During the CPUSA's National Convention, the National Chair, Sam Webb had this to say about Obama:

Change is Here, Change is Coming
by Sam Webb, National Chair, 07/01/2009
(Remarks to National Committee Meeting June 20, 2009)

I make no attempt to be comprehensive in these remarks. My aim is much more modest, as you will see.

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!

Today is our nation's birthday. It commemorates the great struggle that severed our colonial dependence on Britain and gave a fresh impulse to the unending struggle for freedom.

Revolutions are never complete. While expanding the boundaries and possibilities of freedom, our revolution also had its limitations: the abominable institution of slavery remained; political rights were limited to white male property holders; the new nation was formed on lands unlawfully and violently expropriated from Native American peoples; and the revolution unfolded in a nascent bourgeois society, which over time widened many of the inequalities that were embedded in colonial life.

Nonetheless, the American Revolution constituted a landmark in human history. For the first time sovereignty and consent rested, not with a king, not with an aristocratic order, not with a church, but with the people. Freedom was proclaimed a universal right of humankind. And many old modes of deference and hierarchy melted away.

The revolution of 1776 set the stage for the second American Revolution in 1865—culminating in the abolition of slavery—and subsequent struggles to expand boundaries and impart new content to freedom.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the greatest leader in our land in the 20th Century, was well aware of the limitations of our revolution. Yet he heralded its achievements and ideals and challenged the nation to live up to full meaning of its creed.
That challenge has yet to be fulfilled, although in electing President Barak Obama our nation took another step down freedom road.
Let's celebrate this Independence Day with family and friends, while recommitting ourselves to complete that journey in the years ahead

I think it's hilarious that the same group who believe in proselytizing via exporting war would ever condemn the idea of doing exactly the same thing.

Somethings funny I agree. :eek:lol:

Some quotes from Barry obamba;

"So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America."
A great threat to American freedom.

"Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation."
We still are, no matter what the pc crowd may say!!

"As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam."
The civilized world owes islam exactly jack$41T.

"I made clear that America is not - and never will be - at war with Islam."
Only if we do not defend ourselves from islam which is at war with us by their own words and deeds.

"As the Holy Koran tells us, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth."
(except for the statue of taqqia which preaches deception and fraud for the achievement of islam.)

"Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism - it is an important part of promoting peace."
(BRAVO SIERRA)

"In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education."
(Is there anyone on this board ignorant enough to believe the patently BS statement??)

"......if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world".
There are several places where people can sign petitions to enact a moratorium on muslim immigration to America, it seems like anybody with half a brain would sign on, but that's just me.

"But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors."
That would sell well in Kuwait no doubt, that is just stupid. I still say Saddam was behind the OKC bomb

".....throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."
In some fantacy world perhaps, but not in reality at all, this statment is directed to the ignorant of the world and an insult to the intelligence of those with any sort of rudimentary knowledge of history.

"The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."

Gee whiz, ever stop to think the koran is unholy as all hell?

"America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."
That statement is only true if Amerca submits to the rule of islam. That statement is the epitome of mumbo jumbo politics.

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12, obambi would never ever misrepresent the facts, jeez, wonder if the same math has to do with bailouts etc???

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
One left to go is hell itself imo, a just end for this liar.

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Characterizing mainstream America.

“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was (supposedly) born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

"Global warming is a serious problem. Uh, i-it's not just some tree hugger, you know, uhhh, sprout eatin' liberal thing. You know, the polar ice caps are melting. Temperatures are getting warmer in the oceans, and it could wreck (sic) havoc on our agriculture. It could increase insect-borne diseases."
This must mean we need to use that suppostion to gain a fascist style control of all energy supplies.

"I mean, it could really m-mess things up, making hurricanes and tornadoes much more powerful and change w-weather patterns fundamentally. So we've got to take this seriously, and I've got the most aggressive plan to try to roll back, uhh, global warming."
Paranoia personified.

"The point I was making was not that my grandmother, uh, harbors any, uh, racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is, uh, a typical white person who if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's bred into our experiences that -- that doesn't go away and that sometimes come out in -- in the wrong way."
Egads, how horrible it would be to be a typical white person.

"It's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't just the cruelty involved, I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our better laughter. It was as if whites didn't know they were being cruel in the first place or at least thought you deserving of their scorn."

Jeez, are those white folks ever mean and cruel or what?

“There’s nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude... He didn’t just cross the line.... He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America.”

What? That there was a question about his birth certificate?
