Communist Party USA high on Obama

Barack Obama An anti-communist activist is not surprised that the Communist Party USA has written a glowing editorial about Barack Obama. The editorial, titled "Eye on the Prize," was published in the group's official newspaper The People's Weekly World.

 

According to the editorial, "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 the nation forward with a progressive movement."

 

The editorial ended by saying "One thing is clear. None of the people's struggles -- from peace, to universal healthcare, 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."

 

D.J. McGuire is president of the China e-Lobby. "This is the way CPUSA works. They basically try to hitch a ride on the latest left-wing vehicle and hope it gets them somewhere. It doesn't surprise me [in] the least," he maintains. "I think...the bigger danger is what this tells us in terms of foreign policy more than anything else, because the CPUSA has been very consistently opposed to anything that advances American interests," says McGuire.
 
The anti-communist activist says if the CPUSA is that happy with Obama, then clearly he is not someone who is willing to advance American interests anywhere -- and therefore should not be given the keys to the White House.
