What is this in reference to?

Probably his speech at Stanford. https://youtu.be/oOFH8HRnRq4

I don't know Marc personally, But I assume people like him would want people like Obama to shut up.

No, he's summarizing president Obama's speech in the plain parlance of the plebs.

Also, FYI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen

Since I gather Marc Andreessen is worth $2 Billion, he probably is positioning himself as a spokesman for us plebs. That is how things go these days.

> He is the son of Patricia and Lowell Andreessen, who worked for a seed company.

It seems that he was born a pleb. He probably knows much more about the living experience of the plebs than president Obama, whose mother was an anthropologist.
