Without much hope and change to showcase after three and a half years, Obama’s only re-election campaign option is to go negative on the opposition. So Romney has suddenly been tagged with the label “Romneyhood,” a nasty villain who takes money from the poor to give to the rich – haha.
 
The name calling is just another smokescreen for the administration’s real intentions. In truth, it’s the president and his minions who have their sights set directly on the middle class. Stanley Kurtz explains why and how in “Burn Down the Suburbs?” at National Review Online:

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.

 
Right. The flight to suburbia had nothing to do with the destructive policies administered by the Democrats who were in charge of all those cities.
 
Now it’s time for the Alinskyites to punish the bourgeois for daring to desire a safer, more prosperous life in the burbs. Plans for retribution include the following:

One approach is to force suburban residents into densely packed cities by blocking development on the outskirts of metropolitan areas, and by discouraging driving with a blizzard of taxes, fees, and regulations.
Step two is to move the poor out of cities by imposing low-income-housing quotas on development in middle-class suburbs.
Step three is to export the controversial “regional tax-base sharing” scheme currently in place in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area to the rest of the country. Under this program, a portion of suburban tax money flows into a common regional pot, which is then effectively redistributed to urban, and a few less well-off “inner-ring” suburban, municipalities.
 

The Obama administration, stocked with “regionalist” appointees (like Mike Kruglik and his “Building One America” organization), has been advancing this ambitious plan quietly for the past four years. Efforts to discourage driving and to press development into densely packed cities are justified by reference to fears of global warming. Leaders of the crusade against “sprawl” very consciously use environmental concerns as a cover for their redistributive schemes.
 
The centerpiece of the Obama administration’s anti-suburban plans is a little-known and seemingly modest program called the Sustainable Communities Initiative. The “regional planning grants” funded under this initiative — many of them in battleground states like Florida, Virginia, and Ohio — are set to recommend redistributive policies, as well as transportation and development plans, designed to undercut America’s suburbs.
 
Few have noticed this because the program’s goals are muffled in the impenetrable jargon of “sustainability,” while its recommendations are to be unveiled only in a possible second Obama term.

 
Obama and his merry band of progressives are famous for projecting their nefarious motives onto their opponents. Considering this plot to destroy suburbia, who are the real villains?

All of this dove-tails nicely with the evil schemes of Agenda 21. A world-wide plan for global domination by an elite ruling class? Sounds like another far-fetched conspiracy theory? Not when it appears to be exactly what Obama and company are aiming for under “Building One America.”
When you hear the word “sustainability,” run!
