All of you "Atlas Shrugged" readers, John Stossel is doing a poll on what current political figure is most like Wesley Mouch.

Here's your chance!

Atlas Shrugged Poll
Next week, we will finally air the Atlas Shrugged hour. 52  years ago, Ayn Rand wrote a novel that describes much of what's happening in America now: explosive growth of government, an increasing number of rules, and more busybody bureaucrats and politicians, like Rand's villain, Wesley Mouch.

On the show, I ask my guests: Who, today, is most like Wesley Mouch? But for now, I’d like to know what YOU think. Who is today's Wesley Mouch?

Who is most like Wesley Mouch?
Tim Geithner

Barack Obama

George W. Bush

Barney Frank

Nancy Pelosi

Obama is Mr. Thompson to a T.

I'd say Barney Frank.  He worked closest with the Orren Boyle's of the world with the Community Reinvestment Act where good companies couldn't resist governement intervention.

It would have to be  Geithner
, as Mouch never held an elected position did he?\

He was Reardon's mouth piece before getting a position in the administration.

I think Fwank fits better as Eugene Lawson

Thompson was the assumed president.

He wasn't on the list, but Charles Rangel (D-NY) would be perfect for the role of Mouch.

Of the choices, I'll go with B. Frank.  There are many others that would fit, though...
