Capitalist media hail Obama's win in Empire's electoral pageantry

As the terrorist face of the U.S. Empire--as represented by the Reagan-Bush dynasty of the last 28 years--finally is rejected by a disgruntled electorate, Capitalist media abruptly switched to hailing Obama's big win as the beginning of a "new era" for continuing the Imperial project...
But no amount of Corporate diatribes can reverse the rapidly declining (mis)fortunes of the USA Evil Empire. The decades-long militarist invasions and illegal wars of aggression have drained the Federal treasury into virtual insolvency. Only the de facto bailouts by the Chinese and the OPEC oil emirates' governments have so far propped up the world's #1 financial deadbeat. But how long will those authoritarian regimes continue to keep the Evil Empire on life support, without extracting longterm concessions from the American Pauper?

Obama's win at the electoral pageantry means the Empire's Fascist Fundamentalist program will now try to dampen and ultimately channel the overwhelming urge for "Change" into a modified but deadend version of Empire Lite, with the naked Iron Fist of Militarism being masked by the face of a black apologist for the new, reality-weakened Dictatorship of Private Profitariat. The big question is, will the masses obediently accept the new Privatized Paradigm? Stay tuned for the upcoming protracted struggle between the top 1% elite vs. the slowly-awakening activist wing of the remaining 99% proletarians...
