This is the first installment in a series where I will review the plan that the Chosen One will soon be implementing. Sarcastic comments are provided free of charge, don't thank me, I'm a giver. My comments in [italics.]
Directly from B. Hussein Obama's website.
Strengthen Federal Commitment to our Cities [Huh? I didn't realize there was a federal commitment to our cities. Hang on a second while I check my handy dandy pocket constitution.......nope, couldn't find it, hmmmmm. Actually, everything in this agenda is unconstitutional, so I won't beat that horse more than once per post.....probably.]
Create a White House Office on Urban Policy:
Obama and Biden will create a White House Office of Urban Policy to develop a strategy for metropolitan America and to ensure that all federal dollars targeted to urban areas are effectively spent on the highest-impact programs. [To what aim? Determined by who? Funded by who?] The Director of Urban Policy will report directly to the president and coordinate all federal urban programs.
Fully Fund the Community Development Block Grant: [With what money? Or to be more specific, whose money?] In the long run, regions are only as strong as their people and neighborhoods. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is an important program that provides housing and creating jobs [How does it create jobs? Government doesn't create jobs, people create jobs, entrepenuers create jobs. Government destroys jobs through high taxes and over-regulation.] primarily for low- and moderate-income people and places. Barack Obama has fought against Bush Administration cuts to the CDBG program and, as president, he will restore funding for the CDBG program.
Do No Harm [bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha]:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden do not support imposing unfunded mandates on states and localities. [Why do they support the issuing of mandates to state and local governments at all. Regulate interstate commerce sure, but issuing mandates? Since when is it the federal governments job to tell local governments what to do? Consider this, if the people who lived in a certain city, state, etc. wanted a particular law, they would pass that law themselves. If they haven't, it means they don't want it. Who is the federal government to tell them they must? When the federal government mandates something it is people who live in area A telling the people who live in area B what to do and how to live. So much for a federalist system.] They strongly support providing necessary funding for programs such as No Child Left Behind.
If there is one constant that we will see throughtout this series it is that Obama plans to spend a lot of money. I can see why he wants to end our military operations so badly, he needs that money for all of his new unconstitutional programs. You will definitely see a trend as we examine his plan in this regard.

Have you seen the Dept. of Peace Bill? Check that thing out. I know someone thinks that it is the right thing to do because if we have the DOD then the DOP is justified. What do you think we have a DOD for? To seek out wars? Nope, to maintain peace by means of war because it is always the violent that threaten peace. It is not the leader prone to talk and debate that oppresses entire populations, it is the dictator, the violent men who invite violence upon them. I am not a war monger, I do not like war and I've been there, maybe not to the capacity of some but I've had my walls shaken by artillery enough to own and opinion. That being said, I know through history and pattern that peace is always obtained through war and secured by arms. This is just another department that will cost billions and avail nothing. Look it up, it is out there on the net. Check out Lighthouse Trails' article on it then look up the bill.
The DOP was originally Kucinich's idea, which should tell you everything you need to know about it. The irony is that we already have a "DOP", it's called the State Department.
