Barack Obama and the DNC are like the Marlborough Man, the brand sold a lot of cigarettes, and killed a lot of their customers.<\/p>\n<p>The other point is that Mr. Whittle makes is that the branding can turn on you. \u00a0There has been a distinct rise in negative messages using the Obama &#8220;O&#8221; logo, and even BHO&#8217;s face, which the DNC and its lackeys where so careful to associate with an angelic halo whenever possible, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbin.net\/EWW\/polyticks\/democrats.html\">has been associated with a clown faced psychopath<\/a>, who&#8217;s main goal is the destruction of society and the advancement of destructive chaos. \u00a0 Expect more of this as our <em>Dear Leader<\/em>&#8216;s poll numbers drop and more people pick up on the truth of Mr. Whittle&#8217;s message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Whittle of PJTV has a very insightful segment on branding and politics. \u00a0 He pulls no punchs in pointing out the democrats get it and how the RNC is pretty much completely clueless on the subject.
