The architect of a dead economy is in no position to decide what his opposition does. This argument doesn’t work when Rome is burning behind him and he refuses to compromise even slightly.

Projection!

The guy’s mental. Get the guys in White Coats with the strait jacket. Put him in a rubber room, and lock the door.

Obama: GOP not for 'good of the country'

Agreed but, King Putt, you are even worse.

[43north]

Right from the alinsky playbook - accuse the other side of the evil you are doing.

[Norm Lenhart]

Anyone remember the days when people like this were given toys to play with, supervision, 3 meals a day and encouraged to not drool in public?

Anyone?

[AndyTheBear]

Yes after twenty years in Rev Wright’s church, I can see where he gets his concern for the good of America.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Tell that to Wisconsin, butt-boy...

[drypowder]

obozo is just playing president, he's really the propaganda minister for the world's elite and to qualify for that job one has to have the tongue of Satan. I could have just called him a liar but that's too obvious.

[Fledermaus]

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

[Thorliveshere]

Go all out, Bammi! Go ahead scare the country with the big, bad Wepubwicans.

[Paladin2]

Uh, Zer0;

TEA Party folks want personal Liberty, not your Community Organizing, Socialist/Marxist/Fashist/Commie vision.

FUBO.

[Paladin2]

The first "Happy" TOTUS indeed.

Get on with it, B0z0.

Your time is drawing short.

[Secret Agent Man]

The GOP wants the country to be made up of Makers. Making things, making an ever-better living, making personal goals, making good lives for themselves. Either working for themselves or another company.

The DonkAss party wants the country to be made up of Takers. Taking money from people who actually earned it, and believing they are entitled to that money for doing absolutely nothing. They are for blatant socialism and an ever increasing entitlement state THEY control.

[vrwc1]

is it just me, or is that the most juvenile, shallow fundraising pitch ever? it’s like the guy is running for Junior High class president or something. People would have to be idiots to go for drivel like that.

[hosepipe]

Actually he’s right.. BUT the democrats are far far worse..

[tickedoffnow]

Slightly lower taxes? Slightly lower spending?

Sigh...

(prior to the election)

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

After the election....

A Landslide Mandate For Change

A breakthrough election
Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Change is Here, Change is Coming

Sam Webb, National Chair, Communist Party, USA:

Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years.

In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead.

We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin.

We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region.

In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility.

Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment.

Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming?

Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency?

And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system – a system steeped in racism – no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future?

All these things are within reach now!

From the Washington Times, April 30, 2012:

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

[snip]

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has [since deleted] an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning. ..."
