Comments on: President Obama! Now What? http://www.freecapitalistdaily.com/2008/11/president-obama-now-what/726 Daily Updates on Capitalism from the world's most committed Capitalist— Rick Koerber Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:47:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: JMartins http://www.freecapitalistdaily.com/2008/11/president-obama-now-what/726/comment-page-1#comment-606 JMartins Sun, 09 Nov 2008 22:30:22 +0000 http://daily.freecapitalist.com/?p=726#comment-606 Barack Obama is the very epitome of an empty suit, and his election speaks volumes of the cultural decline in the United States. Not only has be been lying and shifting his positions consistently throughout the entire campaign, while even holding two separate positions at the same time, but previous to his election he had accomplished nothing. He had accomplished nothing in his life, yet he decided to write an autobiography about it – and despite the fact that he now has written two books about himself, we still don't really know anything about him as a person. We don't even know if he's using his real name, or if he was born in the United States at all. I'll venture to say that he holds no values, and has no self. He has the soul of a collectivist, as described in Ayn Rand's "For the New Intellectual". I still hold some hope for the future however. Not only due to the efforts of the FreeCapitalist Project, the Ayn Rand Institute and the Campaign for Liberty, but because I believe that just as the Carter-administration resulted in a Ronald Reagan landslide, the Obama-administration may have a similar effect. This, of course, relies on us doing the groundwork and influencing the culture enough so that pro-capitalist candidates will rise from the ashes of the GOP.
