The Communist Party USA is just ecstatic about the election of Barack Obama and the strengthening of Democrat majorities in Congress. According to the People's Weekly World,
Communist Party USA leaders meeting here Nov. 15-16 celebrated the election of Barack Obama, the nation's first African American president, and of stronger Democratic majorities in Congress...
They adopted a call to action to carry out the election mandate... And they said maintaining the unity of the movement that elected Obama will be vital to making gains. Anything that disrupts that unity is "the worst thing that could happen."
"This is not just a campaign, it is a movement." ...
CPUSA National Chair Sam Webb said, "The people have taken a necessary first step toward a new society." Obama is bringing a "reform agenda in a reform era whose character will be decided in the years ahead," he said. ...
Activists from battleground states emphasized the key role that trade union leaders and rank-and-file union members played there. CPUSA Labor Commission chair Scott Marshall noted the "near-total unity of labor" in backing Obama, saying it bodes well for further labor unity...
"Our program should be strong and decisive. It should call for taking the profits out of basic needs like health care and energy and explore public ownership. At the same time, we should be part of the movement that puts the wind at Obama's back." ...
What is needed to reverse this crisis, he said, "is massive fiscal expansion, large injections of federal money into the economy" to fund public works job programs, extend jobless benefits and food stamps and help Americans hold onto their homes. As immediate priorities, Webb said, "We need to single out jobs and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, joining with others in the struggle." The EFCA, labor's top priority, will make it easier for workers to join unions....
Fishman cautioned against getting bogged down in disputes over Cabinet appointments.
People's Weekly World is jaw dropping. It's the perfect prescription for less health care and less energy. Say a prayer that we keep the filibuster.
Now they have one of their own coming into the oval office.

In other words, snow is cold.
"The people have taken a necessary first step toward a backward society."
There. Fixed it.
Me: 0bama is a socialist.
Lib: Don’t be absurd.
Me: I have plenty of evidence to back my up, care to discuss it?
Lib: No, I don’t want to see it.
Me: OK, so let’s say he’s not a socialist, how would his agenda be different if he was?
Lib: Oh, please... Don’t be absurd.
Thanks for the link.
People who aren't celebrating are buying guns, ammo, food, and livestock.
Which group would you rather be around?

Obama, the first COMMUNIST/SOCALIST PRESIDENT of the USA!!
Like this is a surprise? I always thought they were kindred spirits.
The first? Judging from America’s decades-old piecemeal slide into socialism,you’d think there were others.
