Obama's "righteous wind" quotes Mao, gives a nod

Obama:

I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here, but we’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to struggle. We’re going to have to fight

From the writings of Chairman Mao:

The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.

By the end of this year the victory of socialism will be greatly assured. Naturally there will be many struggles ahead and we must struggle hard.

IOW, "keep the faith while I spout centrist American campaign drivel, my neo-Marxist boosters."
