Barack Obama ran an unprecedented Presidential campaign - utilizing the power of design to help secure the seat of the President of the United States of America. However, his iconic emblem, the ever present "O", holds more power than even Obama knows. Bill Whittle points out the dangers of branding an ideology with an icon and how, perhaps, the powerful symbol will be used against the very man it built up. - http://www.pjtv.com

  • Where do I get the LOL! sticker?

  • I'm perfectly okay with Obama using his own symbol in place of the presidential seal. It indicates that he's not the president of the United States as a whole, but the president of the jokers who voted for him. Which is exactly the truth.

  • great analysis

  • Ron Paul 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sponsored by republicans ?!

  • A purity poetic little skit. :)

  • what if you take shit and serve that on a really nice plate. Still shit right? That is your answer

  • you forgot to the ROFL with the Obama symbol.

  • You guys realize that Obama governs further to the Right on almost every issue than Richard Nixon, right?

    Nixon wasn't that bad. He gave us the NEA, EPA, NPR, opened relations with China, got us out of Vietnam. If Obama's already a Marxist according to Mr. Whittle. I guess Nixon was some kind of super-commie right?

    Don't let this twisted little angry Bill Whittle person turn us against eachother. We're all Americans. Moderates and liberals love America just as much as conservatives do.

  • I appreciate that Whittle decided not to juxtapose Obama's symbol with the sickle and the swastika. It would have been an obscene comparison. However, I doubt that many people watching this video would be surprised to see a Democrat making such a comparison. Smearing is all the Left is really good at. I'm glad that we expect a higher standard of discourse from our spokespeople.

  • Obama is the only president that feels he needed a symbol to represent him rather being a symbol that represents America..

  • dems and repubs are the same, they both bought and paid for by private interests. End the Federal Reserve, and end what their corrupt money buys.
