It would have to be done the right way, though, since bureaucracies tend to screw things up.

Central planning is doomed to failure. The curriculum vitae of the planners is irrelevant.

I believe Obama and the Obamatrons do not distinguish between plans and goals.

True

They're still in "campaign mode".

However at some point they will have to come up with something, anything , even if it's just something to keep thre true believers in line.

“BARACK OBAMA’S PLAN TO CREATE 5 MILLION NEW GREEN JOBS”

From 5 million down to 2.5 million then when 0 happens he will just blame Bush.

"At the end of the day," after long meetings with his various advisors and focus groups, I believe what the plan they will come up with will be: "Blame it all on Bush."

Its worked so far.

To paraphrase an old proverb:

“Blame” makes a fair breakfast but a very poor supper.

Everyone but the fanatic Obama supporters and the media(redundant?) will want solutions. The question is: Will they be patient and want till 2012 or demand immediate results by 2010?

Speaking of "Green New Deal," let's keep our eyes open for evidences of Obama "Disaster Socialism."
Disaster Socialism
Thomas Jefferson's foresaw things like disaster socialism as evidenced by this excerpt.
"The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all." --Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797. ME 9:423
The disturbing spin on Jefferson's note is that Obama and his cronies are arguably irresponsibly creating "doubtful ground" situations, as Jefferson put it, so that the feds have new excuses to steal more 10th A. protected powers from the states.
10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
