Obama Is Stimulated The Sell Of Atlas Shrugged

See Obama stimulating the economy one book at a time, LOL!

You know what's funny? The idiot libs that work with him were so upset when they saw he was reading it. I was like WTF?? I mean, what does it tell you when libs act like a book should be banned?

It really should be required reading. Not that the educational collective would ever let that happen. What would America do with some truly energized ambitious youth? 'Animal Farm' by Orwell is just the beginning. 'Atlas' Shrugged takes it up another notch.

Exactly. The whole Objectivist philosophy is that the workers are the most valued and vital part of any society. Without those that produce something, there would be nothing.

Please reread the book if you actually think Obama is John Galt or Dagny Taggart. In the book Obama is James Taggart how can you not see that?

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?

I will never try to convince you of anything on this site; however I will defend to the death my opinion. One thing you fail to factor in is that neither James Taggart nor John Galt ran a country, especially one in the wake of what a true Jim Taggart i.e. George Bush does to a country. Bush only spent on the things that were of personal interest and make the country seem "rich" and "powerful" on the surface, but on the inside we were falling apart. Isn't that the theme of the villians in that story hmm?

Also, and it's been quite some time since I've read this part of the book so if I err please feel free to correct; didn't John Galt have a tax that was paid by everybody in the land that Dagny crashed into, which was paid to the Mulligan Bank (?), and used for the good of everyone in that valley, which was a valley of people that worked? This is the part of the book that is similar to Obama's plan. He is taking the hard earned dollars of the taxpayer, and putting them into programs that will help those who are hard working to get ahead.

You asked me to show you where in Atlas Shrugged that Obama is right, I ask you to show me where he isn't.

This has gone on long enough. If I had wrote a discussion that said Obama is stimulating sell of the Bible you would try to convince the me that Jesus is Obama and Satan is Bush.
If Ayn Rand was alive today she would not believe that you actually believe that Obama who believes Looting from the producers is John Galt. All I got to say is you are hopeless.

If I had wrote a discussion that said Obama is stimulating sell of the Bible you would try to convince the me that Jesus is Obama and Satan is Bush.

I do think Obama is a great person, but Jesus he is not. However, you may be on to something about Bush being Satan lol.

Seriously though, you are the one that there is no hope for. You are so against Obama himself that you fail to see what he is doing to help the economy. Yes, most of us believe in Lassiez Faire, but that was thrown out the window when the automotive industry and the banks kept going back to the government for handouts. I know the ideal is that they get no money from government at all to run business, but isn't it better that government place some regulations on the monies they get? Or would you rather they continue getting handouts as they were? But I do have to agree, the way that the automotive industry handled it reminds me a lot of James Taggart, special favors and whatnot.

What Obama is doing is restructuring after the mess that Bush left. The automotive industry is one of the backbones of US society, and that is what Obama is trying to save. You keep looking at this like the favor James Taggart showed Owen Boyle over Hank Rearden, and the situation is more like Dagny trying to save the Rio Norte line in order to save all of Taggart Transcontinental. But you don't have to believe it works. In May, in my state, there were 2100 LESS claims for unemployment than the month before. These people aren't just simply existing on air, they have had to do something, like ummm FIND A JOB in order to let that pittance go, or just not apply. Obama must be doing something right.

P.S. Sorry it took me so long to reply, had a tough time finding the discussion again
