Communist Party Ecstatic over Obama Win
Why am I not surprised?
Hailing Barack Obama's win as a victory for the "working class," the Communist Party USA is calling on the president-elect to carry out his promises, including his noted commitment to "spread the wealth."
An editorial by the People's Weekly World said the victory was for "workers of all job titles, professions, shapes, colors, sizes, hairstyles and languages."

The paper said Obama's victory is "important … not only for people here in the U.S., but also for our sisters and brothers around the world."
"The election outcome represents a clear mandate for pro-people change on taxes, health care, the war in Iraq, job creation and economic relief, union organizing and the Employee Free Choice Act. Reform and relief are in the air. Their scope and depth will be the arena of struggle. The best thing the coalition that won this victory can do is to stick together and help the new administration carry through on its promises," the editorial said.
Read it all here, if you have the stomach for it.

Leave it to you to be concerned about a non existent "party."
