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;

Da Speshul Office.
We already have a Department of Housing and Urban Development. Why do we need another bureaucracy?
Oh, I forgot. That’s what socialists and Marxists do; establish centralized governments to control all aspects of our lives from a central government.
All these new agencies.... everyone is doing oversight and policy coordination. How is anyone supposed to get anything done? Maybe the bottleneck of all these agencies is a blessing in disguise.
And so is born the office for the US national socialist party.
The philosophy of the average/majority Urban resident is antithetical to innovation/personal responsibility and to the US Constitution in general.
Is this from the real Whitehouse or The Onion or Scrappleface Whitehouse?
Or the National Socialist Nazi Whitehouse?
Yep, just take your Acorn organizing tactics and make it national.
Bring it on, you jive Chumps.
I guess the same reason he wants a “Civilian Security Force”.. The Little Dictator is taking over right before our eyes.
Who needs Pelosi or Reid when he has a computer and a pen.
"Thuggee (or tuggee, ठग्गी) (from Hindi ṭhag ‘thief’, from Sanskrit sthaga ‘scoundrel’, from sthagati ‘he conceals’) is the term for a particular format for the murder and robbery of travellers in India."
"The modern word "thug" derives from this term."
