Is the left going bonkers over Howard Schultz? Like some malfunctioning clockwork still partly moving, weird Obama 'narratives' from Obama minions are rolling out, dysfunctional and yet still recognizable.
Schultz, see, after all of his success as the visionary chief executive officer of Starbucks, "didn't build that."
Nope, he owes his success to having lived in the government-run 'projects' as a poor kid growing up in Brooklyn in the 1950s. Like that gave him some kind of advantage instead of actually worked to thwart him.
There's a reason the U.S. government doesn't build housing 'projects' anymore - remember this?
That's the Democrat talking point now, at least for the most ambitious ones, sucking up to the Obama line and wheeling out the Obama nostalgia.

Guys like Friedman are citing the superiority of Big Government over individual initiative and telling Schultz he'd be nothing without Big State, so running for president as an independent is a bad idea because what he should really be doing is trusting the Democrats.
Like him or not, Howard Schultz is a perfect 10. On the famous Forbes billionaire's list (Full disclosure: I once helped compile it), Schultz got a ranking of '10' in terms of how he acquired his Starbucks wealth. A
ranking of '1' reserved for someone who completely inherited his pile and isn't doing a thing to increase it. A '10' is reserved for someone who started at the absolute bottom with significant disadvantages, broke the shackles, and soared to the top. S
chultz is in that tiny club with a '10,' and in America, that's the highest status one can get, the biggest kind of American success story. Only in America...and yes, he did revolutionize business.
Fortunately, Friedman has made himself a figure of fun with that idiocy. Here's a sample of what came back at him on Twitter:
