To no one's surprise, the leaders of the Communist Party USA see Barack Obama's election as the biggest step forward intheir agenda since FDR in 1932. FDR placed massive controls and restrictions on business, implemented major tax increases on the wealthy, put together makework programs to funnel money to the poor and middle class,and tripled the size of government... all before World War II kicked off in 1939.
In stark contrast to the liberas' expectations, these programs are credited with prolonging the Great Depression, until massive deficit spending for WWII armaments finally got things going again.
Now we have a president-elect who favors doing much of it all over again. Small wonder the CP-USA loves it.

Communist Party USA leaders – including one who spoke with tears in his eyes – held a confab at which they celebrated the election of Barack Obama as "the biggest political realignment since the 1930s" and urged the immediate implementation of socialist policies.
The People's Weekly World, a weekly newspaper affiliated with the Communist Party USA, or CPUSA, reported on a meeting last week of top party leaders who celebrated Obama's election and announced a call to action to "carry out the election mandate, including immediate government steps to help Americans hit by the economic crisis and bringing peace to Iraq and Afghanistan."
CPUSA National Chairman Sam Webb noted the election represented "a necessary first step toward a new society."
He stated that a required remedy to the country's financial crisis "is massive fiscal expansion, large injections of federal money into the economy [to fund public works job programs, extend jobless benefits and food stamps and help Americans hold onto their homes]."
The communist newspaper reported party leaders attending the meeting supported projecting socialism as a fundamental solution to America's woes, claiming the U.S. is "now open to hearing more about [socialism]."
"We need to put out our vision of socialism and how it will come about," Webb stressed.
CPUSA Political Action Chair Joelle Fishman posited that new U.S. policy should "call for taking the profits out of basic needs like health care and energy and explore public ownership."
"At the same time, we should be part of the movement that puts the wind at Obama's back," Fishman added.
The communist newspaper described how CPUSA Executive Vice Chairman Jarvis Tyner – with tears in his eyes – hailed Obama's victory as "[showing] magnificently what our people are made of."
