And I thought that I was the only one that saw the similarities in today's society and this book!!! I feel slightly different though. I feel that it was the Bush administration that made it feel more like we were living in the days of Atlas Shrugged. He reminds me so much of James Taggart it isn't funny. That man got this country into a big mess, while continuing to say things that basically boiled down the the cries of Jim "It couldn't be helped, it isn't my fault, there was nothing else that I could do". Plus, with him simply throwing money at us as a last ditch attempt to make things better didn't help things either (Bush that is) I may get a lot of flack for this, but I would belive Obama to be a Dagny Taggart or even a John Galt, for the simple fact he is not just handing money that we don't have out, but he is rewarding those who are willing to work to get this country back on track.

I understand your position from previous responses you have made, and I know you are against the spending that Obama has started. However I believe that Obama is either Dagny or John because the programs he is spending on are things that are to keep the nation afloat and cause it to be self-sufficient, unlike Bush who tended to spend on programs that were of personal interest to him and his family. I believe Obama to be of the nature of these characters because even though he is spreading money, which can be mistaken to be of the motives of James Taggart, he is rewarding work because that is what the nation needs, things that work, generate money.
I've read the book at least three times on whim alone, I suggest YOU study further into Obama's policies and plans to get back on track.

But that is not what John Galt did nor is it what Obama is doing. Where did John Galt take money from one group of individual by force and give it to another group that did not earn it? Obama's plan will not make anyone self-sufficient. How does government ownership of the auto industry create self-sufficient? Look you can try to convince me that Obama is John Galt all you want to, but he is James Taggert. Like I said show me where in Atlas Shrugged or from Ayn Rand's Objectivist teaching that Obama is right?
