Better than the crazy land atlas shrugs inhabits.

Obviously, anonymous the latter never read the book...the land which "atlas shrugs(sic) inhabits" is that in which we all live...the difference between "atlas" (John Galt) and the rest of humanity is in how we relate to that world

Brilliant. It's all there, the use of over-the-top imagery and the crutch of the teleprompters, as well as talking down to crowds, as though they are children. The man suffers from hubris syndrome (http://www.zoomhealth.net/HubrisSyndrome.html) so I am not surprised that he fails to see the irony in giving a speech at Disneyland.

That's great, but Wonderland is a good metaphor too. http://garyivey.com/wp/2012/01/17/next-stop-wonderland/
