Socialist Leader Says Obama Unstoppable : Comrade Barbara Ehrenreich Speaks

Comrade Barbara Ehrenreich an Honorary Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America is excited about Obama:
The promise of "change" is what drives the Obama juggernaut, and "change" means wanting out of wherever you are now.
and this gem from Comrade Ehrenreich:
So yes, there's a powerful emotional component to Obama-mania, and not just because he's a far more inspiring speaker than his rival. We, perhaps white people especially, look to him for atonement and redemption. All of us, of whatever race, want a fresh start. That's what "change" means right now: Get us out of here!
Here's what change means to Comrade Ehrenreich and the Democratic Socialists of America:
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit
You'll be left with pocket change.
