Tom Brokaw works for Obama’s new administration. The paycheck signed by NBC is just for show, so Brokaw can claim to be “objective”.

I guess he’s not a big fan of Ayn Rand, then.

Two birds sharing the same feathers...

The entrepreneur doesn’t think “what’s in it for me”, he thinks, “what do people want, and how can I give it to them”.

"statement by the president-elect that working for your own financial benefit is "not good for anybody"

YEAH...everyone working for the STATE is the ultimate goal of this commie.....

[pabianice]

I rub my hands in glee, rekishing... RELISHING... the joy I will have watching the failed Obama administration collapse.

[RichInOC]

Mmyeah, Senator. Good luck explaining that to this guy:

“We want pie! We want pie!”

[TheThinker]

if our entire economic policy is premised on the notion that greed is good and what's in it for me, it turns out that that's not good for anybody

Tell that to the unions crippling our manufacturing industry.

“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” must not be in his memory banks.

Anybody have a picture of Obama’s Chicago house they can post? Seems appropriate to see how the Preacher of Poverty lives.

For those who are responsible, self-sufficient, savers, or planning-for-their-future types, it’s “what are they taking from me to give to somebody else?” that worries us.....

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Yes, when Americans head out for work every day, they should be thinking more about how they can give loafers sleeping in more of their hard-earned money instead of worrying about making ends meet in their own families.

That kind of selfish attitude has got to come to an end.

[lookout88]

yeah, we are all going to be on Obama’s friggen chain gangs building friggen roads. F it. Give me liberty, or give me death.

[earlJam]

Wasn’t that Obama’s campaign theme?

You could go to his website and calculate “What’s in it for me.”

[realdifferent1]

***...greed is good and what's in it for me, it turns out that that's not good for anybody...***

His whole campaign was based on 'spread the wealth', but now it's a bad thing?

Dear Barry,

As soon as you sell your fancy house, return the profits from your books, return your wife's fancy ring, go to a state park and camp out for vacation instead of an elite area of Hawaii and put your children in public school...I'll believe your drivel. Until that time I consider you a hypocrite. And a selfish one at that.

The thing is, I don't begrudge you any of those things. And conversely, you shouldn't begrudge any one else by trying to guilt people (selfish) for wanting the same.

As soon as I receive my check from YOU from your OWN personal bank account to pay my rent and gasoline, I'll look at “spreading the wealth” from MY bank account.But, being a lowly tax paying citizen, I don't guess I'll get the privilege of that choice.

Sincerely, /s

Berdie
