THE PRESIDENT SAYS you’ve got enough money. “During a conference at which I just spoke, the owner of several companies showed me a pair of cufflinks he?d just had custom-made, engraved with the words ‘Who Is John Galt?’ If the president isn?t familiar with Ayn Rand?s Galt, he might want to read up. This business owner said the cuff-links were the last item other than absolute necessities that he would buy until Obama was an ex-president. He said he was sending out a letter to the restaurants and shops he patronized, his dry cleaners, the service companies that tended his lawns at his homes ? over 200 different business owners ? letting them know that President Obama had determined he was making too much money and was too rich for reason.
