These monsters wish to truly GOVERN AND RULE people, not let them alone. Not let them pursue their own happiness.

“But free, independent men are truly hated by our ‘leaders,’ who are power-lusters first class. ‘Governing’ otherwise free men — making them think and act in ways free men might not otherwise think or act — is their chief and principal end. If the element of compulsion or force were not woven into their laws, they would have no interest in such legislation — they would have no reason to act, no reason to seek office, no reason to persuade their future serfs and slaves that it is in their best interests to become serfs and slaves.” (Ayn Rand).

I’m appalled that these two monsters are on the same list as Benjamin Franklin who along our other founding fathers laid it all on the line to fight against what was then the mightiest military force known to man in order to gain our freedom.

I’ve heard this one before and I hardly understand the argument. Why don’t people take the time to do simple research and discover the history of his family before spouting off some canned partisan political point.

First, he was raised by his single mother and grandparents in a small apartment in Honolulu. They worked hard to put him through a good school, but it isn’t exactly like his tuition was funded by a trust fund. His grandfather never found a vocation. His grandmother began her career as a bank teller in a bank, taking the bus everyday to work. She rose to the position of vice-president of the bank after 30 years of hard work in her own right.

As for his college, I’m sure that he received scholarships and grants – but he also took out loans to pay for his undergrad and law school. He was still paying for his college loans until “Audacity of Hope” became a best seller.

Also, you don’t get on the Law Review any where just by being black. It has to do with your grades, which are done anonymously (at least this has been my experience of law school). Those that finish in the top of their class are invited to join. Obama becoming President of the Law Review was a matter of working with different political factions.
