Barack Obama has attacked the last 8 years of GOP rule as a period where the middle-class of America lost much of their purchasing power. The ‘Trickle-down’ theory failed because the Rich got so rich that they couldn’t spend the money fast enough and the Democratic nominee for President suggested that it is time to ‘spread the wealth’.
The right wing flaks and attack hounds have seized on these three words as if the Illinois senator had proposed armed revolution against the upper classes.
“At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives,” His opponent John McCain continued the assault and we can expect to hear someone say, “Goddamn commie.” before too long.
“Goddamn commies want to socialize medicine.”
“Goddamn commies want to surrender in Iraq.”
“Goddamn commies want to save the goddamn squirrels.”
Yes, those goddamn commies want so much, but mostly to get GF Bush out of the White House.
