• • Obama: Ayn Rand Is for Teens 
Kevin Spak, Newser Paul Ryan  | In one [Rolling Stone interview] answer that’s already got people talking, Obama was asked about Paul Ryan’s “obsession” with Ayn Rand. Obama said he had read Rand’s work. “Ayn Rand is one of those things that a lot of us, when we were 17 or 18 and feeling misunderstood, we’d pick up. Then, as we got older, we realize that a world in which we’re only thinking about ourselves … that’s a pretty narrow vision.”   Published: 2012-10-26
