Eye on the Prize
7/15/2008
Barack Obama is not a left candidate. This fact has seemingly surprised a number of progressive people who are bemoaning Obama’s “shift to the center.” (Right-wingers are happy to join them, suggesting Obama is a “flip-flopper.”) It’s sad that some who seek progressive change are missing the forest for the trees. But they will not dampen the wide and deep enthusiasm for blocking a third Bush term represented by John McCain, or for bringing Obama by a landslide into the White House with a large Democratic congressional majority.
A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda.
This diverse movement combines a variety of political currents and aims in a working coalition that is crucial to social progress at this point. At the core are America’s working families, of all hues and ethnicities, whose determination to move forward does not depend on, and will not be diverted by, the daily twists and turns of this watershed presidential campaign. They are taking the long view.
Notably, the labor movement has stepped up its independent mobilization for this election. It is leading an unprecedented campaign to educate and unify its ranks to elect the nation’s first African American president. Last week, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka told the Steelworkers convention that there is “no evil that’s inflicted more pain and more suffering than racism — and it’s something we in the labor movement have a special responsibility to challenge.”
If Obama’s candidacy represented nothing more than the spark for this profound initiative to unite the working class and defeat the pernicious influence of racism, it would be a transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long term.
The struggle to defeat the ultra-right and turn our country on a positive path will not end with Obama’s election. But that step will shift the ground for successful struggles going forward.
One thing is clear. None of the people’s struggles — from peace to universal health care to an economy that puts Main Street before Wall Street — will advance if McCain wins in November.
Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.
That’s right. The Communist Party Of The United States wants to elect Barack Hussein Obama as our President.
Why do you think that is?
And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?
(Imagine if a similarly storied ultra-right lunatics had endorsed John McCain? Though, of course, there is no group like that on the right.)
Still, won’t it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line Communists who supported Joseph Stalin can support?
This is the kind of “unity” Mr. Obama will bring us.

“30 years of ultra right rule…” yeah, right. I wish. How about four good years under Reagan (1980-84) and the rest of the time wasted on fuzzy MOR junk that was to true conservatism what the Bootleg Beatles were to the Beatles.

Of course, anyone who has researched Obama’s life knows he has “deep” ( there is nothing deep about this guy) connections to communism and is, in fact, a Marxist.

-’It is leading an unprecedented campaign to educate and unify its ranks to elect the nation’s first African American president.’- This scares me more - exactly what does, is the purpose or agenda of labor unions to be involved in racism or eradication of such?!?
And show me - facts please where in America racism exists? The Secretary of State is a black woman, the richest woman in America is a black woman, and oh btw, the SoS was preceeded by a black man (oh also btw, this was an ‘ultra right wing Republican’ who has that record of non-racism).
Did you notice how they began with Obamanation is not a left candidate - but drivels into a bit later that he is progressive. Whatever Obamanation is a fiberal intent on destroying the American Way, the American Dream and the Constitution to make America ripe for falling for a dictator to ’save’ us from ourselves. . .
Communism has failed (and killed) in every single country it has been attempted - why screw up (what even Obamanation says) is the Greatest Country in the World with a failed government and risk millions of American lives?
I know - because it is more equal - or it is supposed to be. This is Hope and Change that I don’t believe in nor want to even imagine.

I’m not surprised at this. They supported Clinton, Kerry, Dukakis and the “Progressive Caucus” is basically the CPUSA politburo. The only reason the ‘rats maintain themselves as a separate party is because no blue collar schmoe would vote for a “commie,” but he’ll vote reliably for a ‘rat…sole difference being party name.
Pity we don’t have truth in advertising for politicians…if we did, Nadler, Schumer, Pelosi, Waxman, Wexler, McKinney, Jefferson, Obama, Clinton (both of them), Carter and the rest of that party of traitors would be exposed for the communists they are.

IMO, Obama and his supporters will make Fidel Castro look like a happy go lucky guy who just wanted all his slaves to love him.
“Basically, what Obama is talking about is creating a Committee for the Defense of Liberal Ideology and Political correctness funded by a half trillion taxpayer dollars. National Security for this crowd is not about stopping terrorists from killing our children. National Security means to teach our children to understand the terrorists and their motivations so that our children can learn how to live their lives submissively so as not to offend the sensitivities of the very sensitive America haters.”

The way to stop communists in America from gaining more power now is to stop Obama and his supporters at the voting booth. The Cubans never got that chance to stop Castro.
