Interesting question. It's surely a parody but, on the other hand what it's being a parody of is really-real and really-really scary to me. Something I find fascinating is that the same people who try to associate Karl Marx to Obama also try to associate Hitler to Obama. Hitler was not a socialist and in fact Russia was one of our WWII allys. Hitler was anti-Marxist, racist, and whatever he didn't like was anti-German. Reflecting on this the current rhetoric against Obama is anti-Marxist, racist and seemingly everything he proposes is anti-American. GMAFB, it's one or the other. He can't be a Marxist and a Nazi!
Wow, maybe he's neither? Could he just be a liberal - OMG! what a thought - he's not the centrists all the pundits suggested he was during the election! I think he's a freaking liberal! Is it possible that this is what the citizens of the U.S. really wanted. Surely not! (insert tongue-in-cheek smilie here with a roll-eyes smilie)
I'm sure I lack many facts of the matter but I'm just a simple undereducated man who, as a child would have never "gotten" the message your son did from this speech. I tend to over-simplify if you haven't noticed.
I think you should be exceedingly proud of your little one. It sounds to me like his take on the message was that of a good American Capitalist and that if you work hard you will reap the rewards of your industry. Too many people seem to never "get" this.
