Not exactly, but Obama is already working to get rid of them.
Editor’s Note: This article is adapted from Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities, by Stanley Kurtz, from Sentinel HC.
President Obama is not a fan of America’s suburbs. Indeed, he intends to abolish them. With suburban voters set to be the swing constituency of the 2012 election, the administration’s plans for this segment of the electorate deserve scrutiny. Obama is a longtime supporter of “regionalism,” the idea that the suburbs should be folded into the cities, merging schools, housing, transportation, and above all taxation. To this end, the president has already put programs in place designed to push the country toward a sweeping social transformation in a possible second term. The goal: income equalization via a massive redistribution of suburban tax money to the cities.
Obama’s plans to undercut the political and economic independence of America’s suburbs reach back decades. The community organizers who trained him in the mid-1980s blamed the plight of cities on taxpayer “flight” to suburbia. Beginning in the mid-1990s, Obama’s mentors at the Gamaliel Foundation (a community-organizing network Obama helped found) formally dedicated their efforts to the budding fight against suburban “sprawl.” From his positions on the boards of a couple of left-leaning Chicago foundations, Obama channeled substantial financial support to these efforts. On entering politics, he served as a dedicated ally of his mentors’ anti-suburban activism.
The alliance endures. One of Obama’s original trainers, Mike Kruglik, has hived off a new organization called Building One America, which continues Gamaliel’s anti-suburban crusade under another name. Kruglik and his close allies, David Rusk and Myron Orfield, intellectual leaders of the “anti-sprawl” movement, have been quietly working with the Obama administration for years on an ambitious program of social reform.

Unfortunately, he does have the power of voter fraud and his voter base (those on welfare and food stamps etc, plus the illegal alien criminal invading colonist vote, not to mention ACORN)
And the Chicago Democrat Mob Gangster Political Machine.

Great! Good to see Rush weighed in.

Yup, only CONSERVATIVES should be voted for.
That’s what the Tea Party is all about.
Heck, there are numerous massive apartment blocks in our cities, with more being built daily.
They are like giant corrals
Yes, and in the California Central Valley (America’s Breadbasket) they continue to limit the water available to keep the crops coming in.
They have a little smelly smelt fish ( a sham, the EPA needs to be shut down before they completely destroy the environment) they have to protect, to heck with feeding humans!
The EPA is determined to ruin the enviroment, with the help of BLM, Forest Service and Park Service. And the democrats, which must snuggle up to the EPA to get their support.
