Hey Eric. Thanks for bringing this video by to my attention. The GOP should hire Whittle. Although I was aware that Obama used symbols extensively, I did not appreciated just how extensive and insidious they are. Getting a grip on Obama is like trying to hit a moving target given the complexity and dynamic nature of his assault on the American psyche. I certainly will be folling Mr. Whittle and his insights in the future.
