Alan Greenspan
Ben Bernanke

I've heard Alan Greenspan was an Objectivist - and he was definitely in Ayn Rand circle initially... but IIRC she rejected him, don't remember why...

As doe Ben Bernanke... source?

source for Jolie in CFR: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20041839,00.html
But not everyone in the CFR is looking to destroy the U.S. Two good ones that come to mind are Amity Shlaes and Andrew Bacevich.

I don't think Rand ever rejected Greenspan, but has expressed doubts about him:

Indeed, well before Greenspan had managed to make it into the upper circles of the Washington social scene, Ayn Rand had asked Nathaniel Branden: "Do you think Alan might basically be a social climber?"

It is Greenspan's relationship with Rand that even today drives the myth that Alan Greenspan is or was a doctrinaire free-marketeer. Sheehan disputes this version of history, noting that "Rand and Branden were instinctively suspicious of Greenspan's motivations" and that "Branden recalls a man without philosophical inclinations.

Sources? I am fan of Montel, because even after Obama ramped up the Afghanistan War, he had Ron on his show, Montel Across America, and he agreed completely with his anti-war rhetoric. D.L. I am almost positive was pro-Obama.

I am thinking the latter two fall into the Jon Stewart camp. They support Obama/Democrats, but they like Ron above all other Republicans since he agrees with them on several issues.

WOW. I have never seen greenspan fluster like that. He was lying like a dog and almost shit himself when he brought rand up. Greenspan knows damn right she would have been against the fed. She wrote for days about it. and yes she rejected him. I don't know the exact reason but i think it had something to do with him joining the dark side of the force.
