The U.S. flag no longer appears on the tail of the plane that will be used by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama (Courtesy Chicago Sun-Times)
Anyone else find this disturbing?
At some level...it makes me think of the United Nations...or worse...
Prolly didn’t want to get shot at by his Mooselim buds.
Honestly the “Big O” symbol (with apologies to the great Victor Buono, who will ALWAYS be the true and only Big O) looks like the flag being flushed down the toilet.
Did they check the fireplace???
First, isn’t it a Federal law that all American registered planes and ships must have the US flag on them?
Next, this is the sign of an overconfident, arrogant campaign that has idea how to spend campaign funds wisely. This had to have cost several million in increased lease payments. Think of all the bogus commercials this money could have purchased.
Finally, I guess he will have to get an even larger American Flag pin for his lapel to make up for this glaring omission.
A month-long makeover for the aircraft? I think Iron Maiden had Ed Force One ready and finished in a few weeks. That includes taking out the seats in the rear half of the plane for all of their gear.
It appears as though B. Hussein plans on forming his own country here.
The old Cult of Personality. Hitler had it, Stalin had it, Mussolini had it. Now Obama has it, with the entire MSM acting as his Josef Goebbels.
How many miles per Blood for Oil does that thing get??
Pray for W and Our Troops
Is this guy nuts or the most self centered man on earth? Yes!
O.....for zerObama.
First he won’t wear the flag pin, then he wouldn’t place his hand on his heart and now he’s just proved to the world that he’s still got a problem with the American flag. I’m going to send this to everyone that I know on line. It needs to get out. This is more of Rev Wright’s hate America teaching. Obama and his angry wife hate America, and they just can’t help but show contempt for a country that they hate!!
It got burned in the fireplace, right? /sarc off
Rush is right,”This guy is a jerk, an arrogant jerk. A Jerk Messiah.” He also keeps making remarks like, “when I’m POTUS” and “ leaders who I expect to be dealing with over the next 8 to 10 years”. Not only does he and the media act like he has already won, he has also been pompous enough not to cover his heart during the pledge, used to be above wearing a flag pin (until he worried it was hurting his political ambitions), has changed the the Presidential seal, and he has now taken the flag off his plane. Of course, don’t forget his elitist, “messiah” attitude.
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.
Typically, a sleepmask is provided...blindfolds bring to mind other activities that have become notorious on planes.
