Great question, I posted this as a way to display a politicians artful "flip-flop", not to degrade Rand. I've actually not read Atlas Shrugged and have only accounts of it to go by. But enough of them that I feel as though I have read it.
You can read a pretty straight forward account of objectivism here. There's also some that claim that she lived off of government assistance at the end of her life and was thereby a hypocrite. Both alpha0 and JakobVirgl seem to have strong feelings on Rand as a "philosopher", perhaps either of you could explain the failings you see in calling objectivism a philosophy?
