"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."

[Puddleglum]

Gee, how much did Obama and millionaire O’Biden donate to charity willingly? We all know it was a pittance. I know old church ladies whose “widow’s mite” adds up to more than what ol’ Joe has given over his career.

I have a right to spend my hard earned money any way I wish. If I want to give my money to the Church, or to the Tommy Nobis Center, or to the women’s homeless shelter, or to the lady who cleans houses for a living, it’s MY choice.

No one - NO ONE - has the right to decide how I spend my money.

NO ONE OBAMA!

[MarMema]

I feel sick when I think about next week.
I am trying to be ready for the worst.

[Lady Heron]

So using your vote to steal other peoples money is a virtue???? I think the dems have become the definition of evil.

[Cricket24]

It is NOT selfishness to want to keep your hard earned money. It not selfishness to keep any money, even inherited. It’s your right to decide what you want to do with it. I am so sick of Obama. This man is an idiot and isn’t qualified to be a dog catcher!

[MrB]

That’s gonna be a big question to ask any 0bama supporter you run in to:

Hey, how much extra did you pay in taxes last year, above what you were required to?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

ABC???

[numberonepal]

Rational selfishness is indeed a virtue you ignorant lib-tard.

[AD from SpringBay]

He either cracked or he thinks he has enough support to force it through and it doesn’t matter if other people oppose it. This might be the case considering he rejected those opposing newspapers from his plane. This is how he would govern - if you don’t like it, too bad!

[Mac from Cleveland]

Which would fit with this description of those who want to keep their hard-earned tax dollars country as "selfish..."

[TSgt]

[skeeter]

Any government employee who calls ANYONE else 'selfish' deserves to have their head forceably soaked.

Bureaucrats and politicians are the greediest organisms on this planet.

[Paine in the Neck]

This *has* to be his jump the shark moment.

[new cruelty]

The boy is a babbling idiot.

[windsorknot]

I take it that BO isn’t a big Adam Smith fan.

[HungarianGypsy]

I have a bunch of debt I am in. I would vote for him if he pays all of everyone’s debt with his OWN money. Do I hear crickets?

[mombi]

0bama thinks it is OK for the government to be selfish.

[Mr. Jeeves]

"It's unclear if this was a nod to the Ayn Rand book "The Virtue of Selfishness," with all that the invocation of Rand implies."

Invoking Rand pisses off ALL the right people. It's as good as a magic wand for detecting enemies of capitalism. ;)

[numberonepal]

I am trying to be ready for the worst.

Chin up patriot! We're going to win this thing. Have YOU convinces two reasonable Obama supporters to switch sides? You've got all the intellectual ammunition you need right here on good 'ole FR. Use it, or you just might lose it.

[BuckeyeTexan]

What would Obama know about virtues?
