This lapse dooms them to looting others, leaving poverty and thuggery as their legacy.

How is Obama going to make money for the USA? Looting the rich for the coffers of the state does nothing to make money for the nation.

Eisenhower said it clearly as he began the task of dismantling the worst parts of FDR's New Deal in 1952, "Parceling out scarcities is not economic justice."

All the left knows howe to to do is rob Peter to give money to Paul. Paul is happy, but he is unable to provide for himself and needs the state thugs to keep giving him handouts. As for Peter, pretty soon he realizes he's screwed in the US and moves his business and subsidiaries somewhere else where he doesn't get a gun shoved in his face and robbed and in the meanwhile he saves some dollars by cutting corners on quality, outsourcing everything possible to be outsourced and using illegal labor in the US.

So Obama is more of the same.

He has no clue how to make money - that's why he entered politics.

When do we get a President that is also a successful entrepreneur instead of a lawyer and lifelong bureaucrat feeding at treasuries? When do we get a President that knows how to teach citizens about making money and wealth generation?

Our factories are shut down and manufacturing jobs and plants now make money for other nations. Bureaucracy generates ZIP. Service jobs generate ZIP. The real wealth is in creation of goods. And that's where we are falling behind.

Where's an objectivist President when one needs one?
