A: They're really unhappy that Obama won. And they're really having a hard time dealing with this whole economic stimulus package. They're totally opposed to that kind of government. I talked to people who had bad holidays, who had a hard time getting through the inauguration, are disappointed in their country, are sad about the direction this country is going. And it's not getting better, it's getting worse. They're looking at this, "We're all socialists now," and they're not laughing. The Newsweek cover, “We're all Socialists Now”, I got like literally a dozen calls the day that Newsweek came out. I don't know what Newsweek's intentions were, but that is terrifying to a lot of people.

I remember Elaine Tornero in Reynoldsburg, Ohio: She called me and said, "I drive through downtown Columbus, Ohio, and I see these iconic, artistic images of Barack Obama with the word 'Hope' under it, and I feel like I'm living in Castro's Cuba."
^^^^ CB: Gee I wonder if O's being dark skinned had anything to do with her feeling ?
All of which is why I said in response to the criticism of O for not "nationalizing" the banks that
Obama's use of "American culture" is a euphemism for "hardline, fanatically anti-communist ideology drummed into everybody's head for the 40 years up until 20 years ago, the former third rail of American politics before the SU became former." He's not really sure that the ghost of
McCarthy is exorcised; and he is not going to give the Republicans a "cultural" stick to beat him with.
And Goliath is trying to foment mobiness in this crowd:
