A vague, meaningless symbol, for a vague meaningless man, representing the yearnings of a vague, meaningless class. Liberal yuppies.

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.

"was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol"

This is simply the kind of 'change' we have been promised, and anyone who does not appreciate the fact that the Obamessiah is more important than trivial things like the US flag simply has not been paying attention. Remember, "we are the change we have been waiting for" or some such crap......

Alec Rawls observes that the two most widely recognized symbols of Islam are the crescent and the sword.  Kind of amusing that Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign logo can be seen to feature both a crescent and a curved Islamic scimitar:  

 Obama logo animation, crescent and scimitar

  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.

This is reasonable because ... he couldn't get all 57 stars clearly painted on it.

From the article-—The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.

size of a postage stamp?

Take time to get the whole story, and find some objective balance.
