Don Feder: Zinn And The Art Of Obama's Marxism

Barack Obama’s Marxism-flash in Roanoke, VA. is still making headlines. Campaigning for the Senate in Boston last week, Harvard Hag Elizabeth Warren reminded us that not only did government build the roads, but also educated the semi-literate workers businesses have to hire. Only someone who’s spent their adult life in an academic Cloud Cuckoo land would think government did business a huge favor by cranking out public school graduates who need to take off their shoes to do higher math and think the Monroe Doctrine refers to an actress born Norma Jean.

Obama’s you-didn’t-build-that comments were the most telling moment in the campaign so far. The president is bitter and frustrated, due to his inability to run away from Romney in the polls.

Hence his off-script spasm in Roanoke, where he sounded like the villain in an Ayn Rand novel: “Look, you’ve been successful. Look, you didn’t get there on your own.…I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart…. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else,” said the man who’s played 100 rounds of golf since taking office. President Hunsacker continued: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help…. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made it happen…. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.” (If government had invented the Internet, it would operate with the same speed as the U.S. Postal Service.)
