As an African-American woman who grew up in the South Bronx, Carter understands that some people think cleaning and greening a city will “kill” hip hop because it takes away from the suffering, which often fuels the art form.

Yeah, every time you throw your beer can or twinkie wrapper or used condom on the street, it's art. But hey, let's spend millions greening and cleaning -- then we can throw all our crap on the street again -- for the suffering, bro. And the art.

Always follow the $$$.

Always follow the power.

Always follow the control.

Use other people's money (tax dollars) to control the ones you are using and throw them the occasional bone to feed on. Example: Lennox and 9/11.

This is all a load of course. “Green the Ghetto” is another way of coming through the back down to raid the kitty all in the name of the Green Cult led by Van Jones. And like the good little Commie he is-he will attempt to re-write the history of 9/11 and make it into something of their own image and imagination “Community Service Day”. That's what Communists do well, re-write history.

At this rate, Obama could have his “just as well funded as the military” army of “community organizers” in no time.

“...And that's why as president, I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose. People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem — they are the answer.

So we are going to send — we're going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods all across the country. We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, to be there for our military families. And we're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy.

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded....”

-Barack Obama, Colorado Springs, July 2, 2008
