’t feel it’s ‘our’ anymore, either. What REALLY got my mother and I was when Zero and Ho-chelle went to Camp David.

His vision is to wipe out the middle class and upper middle class by this summer. This is the redistribution of wealth from workers to gangstas.

Yet strangely we allowed ourselves into being bullied by them. And still do.

“The Black House.”

I’m sure that that’s what it’s being called in the “hoods” all over America now.

The Blacks are in charge now. This is just the beginning of the redistribution scheme.
Fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight to your wallet.

Maybe the bottleneck of all these agencies is a blessing in disguise.

Or as one department says it won't happen, or it will happen, the other says the opposite. Then Obama can say he had nothing to do with it. He wasn't there. His people did it without his knowledge. As usual with Obummer.

...who would have ever dreamed that marxism would enter through the ethnic door???

Those of us who were watching them in the 1960s. The Soviet Union spent millions of $$$ grooming these monkeys for social revolution. Obama's papa is an interesting case study (no, not that poor pigeon from Kenya. He was a tool). But, alas... I digress...
