"O Force One"

American flag disappears from Obama campaign jet

Quote:

As part of a month-long [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]aircraft[/color][/color] makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Barack [COLOR=blue ! important]Obama's[/color][/color][/color] official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.
The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.
Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.
Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:
"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"


Obama's 'O' symbol is red, white and blue.
Most official U.S. government aircraft, including Air Force One, have U.S. flags on their tails.
Both Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times posted pictures of the Obama campaign's redressed airplane, which does not have an American flag or any other U.S. national symbols on the section that sports the airplane door from which Obama and his team will enter and exit.
The airplane boasts Obama's anthem, "Change We Can Believe In" and the candidate’s website address.

The plane that Sen. Barack Obama will use on his campaign features his slogan and his Web address (Courtesy Sun-Times)
The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.
According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, the refurbished Obama aircraft features a "first class" section for the candidate and his closest advisors; several "business class" seats, and a large coach section, usually meant for the traveling press corps.
Sweet reported fruit and cheese platters greeted reporters on board the flight. Dinner options offered were beef medallions, baked tilapia or eggplant parmesan.
She wrote the Obama campaign provided overnight kits for the flight that include toothbrush, mouthwash, socks, Neutrogena body lotion and lip moisturizer, Scope mouthwash, ear plugs and a blindfold for sleeping.
man of the people i assume....

He does seem to get rid of it at every opportunity. Hmmm. "O" for opportunity....

Just curious.....how can you know how he or anyone feels about something unless they either tell you or do something that cannot be interpreted in any way but one?

Me, I love America, I fought for America, I had many friends who died fighting for America. I had a few close relatives who died fighting for America.

I admit that when I hear the Star Spangled Banner I get a bit choked up and when I see an American Athlete presented with a gold medal at the Olympics and they play our national anthem for that, I more often than not feel a tear (or tears) trickle down my cheek in pride.

Yet I've never worn a flag pin. What does that mean? Anything?

To me it means that I'm not a jewelry guy. I loved my wife as much as any man ever loved his wife. I didn't wear a wedding band. Yet I see people I KNOW are miserable in their marriages and yet they always wear their wedding bands. So what does that prove?

For all I know, maybe Obama hates America. Wants to destroy our country, convert us all into Islamic jihadists, maybe just put all white Christians into death camps. - Whatever this "gun grabbing, Anti-Christ, America hater" really is about, I kind of think that he's not going to ruin his big surprise with a slip-up like not wearing a flag pin.

Maybe his not wearing a flag pin or painting a flag on the tail of his campaign plane will be a blessing for us all.... Maybe he's an evil genius who will find his ultimate undoing because of his uncontrollably compulsive aversion to our flag.

Peace,
D.

Give it a few days. Someone from the Obama campaign or Obama himself will hold a press conference and tell you that some jet painter who was drinking on the job forgot to put the flag on the tail. I'm sure they'll make up some BS excuse not to appear un-American.

The Obama camp probably opted for removing the flag in lieu of painting on the hammer and sickle. Too obvious!

Point taken but I think our CinC or one running for CinC should be displaying and promoting a 100% Americanism. Obama hasn't!

Is it possible that the American flag was on both sides of the tail at one time and then one side was painted differently leaving the flag on the other side?

Is having the American flag painted prominently on a CAMPAIGN JET necessary?

You might have a point if he did this to Air Force One but now .... just more of the Obama Slama Two Step.
