I was wondering what you thought Obama’s suggested problem solvers regarding freedom, liberty, and individual rights should be. Also, basing this the next question under the assumption of the general ignorance of the population regarding these values and what they mean to your organization, would it really matter if Obama had said that freedom is the way to solve our problems? Again, I’m new to this site, and I’ve just started to read Ayn Rand's "atlas shrugged," so I would love to hear your insight and understand the subject more. Thank you.

I have created a President Hussein cartoon with that very theme in mind.

That's because the USA already has individual rights, liberty and freedom. I'm glad he didn't fall back on those buzz words that really have no meaning anymore. He talked about actions, not ideals. Ideals are great for philosophers, but suck in practical use. Bush spouted rhetoric about freedom and liberty without any actions and we got a depression. Obama got voted in because people were fed up with the same rhetoric that doesn't have a plan of action. “That was the message of President Obama’s State of the Union address, which named dozens of problems in America and not once suggested that individual rights, liberty, or freedom were the solution.”
