Supporting Obama
Terrie Albano, as editor of the Communist Party USA newspaper Peoples Weekly World was an early and ardent backer of Barack Obama and the movement around him.
Albano wrote on the PA Editors Blog on January 31 2008[6];
- The movement that has exploded around Obama is so important. It's antiracist in essence. It's deep and broad and multiracial and multigenerational. It has insightful and sophisticated everyday people active in it. It's the cream rising to the top after the long horrendous period of the Bush administration and ultra right rule since Reagan.
- But even if Obama doesn't win and Hillary Clinton does, getting rid of any ultra rightist will take this country forward. And the movement around Obama will influence Clinton.
- This kind of upsurge comes around just once in a lifetime. I hope for all progressives - each of us - get involved. Don't stand on the sidelines. Be active. Don't let history pass you by.
