Not suprising in the least that is how he views Atlas Shrugged. I don't understand why people think if we are in a state that the individual tends to themselves they think their would be no "welfare" programs. Non profits that aide those less able would still exists, they would just exist in a private format and not in a state-funded format.

Then again Obama ran around with that idiot terrorist when he was younger, his name is failing me at the moment but he bombed American monuments killed several, and is still running around a free american. Someone that consorts with terrorists can't be good.

Obama must certainly dislike Rand's philosophy because under it, government would have less power and control over its citizens' lives, choices and freedoms. (Oh, wait... the ultra-right would hate that, too...)
