American Flag Disappears From Obama Campaign Jet

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.'"

If I did not have so much respect for the flag I would take one and drape it in a (new of course) commode at Home Depot or somewhere and take a picture to illustrate just how close the symbology is. Maybe someone can photoshop it.

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

Obama’s recent speech in which he talked about the oppressive empire +++++++++++++++++ 20 years of indoctrination can make a big impression. To Obama we are the problem and many of the problems in the world are our fault. His supporters believe it too. The blame America crowd has done more damage to our country than the Bush administration and are determined to negate any global influence or appreciation we have.

they just can’t help but show contempt ++++++++++++ That says it all. It's scary that so many are caught up in this mania. I even think his mannerisms a rehearsed for leadership effect. (notice his chin is out and his head tilted up when giving speeches as if to be receiving devine inspiration while really saying nothing) This guy is a phony.

It’s Baphomet, the Satanic goat-headed “god”.

Baphomet, interestingly enough, is a bastardization of the word “Mohamet”.

Coincidence?
I think not.

The star turned upright symbolizes divine spirit triumphing over corrupt flesh.
Inverted, it symbolizes exactly the opposite; hedonism, sin and lust in control of the spirit.

Perfectly appropriate for the Dems, IMO.

Rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees.

It looks like a crescent eating an American flag.
