Bottom up/Reverse Coat tail Effect, and Vote
for "Socialism" Gives Obama Victory


Due to GOP loony right attacks on Barak Obama's
"socialism," the socialist agenda with a bottom up/
reverse coat tail effect gave Obama a victory in the
USA on this November election day. Democrats made
a large gain of new seats in the US House of Representatives
and surely garnering a much larger margin than Obama,
with the party gains where these Democrats were seen as
"heeding the siren song of socialism" as Dwight
D Eisenhower once got attacked by Barry Goldwater
as doing early in his administration. This is a win
for sanity at least, and nuclear war with Moscow at
least for now, even with Moscow's first strike policy
on nuclear weapons which none of the US mainstream
media would talk about, is less likely. With McCain, nuclear
war was a virtual certainty, given his complete unstable
character, which Obama's campaign never talked
about unfortunately.

The American people clearly were voting for that
idea from the island of Britain that "Those who create
the wealth should share in the fruits of their labor." That's
something that British labor, a party which backed democratic
socialism used to say it stood for very directly. This country's
people have now come around to seeing, after all these years
of the multi national businesses here waging a class war on
everybody else, it's time to stand up to this gang and put a
stop to this, putting the wealth back in the hands of the working
people, whether they call themselves middle class or working
class, as they created this wealth. Even Adam Smith in his
classic book The Wealth of Nations, said the rich didn't create
the wealth, and thus without maybe spelling it out, was saying
that others, thus working people however they refer to themselves
had created the wealth. This is all the more telling as Smith's
work was a defense of classic British capitalism.

This is thus a great moment, at least in terms of the raising
of consciousness of the American people on this matter. The
people here are saying they want the wealth back that Wall
Street and their gang ripped off from them and to have those running
this country's political system to do so in the interests and for the
benefit of them instead of the Wall Street and other pimps of
the prostitutes of American politics. They're saying it's time for
the prostitutes in political office to get themselves to legal whore
houses in Nevada and be done with it.

As usual the US mainstream, loony right/far right
echo chamber media with al its political prostituting
for Wall Street and their ilk got it wrong talking
about how it was a coat tail effect for Obama with
his careful strategy, even though he clearly was
running behind the party in the overall contests for
the US House of Representatives, with people voting
in new Democrats the voters perceived would oppose
the continuation of the rip neo con give away to Wall
Street and especially the pay off of the $700 billion
ranson note to the Wall Street bank robbers led by Hank
Paulson and their "we'll shut the country's economy down
unless. . ." This election has been a rejection of 28 years
of misrule of this country on behalf of Wall Street and
other assorted hard core criminals. The people have said
they want to bring an end to neo constipation of the
USA and they have done what they could to provide
the equivalent of Castor Oil to do the job! Let the
people's will be done!

The US mainstream media tried to put the spin on
the election being a top down affair taking place
with Obama providing coat tails, which is absolutely
false. A coat tail effect is only there when the top of the
ticket is running a ahead of its US House candidates
by more than a bit, and this wasn't the case at all. Even
mainstream media were saying the Democrats would
make decent gains in the House before ever calling
the presidential race for Obama, thus contradicting their
BS about a top down/coat tail effect which they were making
up out of whole cloth.

A less than hard hitting campaign except at the end has
likely cost Obama some political strength, but he can
remedy that by mobilizing bottom up support for a
"socialist" agenda that Johnny "Maverick" hit so hard
at the end of his campaign in absolute political desperation.

Push progressive legislation through with a "damn
the torpedoes, full speed ahead" thrust. Put the jack
asses on the run from the start. Probably Obama won't
do this, but Obama will also likely be a one term president
with the economic and other problems awaiting him if he
doesn't.

But a progressive social movement is afoot, and
needs to keep the pressure on for progressive action.
This movement must keep the pressure on on domestic
and foreign policy. Move to the left, Obama, or ruin the
country and plan on one term in the White House. Remember
that talk of "It's not about me. It's about you."
