But the first and truest test of Obama's "wall" theory? He should simply take his theory to the inner cities of the US.
You know, and I know, his call to and plan for "unity" in the inner cities would and do not work.
He was a community organizer. At what, for what? Did crime stats go down? Did the wall between gangs fall?
If the theory doesn't work in the every day level, it is absolute lunacy to think it would work on the larger levels.
From article: But beyond the incoherence, there is a deeper problem, namely that "walls" exist not simply because of a lack of understanding about who is on the other side but because there are true differences in values and interests that lead to human conflict. The Berlin Wall itself was not built because of a failure of communication but because of the implacable hostility of communism toward freedom. The wall was a reflection of that reality, not an unfortunate mistake.

Good point.
