As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's 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.'"

I can’t recall a logo like this. If they did, they certainly didn’t have it plastered everywhere like Obama. It seems to me that most Presidential candidates usually just have a red, white, and blue sign with a flag.
Now that it’s been pointed out, I can see what you are talking about regarding the flag being flushed down the toilet. Creepy.
The stripes remind me of the “amber waves of grain” representing this wounderful nation.
With a white mushroom cloud rising above it.
I sure hope I’m wrong.
Probably
You're right--That is what it looks like.
Barack Obama and his team agree: At 46 years old, with no military service or foreign policy experience, having only spent three years as a United States senator, he is master of the universe.
Susan Rice, Obama’s senior foreign policy advisor, informed the German news magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published today that her candidate “bows to nobody in understanding this world.”
Rice prefaced this conceit by relating his world travels: “Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia.”
This evening ABC News Nightline will broadcast an interview with Obama conducted after he met with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki and Gen. Petraeus today in Iraq.
Obama’s arrogance shone through as he dismissed Petraeus’ concerns about Obama’s plans for Iraq:
“My job is to think about the national security interests as a whole and to weigh and balance risks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their job is just to get the job done here, and I completely understand that.”
Obama, in his arrogance, failed to recognize that Petraeus, having recently been promoted to head up Centcom, which oversees both Iraq and Afghanistan, would also be looking at Iraq from the same perspective.
I forced myself to view Nightline on ABC (blecchh) tonight with Terry Moran questioning Obambi in Iraq. I tried hard not to count the uhs and ahs and ums peppered throughout Obama’s responses, which also contained so many pauses as to make one nearly drift off to sleep.
Aside from that, what the Obamessiah did say to Moran was nothing short of astounding in its total arrogance. I could not believe what I was hearing from his (grinning like an idiot) mouth and even Moran seemed genuinely surprised at times.
I also noticed a distinct “deer in the headlights” look on Obama’s face while Moran was questioning him. I could only imagine what Hillary Clinton must’ve been thinking if she saw the interview. (Honestly, if I had to choose between Hillary and Obama, Hillary would win my vote in a heartbeat.)
This Obama charlatan, enjoying the heck out of his current “world tour,” is no one we should want in the White House —and it’s absolutely frightening to think this may well come to pass. Whatever you folks think of McCain, please think carefully before deciding to pass on voting this year.
McCain in 2008!!!
Typically, a sleepmask is provided...blindfolds bring to mind other activities that have become notorious on planes.
giggling
That set me off on a stream-of-conciousness...
got me thinking about another airplane:
Airplane the movie, where O.J. tries to walk through a door with the world's biggest Afro.
Visions of Obama with the world's biggest American Flag Pin, weighing down his lapel, blocking his entrance to his flagless plane...
Perfect.
Wow, just in time for the Messiah’s journey to the unwashed masses of the ME and Europe, eh? What a surprise not.
Why not? He has no respect for God—why would he have any respect for our country? I just can’t believe how many kool aid drinkers are stupid enough to line up behind him. It’s all about obama.
Might be a tagline here....The New York Goebbel...The Washington Goebbel...The Chicago Goebbel..The LA Goebbel...
The crescent shape in Obama’s logo has the round part on top, just like a traditional crescent shaped mihrab (the Mecca direction indicator around which every mosque is built). The animation shows the two most famous mihrabs in the world: the mihrab from the Great Mosque in Cordoba, and the Prophet’s mihrab in Medina.
The lighter vertical column in the center-bottom of the logo, presumably meant to indicate reflected light, even conveys the full vertical shape of a traditional mihrab. The scimitar in the animation is from the flag of the Bosnian regiment of the Nazi SS.
If Obama himself had come up with this crescent logo, one might suspect Islamic intent, given his Islamic heritage. But the logo was not designed by Obama. It was designed by a Chicago based branding firm named Sender, which claims credit for coming up with: "a white sunrise against a blue sky, over a landscape implied by red and white stripes."
Obama definitely deserves to be made fun of for having a fairly obvious crescent shape in his logo, given his efforts to convince the public that he is not Muslim. This is already an uphill climb, when both his grandmother and his cousin are telling documented lies about their religion, claiming to be Christian in one venue while professing themselves Muslim in another. Lying about being Christian: it’s an Obama family tradition!
Still, there is no indication that the crescent and scimitar shapes in Obama’s logo are intended to convey any Islamic meaning. A genuine coincidence apparently.
