BARACK OBAMA AND AYN RAND: Reader Edward Clark emails:

Obama seems to have taken note of the John Galt talk. He recently made the comment that McCain was trying to make a virtue out of selfishness.

I seem to recall another Ayn Rand book called The Virtue of Selfishness. Maybe he is hoping for people to Go John Galt for some unknown reason.

Maybe Obama is a closet Randian, and all the lefties are the real rubes. Also, maybe I’ll get a pony. Or a unicorn.

UPDATE: Understanding the virtue of selfishness!
