I think he's talking about the book showing what could happen if the government oversteps it's role and ruins the economy as a result, which would make President Obama something like the equivalent of Wesley Mouch.
Exactly. I'm not picking on Obama per-se, but he seems to be the current catalyst for change leading down this path.

Excellent recommendation. Have you read anything else by AR, like The Fountainhead?
The Fountainhead, yes.

I'm reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine right now (yes, I am taking my time). When done, will start on The Virtue of Selfishness and then For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

Can't go wrong with Dumas. Hell, try Stevenson' s 'Treasure Island' and pretend it's non-fiction. Great read.  ;)
