I hear the ghost of Lyndon Johnson.

In your guts , you know he’s nuts.

Whenever I see that big O I’m reminded of Monica.

I'm reminded of "Left Behind."

Painting a plane that size costs a fortune!

Yet another example of profligacy, arrogance and self delusion.

George Soros is very, very wealthy.

“The reporters are pissed because they actually believe that they are part of the Obama campaign, and that accordingly they shouldn’t be treated like mere reporters.”

They actually are part of the Obama campaign

It’s all simply “Change You Can Believe In” for his America-hating base.....

Obamessiah replaces US flag with his own egomanical personal logo..... how appropriate is that for the Obamessiah?????

Clearly HE is far more significant than “Old Glory” — at least in his own feverish imagination and in the dreams of his cultish Kool-aid drinkers.

This before-and-after of his campaign plane could form the basis of a very effective attack ad — Obamessiah really thinks he is above all of us peons.

OK, I see what you mean. That’s because it is on the right side of the plane, opposite of the left. I presume it is intentional, and that it is the proper form for the flag to point toward the rear of the plane. (Just speculation) but you can tell that the photo is not reversed (if that’s what you are thinking), because the lettering is not reversed.

For objects that move, it's increasingly becoming practice to have the flag's constellation field, which is properly located in the upper left quadrant of the flag, located instead on the "upper forward" quadrant, regardless of whether "forward" is right or left.

This started out, iirc, with the right shoulder flag patches worn by military units that traced their heritage to cavalry units - the location representing a flying flag that is always moving forward (as in a cavalry troop on the move). I believe that the entire US military has now adopted this, regardless of whether the unit in question was historically cavalry or not, and it seems that the civillian world is following suit.

FWIW, McCain’s plane doesn’t have a flag either:

He should probably go out and put a big old honkin’ stars and stripes on it right now.
