Obama Ditches The American Flag

By SusanUnPC on July 21, 2008 at 3:00 PM in Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Cult-Aide, Germany, Iraq, Israel, Obamatopia, Patriotism

Barack Obama used donations to refurbish and repaint his campaign plane, and has removed the flag of the United States from the tail of the plane. Reports Bonnie Kapp for Fox Embed:

[T]he plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama “O.” “Change We Can Believe In” and the candidate’s website are splayed across both sides of the fuselage, making this 757 anything but inconspicuous.

This means, of course, that the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Germany, and other countries will see a plane without an American flag — a plane on which the sole symbol is all about one man. Barack: Afghans and Iraqis won’t be voting for you in November. But they will notice that you failed to represent yourself as a proud American citizen while you are abroad. We’ve noticed too.

Here is an image of Air Force One, with the American flag appropriately displayed:

Here is the tail section of Obama’s plane:

Below is the image of the front section of Obama’s newly repainted plane:

As a patriotic American citizen, I am embarrassed that a presumptive presidential candidate would fail to display a core symbol of the United States of America.

As a patriotic American citizen, I’ve been somewhat concerned about Barack Obama’s failure to put his hand over his heart during the playing of the National Anthem as well as his blather when he was forced to explain why he didn’t wear the popular flag pin.

As a patriotic American citizen, I am deeply concerned that the Democratic party may nominate a candidate who is solely focused on displaying his OWN image and symbols rather than those of his party and his country.

Not only is his plane’s symbolism unpatriotic, it is also narcissistic.

    Any bets on when his gasbag fills up so much he floats away into space, never to be seen or heard from again (and his supporters then claim he’s ascended into heaven AGAIN?)

    • Maddy

      I like it (and I hate planes). Would you not have criticized him for having the US flag on the tail for being too presumptuous?

      • Ferdberfle

        The short answer is “no”. The American Flag should be flown on an American aircraft.

        • missE

          The press is on that plane. Obama is on Air Farce One pictured here.

            Doesn’t matter…can you imagine Hillary painting a big H on the tail of one of the planes she’s using?

            Holy hell would break loose.

              As someone else said, it’s a wonder he didn’t paint a great big picture of himself on the plane.

              amen doc sab,
              Im the same way
              i mean what does it take for america to wake up to the lies and decieving garbage of this faker,
              the guy is trouble witha capital T,
              and if we dont get rid of him now than america will be all messed up,
              I cant believe the dumb people that voted for this loser,
              the military dont trust him and he tries to avoid things that are saacred and right in this country,
              the guy is a theif and so is his wife and all the stupid media too,
              his wife has a total attitude problem and she is as bad as he is or worse,
              In CAPITAL LETTERS FREAKING,,, WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

          “The short answer is “no”. The American Flag should be flown on an American aircraft.”…

          ….The short answer to that would be “You’re a great big liar”.

          Hey genius, did you actually bother to LOOK at a commercial airliner or a private jet before you made this moronic statement?

          Why don’t you try Googling “commercial aircraft, photos” andcome back and tell us what you find.

          • jcm

            His LINE is he is on this trip as a US senator – the american tax payer is footing the bill for this trip – so he is doing his advertising on a plane that the gas, the staff, etc are being funded by the US gov. not his camp. – it is not just an everyday commercial airliner.

          • DontTreadOnMe

            Hey Josh from Brooklyn:

            Try googling “commercial u.s. aircraft, photos” and tell US what you find… MORON!

            Hey, moron, why don’t you realize he was referring to US Government aircraft. Can you try googling US aircraft? Prick.

            Apparently Brooklyn breeds assholes.

      • Indy

        Huh? He is presumptuous with his crass new airplane. He is presumptuous to go overseas and behave as though he’s already in office. He presumptuous for not displaying the US flag anywhere on his crass and gaudy campaign plane.

        • Indy

          By “already in office” I mean already President.

        • terri

          I can’t remember any presidential candidate campaigning overseas. Guess he’s running for King of the World like Bush. Stupid loony-liberal Democrats think he’s the answer to all the problems Bush created, but he will just make them worse.

          • Diana

            I’m waiting for Larry the Toolbag to show up. I just heard Obama on the radio saying he and Maliki never even discussed a timeline so how could they agree to one? Remember him yesterday going ballistic with his conspiracy theory over the CNN retraction. I hope someone caught it and puts it on youtube. I was driving.

          • Ted

            Really? McCain was in Iraq a couple of months ago. He met with local leaders, military commanders, and troops. Just like Obama.

            This is typical of the Obama opposition. “He hasn’t gone to Iraq – what a joke.” “He’s in Iraq, what a joke.”

        What would be presumptuous about a UNITED STATES SENATOR and PRESIDENTIAL nominee displaying the flag of his country. He’s supposed to be all patriotic now after that BIG SPEECH (any one surprised?) that he gave a few weeks ago. If he really wanted to be patriotic he should have had the whole damn plane wrapped in red, white and blue.

        FLIP. FLOP.

        You arrogant prick.

      • elise

        No, the Flag is not presumptuous. I see them flying everywhere. Now, if he had put his “Presidential Seal” on the plane’s tail, that would have been.

      • fif

        Here’s the thing: he represents THE U.S. NOT HIMSELF!! That is the damn problem. It’s all about BO.

        • mahaska

          If he is representing himself as it appears he is, then the bastard should pay all the expenses himself.

          • geegee

            He is not using public funds.

            • TJ

              Not using public funds? Those Secret Service agents are paid for by public funds. The rest from US, foreign and Hamas donors.

              • airlinephl

                he has no say..the US Secret Service has to stay with himm at all times

      • mahaska

        The plane comes with a flag on the tail. It’s an American plane. International law requires flag of country of origin and registration number. I have typed this slowly so that you can understand it.

        • airlinephl

          no true…the ICAO requires a registration number not a flag. Most Airliners have there countries flag but not GA and biz jets.

        • airlinephl

          no true…the ICAO requires a registration number not a flag. Most Airliners have there country’s flag but not GA and biz jets.

      • s. hall

        no maddy — better the tail of Obama’s plane looks like a festive Penis. That’ll work.

      • Sarah

        i think that if you are running for president in AMERICA then you SHOULD have the AMERICAN FLAG on the plane unless you do not support america which is clearly being shown.

      • tammy

        I think that if you are working for OUR country you should support OUR country in any way possible. It is OUR flag and should be displayed everywhere to show OUR pride for OUR country. If we don’t stand up for it who will?

    • The Real Hope

      Der
      Wouldn’t that be LOVERLY!

    • d2d

      at least we now know where the $35mil went. da plane, da plane!

    • RunningDogLackey

      Let’s see. You’re pissed when he DOESN’T wear a flag pin, and you’re pissed when he DOES. You’re pissed when he uses a mock-Presidential seal, and you’re pissed when he DOESN’T paint his plane like Air Force One.

      Congratulations! You are now officially a bunch of bitter, irrelevant cranks.

      • Ferd Berfle

        You don’t read very well, do you? I’m sure we’d all just like him to behave with a little decorum. The bantam rooster shtick ain’t workin’.

      • http://www.DeathoftheDemocraticParty.com xax

        Let’s get something straight.
        Some people were upset about him not wearing the pin. But you see how fast his holy flip flop “I stand on principals” ran to wear one. So I think you should be more mad at him and not us.

        Another thing, you can’t seem to follow a logical sequence. Instead you string events together as if they are relevant when in fact they are separate. The presidential seal and a plane are two different things.
        Problem with the seal: we have this thing called democracy where the majority of people have to vote for you. Confidence is one thing, but attaching yourself to an office which the American people haven’t seen fit to ALLOW you to have is arrogant and annoying. i.e. people are pissed.
        Problem with the plane: His holy flip flop gives this HUGH speech (again… is any one surprised?) about how patriotic he is. I’ve seen some of his commercials. They are sappier than the kool aid he hands out at his rallies. Reminiscent of quintessential Americana. And then he goes and replaces a US flag on a US plane with his own logo. Can’t you see how this would annoy people, again? He wasn’t making his plane look like AIR FORCE ONE (ala presidential seal), he removed the US flag and replaced it with his own design.

        Arrogance. Simple.

      • elise

        Listen Lackey. I never cared one way or the other about the flag pin, but he made a big deal about refusing to wear one and now he wears one. It’s more about what it says of his lack of character. Have you seen the picture where he refuses to put his hand on his heart during the Star Spangeled Banner? That was deliberiate also and one would have to wonder at that point he was still trying to keep faith with Rev. Wright. Too much odd about his behavior and it suggests someone who is creating himself as he goes along. Is that a sign of something lacking he is trying to fill in his ambition?

      • fif

        He didn’t wear the pin because he didn’t have a genuine sense of love and pride for his country. Then he DID, because he needed to pander to middle America. Same thing with the plane. He does not understand that he is just a symbol for American ideals. Obama represents Obama.

      • mahaska

        That’s because we can recognize a faker when we see one.

    • susan

      This may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back! For all the glory appointed by the media to Obama and his campaign staff, they sure do some assinine things, and this one takes the cake! Surely, there must be some other country to live in that you all respect, for you have certainly shown lack of respect for this one, time and time again. Perhaps the country Obama was born in???

      • The Real Hope

        Yes where is that brothel that he was born in? What country was that?

        • Jim

    • NoBigotry

      Shows the hypocrisy here. John McWars plane does not even use the colors red white and blue and has McCain.com on the tail.

      • Pink Panther

        McCain didn’t paint over the American flag like Obama did; thus, you are either obtuse or a hypocrite yourself.

        Hey, NoBigotry, until you stop becoming a bigot, stop criticizing others.

        If you support the racist and sexist obama, you are a bigot.

        • JA

          The plane comes with a flag on the tail. It’s an American plane. International law requires flag of country of origin and registration number.
          __________________________________________
          Looks like McCain must have painted over the flag as well. His plane has mccain.com on the tail.

          • mahaska

            It doesn’t have to be in large detail on the tail, but itmust be on the plane and anyway, you’re wrong.

      • tzada

        But did John McCain remove a flag? Did McCain make up a slimy “presidential” seal? Obama is making much ado about this trip, while McCain went quietly from country to country. There is a vast difference.You as a sheep that is blinded from Obama self reflected glory I understand that you just don’t get it.

        • mahaska

          The symbol on the tail makes it look like a commercial plane from a middle eastern country.

        • mahaska

          Maybe when they shed their skin, the scales will fall from their eyes and they can see the truth of the make believe man.

        • SalRei

          This whole line of conversation is really ridiculous. Look around at a sporting events.Most people grew up putting their hand on their heart for the Pledge of Allegiance”, not the National Anthem. But do remove your hat!Do all of you really care about silly things like plane decor and flag pins? None of this has anything to do with how someone will govern this country. How often does McCain wear a flag pin? Who cares. It doesn’t mean anything. If you really care, look up both candidates websites and read their positions on all of the issues. By the way, McCain is the one who practically dared Obama to go to Iraq. McCain traveled overseas earlier this year while Obama was in the primary versus CLinton. That was poor timing on his part. If Obama kept misstating the locations of countries like McCain does (GMA today ….Iraq/Pakistan border) we would never hear the end of it. All of this worry about superficial things is immature. Grow up!

          • http://hotair.com/archives/2008/06/02/michelle-obama-dont-trust-bloggers-because-people-lie/ Kelly

            Actually, I believe that one is to place one’s hand over one’s heart during the anthem only if there is a flag displayed.

            If you think of baseball- the players and fans have theirs hands over their hearts because a flag is always displayed.

          • s. hall

            salrei–Don’t you think Obama should show his birth certificate? Do you think its a trivial thing for a man to try to run for President if he wasn’t born in this country? Cause thats the law. Perhaps its you who should grow up.

            • d-rod

              um, he was born in this country. last time I checked, Honolulu was in Hawaii…and I’m pretty sure Hawaii is still in the United States. perhaps you should review your geography..or at least your facts.

          • d-rod

            a bit rudely said, but essentially 100% correct in my view. to me patriotism is more about actions, doing what is best for the people in the country, not superficial symbolism. I don’t get offended when people at a sporting event do not take off their hats during the anthem…why should we get upset if Obama doesn’t wear a pin? This ra-ra-country stuff is pretty outdated…and pretty much unimportant.

      • wants to stay free

        Atleast McCain puts his hand over his heart and recites OUR national anthem, he also wears his pin without complaint. He supports the war becasue he cares for someone other than HIMSELF.

      Well… I showed the plane’s tail image to a friend in the UK and they immediately asked what the “big white hump” was in the middle of the logo…! We both started laughing when she said it ‘looked like a ‘bell end’ (Brit-speak for penis)… HAHAHHAHAHAHAH… Aye… symbolism for his freakin ego!

      • workingclass artist

        Hmmm….sjc-tx…The “bell end”….chuckle….could also indicate the OBAMA VACCUM, or the resulting loss of formerly useful brain matter that happens during cult indoctrination…Or maybe it’s a classic subliminal symbol/tool that activates a kind of white noise buzzing comfort to keep the members in line and remind them of their new ultra purpose as designed by Dear Leader…

      It is quite funny how a lot of people say that the Bush administration is horrible and they are ruining our country. Last time I checked the democrats are the ones running it at this time so maybe people need to stop Blaming Bush for all the things they are planning. I find it completely ridiculous that Obama took the flag off his plane and apologized for the U.S. Do people really want a President who could care less about what we need just because he needs to fulfill his ego. And btw him pulling the RACISM card is getting old and it ties into him pulling the American flag off his plane.

    • catdancer

      You got that right, Fenelon(great screen name, by the way). Thank you Larry, SusanUnPC, Texas Darlin,Charles L. and the whole community of NQ which keeps me sane. Angry as hell but inspired.

      Bawak is the Manchurian Candidate/Trojan Horse of Fascism. Not Marxism. Fascism: when the Corporate and Political are one and the same. This great emptiness, this Chicago Swamp Thing is a wholly owned fraud.

      The signage on the plane(and who owns that plane, I’d like to know?) IS all about symbolism. You know, about the One…the Leader. The Great Hollow O. It is a message to the Internationl Corporate Nobility(read: the New World Order guys, the Bilderbergers and their greedy, unholy, feudal brethren)that we bought ours, you, too, can do the same. Control the press. Lie, steal, cheat, threaten… It’s of a piece with Bawak’s prancing about getting Foreign Policy “experience” in this tragic, Theatre of the Grotesque. The laughing, billionaire oligarchs behind Bawak are truly dangerous. I rue for the future of our American Democracy if this thug gets anywhere near the White House. This illegitimate pos must be stopped at Denver. If they crown him by acclamation in Denver, we are, as a Nation, in very serious trouble. Think: Bawak’s Civilian National Security Force. Think: Gestapo. Less than 60,000 Gestapo operatives controlled 80,000,000 Germans. It CAN happen here. Easy,the mechanisms are already in place thanks to W. and our corrupt Congress. Never forget that the elites(industrial, military, religious and old,Prussian conservatives)in 1933 Germany thought they could control Hitler…

        At one time the people did not know which candidate a reporter would vote for.

    There is no reason Obama would have the American flag on his plane. After all he attended that anti American church for 20 years and old habits are hard to break. Besides his plane is not as likely to be shot down displaying his Obama emblem, which all the Muslim world now recognizes, as it is if it has the American flag displayed. The hope of the world has arrived (according to lewis Farrakhan).

    The “baboon” comment by suthrn above is just abominable — abominable enough that you have to think that suthrn is some sort of ReverseBot sent here to make the site look as ridiculous as possible.

    Which leads me to an observation about a diary at Daily Kos this morning by sardonyx, listing the most frequent commenters at that site since last December. The heavy presence of fervent Bots in that list kind of confirms a suspicion I had about some of the 2007 arrivals at that site — that they’re paid by the Obama campaign on a per-comment basis. What else would motivate the top Bots there to make, on average, 200 (largely vicious) comments per day? $1 per comment maybe? That’d be $200 per day, $1,600 per week, and a nice annual salary. But, jeez, how tiring it must be to be on a 200 comments/day or 25 comments/hour work schedule.

    • AF catfish

      I noticed a surge in new users at dailykos supporting either Edwards and Obama – all appeared out of nowhere, very talkative right away (never went through the shy lurker phase regular commenters tend to do) all with user numbers 150,000 and up. Makes sense, since Trippi set up Obama’s “cyber war room” and he came over from Edwards’ campaign.

      Now the real commenters have abandoned the site. The cyber war room trolls probably don’t realize they’re just talking to each other.

      • LB

        I noticed the same thing back in late ’07 — 150K+ UIDs. Good point about Trippi. Those guys know how to manipulate the online world and who can doubt they’re doing it again this time? And yes, the “real commenters” did disappear (many to first Talk Left and MyDD and now to here and elsewhere, or just commenting in non-candidate diaries there). Wonder if Markos ever admits to himself that he’s been used (as in tool)?

    Well, you can guess how heated the conversation got. When I said I thought he was just as stupid as George Bush, my friend with his salad falling out of his mouth cried, “He’s brilliant, Obama graduated from Harvard!”
    “So did George Bush,” said I.

      Together, Bush and Obama leveled the playing field in a way. Harvard, Yale and Columbia degrees no longer carry quite the cache or (supposed) proof of intelligence they once did.

      More are hip to the fact that legacies (Bush and Obama both, Obama’s dad went to Harvard) can graduate from those schools just fine; the faculty pulls you through to graduation.

  • DoroB

    Narcissistic is right. I wonder who came up with these ideas.
    I still don’t understand why Obama didn’t put his hand over his heart during the national anthem. Would it hurt him to place his hand there for just a minute or so? It wasn’t like everyone else is doing it too.
    Obama does not respect ANYTHING except his own image. He will use things and people when it suits him, then throw them under the bus when he is done with them.

  • The Real Hope

    Obama is not a patriot! He does not love our country folks. The display of the American Flag is an embarrassment for him. This reminds us once again of his refusal to put his hand over his heart whence he recites the Pledge of Allegiance as was evidenced by a recent photo of him standing on the podium next to the traitor Governor Richardson and our beloved true PATRIOT Hillary Clinton! Remember that photo friends?

    We cannot expect someone who was schooled in Indonesia during the formative years of his life to be a patriot! Barach’s mother was an ultra-nutwing liberal who taught him to LOVE THE WORLD FIRST! She would have been Queen of the NUTROOTS today had she lived out her life.

    This man is a confused nitwit who deserves not an ounce of our respect or good wishes.

      I totally agree, American before party. This country deserves the utmost respect and honor by not only putting a hand over the heart but also reciting the words of the the Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner.

    Oh yes I am wise
    But it’s wisdom born of pain
    Yes, I’ve paid the price
    But look how much I gained
    If I have to, I can do anything
    I am strong (strong)
    I am invincible (invincible)
    I am PUMA

    You can bend but never break me
    ’cause it only serves to make me
    More determined to achieve my final goal
    And I come back even stronger
    Not a novice any longer
    ’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul

    CHORUS

    I am PUMA watch me grow
    See me standing toe to toe
    As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
    But I’m still an embryo
    With a long long way to go
    Until I make my country understand

    Oh yes I am wise
    But it’s wisdom born of pain
    Yes, I’ve paid the price
    But look how much I gained
    If I have to I can face anything
    I am strong (strong)
    I am invincible (invincible)
    I am PUMA
    Oh, I am PUMA
    I am invincible
    I am strong

    I am PUMA
    I am invincible
    I am strong
    I am PUMA

    THIS ALONE SHOULD SHOW EVERY ONE HE INTENDS TO CHANGE AMERICA TO HIS WAY OF THINGS. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED. IF IT WAS HIS PLANE , HE COULD DO WHAT HE WANTED TO. BUT IT BELONGS TO THE USA. AND IT SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED TO AN ISLAMIC IMAGE. DNC CAN FOR SURE GO TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET NOW, AND TAKE THE TRAITOR , HUSSEIN OBAMA WITH THEM.

  • sayitisntso

    It’s a distraction for the public from the upcoming convention….to keep people from thinking and remembering that he DID NOT get enough votes without Superdelegate votes.

    PUMA! Boowah!

  • maidyalook2

    obamamama, Considering he thinks he already is CIC, yeah, he should get raked over the coals. He’s a fool and an empty suit. PUMA

  • Bell’Artista

    Considering the nearly unimaginable bloated obesity of obama’s ego, it is amazing the plane can get off the ground.

    Has any emissary from any country anywhere ever failed to display the flag of his country before? Ever?
    Even at boxing matches the national anthems of all countries involved are sung and everyone stands.
    obama’s behaviour here is so over the top and in glaringly poor taste that none but the most callous person who has never been proud of their country before could feel anything other than extraordinary shame at this further example of this supposed American’s phenomenal narcissism.

    Nice that he will fly to Israel in that hideous ode to himself…..today I received an email from McCain expressing his condolences to Jews and to Israel:
    For Immediate Release

    Contact: Press Office

    Friday, July 17, 2008

    703-650-5550
    “I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the families of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. When I met the Regev and Goldwasser families in Israel, I was moved by their profound love for their sons, who were kidnapped by Hezbollah in the summer of 2006. Now we know that Eldad and Ehud made the ultimate sacrifice for the country they served and loved. In spite of this tragic loss, Israel and the United States will remain united in their struggle against terrorism. The continuing attacks on Israel by Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist groups supported by state sponsors of terror like Syria and Iran pose a severe threat to Israel. Our democratic ally is under siege, and these two deaths are just the latest in a long line of brave Israelis who have been killed by vicious terrorists. Though we mourn the loss of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, we are reminded by this that we must never waver in our support for Israel, and we cont inue to demand the release of Gilad Shalit, taken captive by Hamas and held illegally since the summer of 2006.”

    Now this is from a man cut from far finer cloth than the bloated egoist with the plane, a man who understands that the Presidency is not about the President as much as those he serves.
    I think o has further shown the caliber of his good judgment and character here…..ZERO

    • Diana

      Thank you for sharing that. They also have my deepest condolences. I’ve lost family members in this war. Two cousins in one day blown up at a checkpoint by terrorists. I just have to have faith and pray that their lives were not given in vain. I know they believed in what they were doing. That one day when our troops have come home that we will have made great accomplishments there. That the Iraqi people will live free from tyranny. That their sons and daughters will be able to go to college, and that they will now prosper as a nation.

He’s the sleeper cell sent to destroy us from the inside out. As unreal and crazy as it seems, how else do you explain this protege of Axel evil rod. Several of the Senatorial planes have been shot at and had near misses while visiting Iraq. Smart guy. NOT

    • LB

      Liz, I just checked that out and you certainly know how to stir up a nest of Bots! You even lured in old Geekesque. Wonder how much they pay Geek for his tart one-liners? He never actually says much, so they should be getting him at a discount.

  • fred

    Obama gets rid of the “white presidential seal” now he takes off the “white American Flag” only thing left to get rid of is the “white American People” but he must rob them blind first.

  • Mary Brown

    People are dying of cancer and don’t have medecine, children are failing at school, gas is so expesive working class people cannot afford to drive, and the costs of the misguided war in Iraq is 10BILLION A MONTH and you are analyzing a logo on an airplane. GET OVER YOURSELVES AND START THINKING OF YOUR COUNTRY. SHAME ON YOU.

    • LB

      Well Mary, maybe you should have thought of all that before you and yours engaged in race-baiting and then calling the Clintons and their supporters “racist”, no?

      • Mary Brown

        You assume based on what? Prove to me that I ever race baited anyone? Do you ever have a discussion on issues? Do you care at all about people who are suffering? Do you care that we are in debt to the Chinese and the Indians- a debt incurred because the present administration could not pay for the Iraq War? Do you care that soldiers are electrocuted because companies hired by this administration cannot or will not do proper work? You accuse Obama of having a large and self centered ego. I think you do. By the way have you contacted your congressman or Senator about the health issues of returning troops? Have you asked them about shoddy workmanship. You see sweetie I am a military wife. My husband served for over 20 years, two of my sons served and I have nephew in Iraq. So spare me stupid arguments that help nothing

        • jim

          Mary please tell – what has OBama done about issues you speak of – oh thats right NOTHING

    • dgr

      Good God Mary, stop yer proselytizing, you give me headache!

    • MIDem

      Country before Party.

      NObama in NOvember

    • Peggy Sue

      And what would your candidate do to solve those massive problems?

      Cancer research? Seems to me HRC made that a policy issue, breast cancer specifically. Does Obama have a plan to eradicate cancer. Do tell.

      Failing at school? What are OB’s positions? I know McCain wants to give parents a choice between private schools, charter schools and the flawed and clearly failing public school system. Doesn’t make the teachers’ union happy. But that’s the sort of gauntlet you need to throw down to make things happen, to bring about change [the real kind].

      Expensive gas? Last time I checked Barack Obama claimed he could get us to energy independence by 2032. Forgive me, but that timetable is a bit hard to accept considering best case scenario he only has 8 years and that he refuses to sanction a “bridge” to get to “energy Nirvana.” We could all be speaking Chinese by 2032.

      The misguided war? Yes, I agree to the past; it was misguided, foolish, downright stupid and hideously wasteful in lives and money. Unfortunately, we’re dealing with the present and the future. It’s hard to put lipstick on a pig, but that’s where we at.

      The question is, how do we remove ourselves from Iraq without encouraging a bloodbath or worse situation for the US than we have right now? And Obama? From what I hear only the theater would change. A switcheroo from Iraq to Afghanistan. Doesn’t make me feel any safer or thinking we’re headed into anything remotely resembling a peace movement. Get those guys out in 16 months, so we can march them right into Afghan territory. And he’ll get Osama by invading Pakistan? Perfect. Why don’t we start broadcasting that news every day to the tribal areas. I’m sure the tribal chiefs would appreciate the heads up.

      Should I mention gun control, FISA, or the NAFTA wiggle wobbles?

      Frankly, I and most people here are thinking of country. Country before Party.

      Shame on you!

        Yes- Obama is against vouchers- yet he sends his offspring to private school. I guess he does not want “just anyone” to go to private school.

      • mahaska

        Yeah, but he said he’s planning to be president for the next 8 to 10 years, so that gives him a little more time, no?

        • wants to stay free

          the last time I checked you could only be president for 2 terms and terms run in 4 year increments, so if he plans on being in office for 8 to 10 years does that mean he plans on taking that right away from us too? Alone with everything else he plans on taking away. WE will have no rights left when he is done. We will all be his slaves in Obamanation!

    • Diana

      And how much did that logo cost to get painted on that jet that could have been given to a charity that helps in the areas you named. We have a presidential candidate that has gone through over 200 million dollars. 200 million dollars that claims to a be a champion of these causes, and never though to donate a penny of it to show he’s a champion of these causes. He could have brought truckloads of food and driven them around the country passing out food to those in need. Think about the PR that would have gotten him. He could have gone home when 32 children lay dying in the street to address their parents pain. He did not. Think of the PR that would have gotten him. Did he go to Katrina when it happened to help lift his people up? No he did not. Clinton who just had open heart surgery did and stayed. Think of the PR that would have gotten him. So come back down off your pedestal before you fall off.

    Just Words.

    “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,” Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the (our national) anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose”.

    There you have it Capt’n Obamica.

    • Lee

      scott in jupiter,
      Check Snopes.com re: Obama and the anthem you will see that your comment is an Urban legend……..Obama has never said that. The statement was a joke poking fun at Obama by John Semmens and can be found on “The Arizona Conservative” website. Check sources before spouting BS!

          Because someone pseudo’d at “obamamama” comes onto a site well-known for its opposition to Barack Obama and first tries to shame the disbelievers and, failing at that, moves to a “let’s talk” position. It’s pretty obvious, mama.

              Discuss then. What do you love most about obama?

              • obamamama

                Love is not the word, so please stop assuming idolatry from every Obama supporter. Honestly, every election I feel like I have to choose the lesser of two evils. Finally, I feel like we have better choices this time. Why I support Obama: I think we need to get out of Iran and concentrate on AQ in Afghanistan; I would not like to see the Supreme Court become more conservative; I think we need a new type of diplomacy both in the Middle East and around the world; I think we need to quit giving tax breaks to the very wealthy; I think health care should be affordable but not mandatory (that’s why I supported Obama over Clinton). That’s just a start….

                • WildChild

                  Ok, I’ll agree with you on one point. BOBO certainly has what it takes to get us out of Iran.

                  • obamamama

                    Excuse me, a typo. Of course I meant Iraq.

                    • WildChild

                      see, now we just lost the one point of agreement we had.

                • DoroB

                  How can health care be more affordable without mandates?
                  It sounds like you’re riding on a cloud of hope. Try not to look down.

                  • obamamama

                    I don’t want to see us prosecuting and fining people who cannot afford the payments or who choose to live outside the system. There are many people who choose holistic health care: midwifery, acupuncture, massage, Chinese herbs and other practices not covered by insurance. There are doctors in my area who do not participate in insurance. I think they should continue to have the freedom of choice. I had home births with a midwife for three of my kids. Not covered by insurance (we didn’t have any) but safe and affordable. Most people could and probably should opt in, but I can’t imagine forcing it.

                    • obamamama

                      PS. Actually, I think insurance has mucked everything up so badly that I’d like to see it abolished. But everyone calls that evil socialism, so no candidate will stand up for that.

        • Darryl

          How many kids you got on welfare Obamamamamamamamamamamamammama

          • obamamama

            Sheesh. One with a Master’s degree, one with a bachelor’s, one in college and one in high school. Poor working white who has never accepted any type of welfare or reduced lunch. Thanks for asking. And you?

            • Darryl

              I don’t have any kids. I have a master’s in Molecular Biology. You seems intellegent enough though. Listen. I have been trained to do scientific research and while ALL the canidates avaialable to us flop on issues, I have to tell you, Obama is the worst of them all. He is fooling everyone. I pray for you and your children. This man is the biggest liar I have ever seen in politics, and whats even worse is the press is going along with it. There is tons and tons of documented video tape where he says one thing and then out right lies and says, “I never took that position”. Its one thing to change your mind, but Obama lies about it.

              Thats not the scariest part either. The scariest part is that news media is knowingly not calling him on it and that so many people ONLY believe what the news tells them. My college teaching leads me to one conclusion. Democracy is over. This is the same pattern seen throughout history when despots took over a country. All you have to do is pick up a history book and read about Hitler and Musolinni, and the little red book in china with Daoi. This is not a joke and you need to wake up from the dream that the media is trying so very very very hard to sell to you.

              • obamamama

                Even though I don’t agree with you, I do appreciate that at least one person here tried to share a genuine opinion with me and didn’t just insult me (though you already did that). I see much of what you say, though I place the blame on Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld and others, not Obama. I will continue to read and try to think with an open mind. I hope you will as well.

              No wait, I never took that position what I meant to say is that Obamamama never had children on welfare and thus isn’t the sterotypical person that most against Obama would have you believe.

              What happened was that I fell pray to “old politics”. My words were misused and twisted in order to change my message, but I won’t let that happen. Those days are over, A new change is comming.

        I was going to leave, but I’m wondering what my ilk is, and how you would know that? The lock-step secrecy here is intriguing. This is still a free country with freedom of speech, right? What are you afraid of?

              • obamamama

                What rude comment did I make? I just now looked at the home page to see what the site was about. I didn’t know when I clicked on the link to get here. Fine impression you guys made. I don’t want to “talk” to you so much, I just didn’t understand some of the crazy “Atlantis” and “Hitler youth” comments. You know, people in the real world have friends who don’t agree with them about everything. I have friends who support Hillary, and those who support McCain. None of them speak to me like that, so I was surprised to hear it. I’m sure your candidate (still not sure if it’s Hillary or McCain) would be proud of your words here.

                • Donna Brazile

                  I’m voting for OBush 08!

                • DoroB

                  Unlike Obama supporters, I don’t worship my candidate. My words are my opinions.

                  It’s funny that you’re saying you don’t want to talk to us, yet you keep talking. Couldn’t resist, could you?
                  Maybe you should spend more time with your friends “in the real world” since it’s obvious you can’t take the opposing viewpoints here.

                  • obamamama

                    Actually, it was my intention to leave but I was intrigued by the intensity of the response to my visit. I was curious which candidate this was about, but blown away by the rudeness to a stranger. I can take opposing viewpoints, is that what you call these personal insults? I don’t see anything else. And by the way, I don’t worship any candidate. That’s just another insult you made to someone you know nothing about.

                    • DoroB

                      Good. Then I’m sure there’s no need to make your candidate proud or try to use it to inflict guilt on people who don’t agree with you. I read the comments. If you’re worried about manners maybe you should go back and read your own words.

                    • obamamama

                      Compare yours and mine, DoroB. I believe I was the most polite today.

                      Interpreted here as: “I love Obama”.

                      Reaction here is: We despise Obama. Ergo, you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Try Daily Kos.

                    • obamamama

                      Sure, I understand that you disagree with me. The venom surprises me. I had seen fairly nasty comments on other blogs, but never experienced such unwarranted hatred before. When confronted by a gang of bullies, you can either run or turn around and stand your ground. My instinct was to turn and stand up to you all. Maybe just one person can see that I am not a “bot” to be despised, but a real person who doesn’t fit your handy stereotypes. I know, I’m idealistic, but I’d rather be that than blindly despise anyone who disagrees with me.

                      it’s very apparent in the last few weeks that the tactic of the BOBOwenie hoard has been to morph in fine upstanding citzens that only want to discuss the issues and they are aghast that Hillary supporters are anything but civil. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha …save it for the tabloids sweets. We have been insulted. We have been accused. We have been censored. We have been banned. All this was done by you BOBOweenies in your mindless quest to have BOBO as the Dem nominee. You playing dumb about that is just another way to insult us. It’s funny too because if it’s true that you’re ignorant of the recent past, it demonstrates how clueless you are and if it isn’t true it shows us how despicable you are. Either way, in November I’m not voting for either one of those two choices

                    • obamamama

                      I am what I am, like Popeye. Not clueless or despicable. Not part of a horde, just an individual. I didn’t do any of the things you say. I just voted, caucused, went to my county convention, and occasionally post my comments on a blog. You lump us all together, why? I’m not dumb or playing dumb to not be what you claim. I try to stay informed and watch/read the news. I am truly sorry that so many good people feel betrayed and cheated. I think that’s a shame. I am curious who you will vote for and what you think we can do to fix this mess.

                    • WildChild

                      Yup, you’re an individual… that took sides. The second you did that your individuality became part if a group. Own it. This Pollyanna thing you have going is getting old. If your going to preach to someone about civility go preach to your own. LOL but if you do that they’ll eat you alive. We’ve been there . We know.

                    • obamamama

                      You should feel sorry for my family. They’ve had to put up with the Pollyanna thing a lot longer than you.

                      I know I should have left a long time ago, but I guess I just wanted you and DoroB and the others to see that you shouldn’t just lump people together and hate them blindly. I would love to see that energy put to good use.

                      We all took sides. That’s what happens in an election. Not everyone who voted for Obama disrespects Clinton. You don’t have to hate us all.

                      I will leave now, WildChild. You are right, I’ve had my say. Good luck to you in the future.

                    • WildChild

                      the age old mistake of the fringe: believing people oppose you because they hate. LOL you just showed us your true face little BOBOweenie. You will do well on the fringe.

                  • obamamama

                    Mary is the person blogging above, not me. If I were sensitive, I would have left after the first insult.

                    • WildChild

                      You should have been a hillary supporter. We’ve weathered more insults then we can count.

                    • obamamama

                      I think that’s true. Women are still not treated as they should be. I have three daughters and I appreciate what Hillary went through this year. She has opened doors and busted through ceilings for my daughters and all of us. She is courageous and smart.

                      I have been a Hillary supporter for a long time, as well as Obama. For me, it was a choice between two good candidates this year. Much of the ugly politics was practiced by the media and surrogates of many types, but blamed on the candidates. I am sick of the nastiness.

                    • WildChild

                      great, then I suppose you wouldn’t mind spending time over at Huffy Poo between now and the election practicing what you preach with the rabid BOBOweenies that populate that site. You can spread the good word…save a few souls. Oh, and please link the posts back here so we can see you are a person of your word because we’ve heard just about everything from your side and we’re not buying anymore.

                    • obamamama

                      I’ve seen the haters who support Obama, too. Nothing to admire there. But I don’t hold it against Hillary or McCain when random people are ugly on their behalf. Same goes for Obama. I guess you are referring to Huffington Post? I’m not really all that familiar with all these blogs. I generally stay over at ABCNews, where both sides argue. And yes, I get slammed there occasionally, too. Everyone does, no matter what side they are on.

                    • WildChild

                      I didn’t think you we’re going to practice what you preach. But you can’t say I didn’t give you the chance.

                    • obamamama

                      As I did you. It was very interesting meeting you.

                      By the way, I do “preach” the same thing over at ABCNews. I love stimualating, intelligent conversation but don’t like the insults.

                    • WildChild

                      Sorry sweets, I preach free speech. It’s the same thing I practice. There is no conflict in what I do.

                    • obamamama

                      Me neither. See, we have something in common.

                    • WildChild

                      yeah, we both fart too. Oh joy, lets all hold hands and have a party.

                    • obamamama

                      Sounds good, WildChild, I’ll be right over.

                    • WildChild

                      sure, all you have to do is start fighting to get Hillary on the ticket.

              • obamamama

                I’m interested in hearing opposing views. You can learn from people you disagree with. I don’t hate you because you don’t like my candidate. That would be ridiculous. My name is Louie Bond. Does that change anything? I have nothing to hide. What garbage have I spewed? If we all just talk to people we agree with, how do we learn and grow? All you have done is waste an opportunity to get your message out to someone who was willing to at least listen.

            • mahaska

              You are trying to change the subject. Subject is the vanity and sheer overblown conceit of the cs obama. If he’s ashamed to be American, planes marked and unmarked leave for Kenya everyday.

        • DoroB

          you can stay as long as you want. we get trolls here all the time. some of these people couldn’t believe that their perfect Messiah has problems.

          • obamamama

            I don’t believe my candidate is perfect. That would be foolish. I’m not ashamed of supporting him, though. Why does that make you hate me?

            • DoroB

              I’m not even for your candidate and I’m ashamed that he calls himself a Democrat. Do principles mean much to you? Things like 4th amendment? Obviously not that much if you can still proudly support him.

              Hate you? Don’t delude yourself.

              • obamamama

                I guess I wouldn’t be that rude to someone unless I hated them. I actually don’t agree with Obama’s FISA vote, but he is still more in line with my beliefs than McCain. Who is your candidate?

                • DoroB

                  Nice tactic-calling other people rude when you’re the one who was rude. Look at your own words.

                  And Obama’s beliefs are?
                  I can tell you what they were. He used to believe in things like public financing and opposing FISA.
                  Go ahead and count on his beliefs. He’s still in line with your beliefs…today.

                  • obamamama

                    After being called drunk, a welfare mother, deluded and some other weird things like “Hitler youth” and “Atlantis” that I don’t even understand, I think I showed some restraint in my response. What I really don’t understand is why you don’t answer when I ask sincerely who your candidate is. Seems like that would be a better way to convince me than by attacking me and my candidate.

                    • dgr

                      Our Candidate is ANY one, and I mean ANYone, but Barack Obama. You see, it is all about Obama. Just ask Obama. Ask him about the people he did for in South Chicago. Their rat infested unheated apartments that are falling apart, and that his cronies, the ones he brought the goods home to ~ in the form of taxpayer money ~ you see, it is all touchy feely in Chicago, “you do for me, I do for you” – yeah, Barack Obama’s friends, and by association, since it was after all Government money he steered their way, political pals, his contributors, and advisors; >gasp< all that money went to those persons to keep that housing rehabilitated and maintained, well gee, I am hyperventilating, go and see for yourself. I can’t take it anymore, he turns my stomach typing _all about him_. He is a wonder. A real work of nature. Watch the video on this page, at the Boston Globe website

                      I see you couldn’t resist this website’s “rudeness.”
                      Your restraint is a tool to highlight your so-called feelings of victimhood. It’s not going to work because you were the one who started the insult, and then piteously complained about others’ responses.
                      I don’t feel the need to answer your question or the need to convince you, but be assured I will never support someone who flagrantly threw so many liberal causes under the bus.

                    • obamamama

                      I’m tenacious to a fault, I’ll admit. I don’t feel victimized or piteous. But can you truly not see a bit of ganging up and unwarranted ugliness on here? Have we really sunk that low? I like to think that there is still decency underneath the teeth you all bare at me.

                    • WildChild

                      LMAO, OMG you’re a tool. Don’t preach to us about civility. Go preach to your own. You’ll find that they turn on you faster than we do.

                      You’re sure something is happening to you but you’re asking me if it’s happening to you?

                    • obamamama

                      It just seems silly to keep telling me to leave when I have as much right to be here as anybody.

                    • WildChild

                      I really don’t care what you do. But I’d appreciate it if you’d quit whining about your treatment. No one is forcing you to be here. If you can’t toughen up, do us all a favor and go cry somewhere else.

          • obamamama

            I have no idea what you are talking about. I’m just a regular person who isn’t interested in demonizing candidates whether I’m for them or not. Frankly, I like Hillary and McCain, think they are good people motivated to help their country. I’m glad to have a better choice than usual, both in the primary and the general election. You guys seem to be awfully angry, and I can’t really understand why. I guess I hung around to try to figure it out. My browser went down yesterday, so I checked back in this morning. Glad I didn’t miss the “lying sack of paid troll in a fat mama dress” comment.

            • DoroB

              Do you really want to understand why?
              Who wouldn’t be angry when their votes are only counted as 1/2, when the candidate they voted for possibly will not have a presence at the convention, when the votes for their candidate were taken away and given to the one they didn’t want, when the so-called candidate of hope and change made personal insults and false attacks taken from the right-wing play book, when the candidate of hope used the African-American community to get votes and sympathy but repeatedly snubbed them? Of course you wouldn’t understand. None of the trolls understand.

              • obamamama

                As a Texan, I can tell you that our primary system is already being worked on for next time. That’s what I think needs to happen. I’d like to see a vote count equally no matter where it is cast. We all need to work together to fix the broken system so that we don’t wind up at each other’s throats again four years from now. I saw shameful attacks on both sides, and little talk about issues. That hurts all of us and our country. Florida and Michigan were an absolute mess. I can certainly put myself in your shoes and understand the pain and anger you feel. I just prefer to work for change than sit and fume. You and I may very well have siimilar visions for this country, but we’ll never know if we can’t get past the primary.

                • DoroB

                  And by getting past primary, you think we should all just get over it. Sorry, these are important issues. If by fixing the broken system, the people with no power should just give in to the powerful, it does nothing to change the status quo. I see no effort on the side of Democratic elites and the Obama campaign to address any of these issues, but I see a lot of calls to “get over it.” And by “working for change,” you enable Obama to continue stepping on liberal values, disregarding principles, and insulting women. You are helping to continue the status quo.
                  No one wanted to talk about the issues more than Hillary during the primary, so don’t use that excuse. Your argument that you saw attacks on both sides is a glib way to gloss over Obama’s lack of principles.

                  • obamamama

                    Not “just get over it.” Democrats in Texas (both Clinton and Obama supporters) are meeting to change our primary system. How is that giving in? I don’t think the primary system was fair, so I am working to change it. Don’t you want that, too? This needs to happen in every state and within the DNC.

          Freedom of speech? What are you babbling about. This is not a government site.

          Your ilk is that you repeat a tired script. Your ilk always promises to leave and then stays. No one here cares what you think or do.

          You merely provide a springboard for discussion and support that “you people” are just nuts.

          Also, if you notice, each thread is dedicated to a topic. So, if people will not bow down to your demands, then find a thread or subject area where you can contribute.

          You started out snarky so what sort of response did you expect?

          Most people here disagree about many issue and we do not insult each other. I realize you have stayed to feed your ego. Why don’t you just relish in the accomplishments of your children who hopefully do not feel the need to be a cranky poster on a blog.

          “Yeah, my mom is a cranky blogger lady.”

          • obamamama

            “No one here cares what you think or do.”

            Really? You speak for everyone who posts on this blog? I find that hard to believe. I’m not cranky in the least, nor afraid of your harshness. You seem proud to not insult those who agree with you, but it doesn’t seem like much to be proud of. I only spoke about my children when asked if I was a welfare mom. I have every right to be here, the same as you. I actually find it funny that you think freedom of speech only exists on “government sites.” Your America is a lot less free than the one enjoyed by someone of my “ilk.”

            • wants to stay free

              you just want to be the center of attention and I hate to inform you but OBAMA has already tried that. You want to take all the attention away from the issues and focus on yourself. It’s very old. you want everyone talking to you not looking at the real issues at hand….. come on people just ignore it and get back to what really matters.

    • wants to stay free

      I didn’t realize that being a proud american was spouting craziness! I thought that was the biggest issue. If Obama WAS a proud Americn there wouldn’t be an issue. He can only support his own ego, and he must have worked out an awful lot to be able to carry such a load of BS.

    Obama’s narcisism coupled with his distain for American symbols that include the flag have been significant patterns guiding this man’s entire campaign. How many times does Obama and his wife have to tell voters he has no respect for America before the average voter, including those young voters who may as of yet fail to understand what democracy REALLY means, “gets it”? The rampant disrespect for our nation, its laws, values, and DEMOCRACY has been pervasive yet we still have citizens who somehow think this individual is going to represent our nation at home and abroad in a favorable light. Impossible for any person with half a brain, including myself to understand.

  • Josh from Brooklyn

    Now I’m not one to criticize too much, but the writer of this blog is a liar and a moron.

    First of all, the two planes in the pictures are clearly different planes.
    One is Air Force one, and OF COURSE it has the Flag on it’s tail, it’s the President’s plane.
    What the writer fails to mention is that a majority of commercial planes have their logo on the tail, not the flag, and most private jets have nothing at all on the tail.
    Nice try geinus.

      Air Forc One is used only by the President. Not a racist.

    “I’m actually starting to wonder about the symbol.”

    It represents his campaign. Which is why he put it on the jet he uses as transport for the campaign.
    Just like any commercial airliner would.
    Really not that hard to understand.

    He is the candidate of change. He’s changed his position on every issue, and now he has to redecorate his airplane, also. This guy is the Mitt Romney of the Democratic Party. I guess he feels he has money to burn, with his “new” public financing to go with his “new” politics – reminds me of my kids when they got their first paycheck.

    The plane he was using before starting in March, at least according to this picture:

    http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/barack_obama_gets_new_campaign.html

    seemed to have the American flag on the tail and he did use that plane to travel around the country- so I guess you would say that when he flew in his previous plane with a painted flag, he was appropriately patriotic, but now that his campaign symbol has replaced the flag (it’s probably just an unpatriotic coincidence his campaign seal is red, white and blue, right?), he is no longer a good American?

    Usually it has been knob-heads like Karl Rove and the hypocritical right-wing that took part in these character assassinations based on the most narrow, limited and superficial definitions of patriotism- but I guess that’s changed and some on the left have adopted the lame tactic…

    “Coordination between the Obama campaign and the House and Senate leadership is so weak that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) – who will chair the Democrats’ convention in August – didn’t know of Obama’s decision to move his final-night acceptance speech from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field until the campaign announced it on a conference call with reporters.”

    It’s a campaign logo, for Pete’s sake! Obama’s campaigning, remember? He’s touring overseas as a candidate.

And hey, it is all red, white, and blue.

    I can only imagine the howls of disapproval if Obama’s plane actually had looked like Air Force One. Or had simply displayed a flag prominantly and had United States of America in bold letters down the side…

    Senator Obama appears to me to be a brand name that being marketed to the world, the same as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and the Rolling Stones. The difference between the latter three and Senator Obama is that the three brand names have a long, successful history of providing a quality product to every corner of the world. Senator Obama couldn’t even succeed at providing affordable housing in one city.

    In February will USPS vehicles be repainted with the O logo? Will Flag Day next June bring new O flags?

    I get a chill down my spine envisioning the United States of Obama.

    Marketing has it’s place, even in presidential campaigns. However, when marketing of the candidate supersedes the United States of America and the ideals our nation is based on, something has gone terribly, horribly wrong. When a candidate removes the flag from his plane while on a tour of foreign nations, he’s no longer a representative of the United States. Instead he’s representing his own interests, separate from those of the United States.

    Can a rocket be attached to the plane so it can search out another planet in the solar system where Senator Obama can continue boldly on in creating Planet Obama?

      Marketing has it’s place, even in presidential campaigns. However, when marketing of the candidate supersedes the United States of America and the ideals our nation is based on, something has gone terribly, horribly wrong.

      I think the Obama campaign is utilizing the marketing strategy you describe because it worked for Ronald Reagan. The msm enabled then as now.

      • Monet

        Marketing did work very well for Ronald Reagan. It’s been over twenty years now and maybe I don’t remember the 1980 and 1984 campaigns accurately, but I don’t remember President Reagan superseding the flag and the U.S. I remember a man with campaigns that belted the heck out the flag, all in the name of patriotism. I remember a Reagan who was determined to raise the flag so high no other nation could ever come near to touching it. (Whether he did that or not, is debatable based on one’s personal views of his presidency). I didn’t agree with the Reagan Presidency on much, but his administration wasn’t so blatant as to minimize the U.S. while puffing out its feathers. The greatness of the nation came first, then Reagan.

        I’m not a flag waver. I love the flag and can tear up when hearing the Star Spangled Banner, but I feel no need to display or wear the flag. I’ve been able to over look Senator Obama’s stance on flag pins. However, removing the flag was the plane and replacing it with his logo, that is unsettling to me. He’s overseas representing the United States. If there’s room for his website url on the plane, there’s room to paint USA or a flag.

        Senator Obama doesn’t appear to have any sense of the richness of our history as a nation. It has no impression on him. His campaign is about the greatness of Obama. I feel like this election is the evil twin of American Idol.

How interesting I read on both candates of Obama and McCain and listen to there campaign logos on T.v. and still think where is my future going to be and my childerns future. My father who was Canadian who came to the states fought in the vietnam war and became a citizen was a great patriot he hang the American flag everday and then his Canadian flag underneath he tought me that I should be thankful for the things I work for and the freedom I have. I am.. I see that everyday and hope that my children see too.

  • Magic_Al

    The “flag” that was on the tail of this aircraft was the logo of North American Airlines. If Obama had not removed it would be confused with a North American Airlines airliner at any airport that airline flies to. It was necessary that the plane be repainted in a way that would not use the trade dress of a commercial entity. It’s a used plane. No matter what was on the tail, it was going to get repainted with Obama’s logo. If it had happened to come from a different airline with a different, non-flag logo, this so-called issue would not exist. The plane still has a flag next to its registry number on the fuselage, to indicate nationality just like on any other plane.

    The real question that needs to be asked is why Americans are so gullible. Why, once someone or something has persuaded us to take a negative view of someone, do we drop all our critical thinking skills and believe all gossip and all internet and e-mail rumors about a person?

    Check Snopes.com. Obama removed an airline logo to customize the plane for his campaign. Obama’s own logo is certainly not less patriotic than McCain’s!.

    As for the person who posted this, I’d love to know what patriotism is expressed in ignoring that great American legal principle, “innocent until proven guilty”. It would not have taken much investigation to show that your claims, if “true”, were also not (as the oath says) “the whole truth and nothing but the truth”. Why is it that people are allowed to get away with such UnAmerican behavior if they slap the label “patriotic” on it?

Didnt something come across where he wouldnt sing the national anthem because the bombs bursting in air showed or supported war?? I wouldnt be suprised IF he ever is elected president he would ban that song at formal meetings or wherever it is sung now. and possibly ban the american flag on american aircrafts.

    Oh you’re so right Elizabeth.  Obama went to a madrasa and sat at a long, low table all day and MEMORIZED verses of the Koran.  And his birth certificate really ISN’T in Hawaii.  It’s from some Islamic country- you make the choice, because it seems that that is all you and the rest of these donkeys are good for.  Regurgitated, straw-split, unfounded vitriol.  Because we all know that ALL Islamic people are evil, right Elzabeth, just like ALL Christains are good, right Elizabeth?  I guess that the IRA and Timothy McVeigh DIDN’T kill all of those people.  Must have been Muslims.  And I don’t put my hand over my heart.  Just like when I pray I don’t close my eyes.  I guess because since I am th eonly one who does that, it’s unreligious.  And as for the flag on the lapel.  You people need better stuff than this to accuse someone of being anti- American.  I don’t wear a teeny weeny little American flag anywhere on my body, nor does the entire county board of supervisors in my county, neither does my governor.  Hmm, I guess that we’re all un_american, even though we all pay outr taxes, we participate in the  process and some of us even occupy public office to try to make this country better.  Can’t wait until the Conservatives and the Tea Partiers split the Republican vote in November.  And way to go Steele sand the RNC.  Good examples for the kids.  Helluva job guys!.  Keep it up.

    I love a great debate, however the right wing once more sets the stage with pork and lies. The plane shown here is not Air Force One. It was used during the Champaigne Trail prior to Presidency. Today he uses Air Force One with the standard logo. You guys are so damn dangerous to our American Society that it is frieghtening. Get on board to a better America. To build a better nation. Stop lying and start speaking truth….No Quarter by the way means, to kill them all….as the Mexicans flew during the Battle of the Alamo.

  • guest

    roger…. this is nothing but an obama hate site.  anyone who publishes here or posts comments will repeat any lie told on Fox News without even checking their facts.  i figure it mostly OLD OLD people who are just mean and bitter about a black man being president.  i stop by here from time to time for a good laugh at some of the shit posted. 

  • roger

    Hey, he is half white….Hater’s. I served this nation for 24 years hearing Marines refuse to salute Clinton, not true. Read plane found in Iraq desert buried by Saddam, not true, and the crap to think Palin could be President, OMG….I can not be proud of any American who will lie to gain control or to create terror of our people. No Quarter does this. This sight is worst than the terrorist of the middle east. I don’t mind a good debate between right wing, left wing or down the middle….but I will be a PATROIT and not lie to create such a hate…..or disruption of our nation. No time in my life do we need to come together to make a Better America. A greater Nation and one that our Constitution and Declaration of Independence will continue to have meaning. What is No Quarter? SS Nazi’s?

      Hmm, I remember Obama egotistically gloating that he won the presidency during the Health Care debates, a medical intrusion  Americans emphatically do not want.  Mr. O leaned back in his chair, smiled and said, “We won,” as though this so-called “win” gave him the right to arrogantly impose an imperialistic rule over the lives of hard-working patriotic people.   

      God works in beautiful ways when we believe and pray.  Join together in prayer to get this prideful and selfish man out of office in our blessed land.

    Air Force One is his official plane as president of the US. The article says that the plane with the “O” symbol, etc, is his campaign plane.  Two DIFFERENT planes, each with a different purpose.

    I want Obama out as soon as possible.  But getting all steamed up about him not having the flag in his campaign aircraft, while beginning an article talking about AF One is  likely to show conservatives either as tricksters, trying to confuse an  issue, or as idiots, who cannot tell the difference between an official aircraft and an airplane for a different purpose.

    Let’s be passionate, but not foolish or misleading.

        Hey Kid, Go back to school and finish your History and Government class, According to the United States Supreme Court, Obama is ineligible to be the President. That’s right, you read that correctly. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Obama is ineligible to serve as President. And as far as creating new jobs, That was Temp government jobs long gone now, We are far worse now then we ever were, And to say to the people we  will just spend are way out of this ressision/depression is just insane.

    Kind of funny how many people are so ready to believe Obama would do this. He didn’t, of course. That’s his private campaign jet, and as with any private property, he can do with it as he likes. You support private property rights, yes? Instead of thinking rationally, most folks here just seem happy to go off the deep end.

    There are definitely some disgruntled Republicans on here. The shame is, the Republican party has made such a mess in every state (including Wisconsin, shame on you Scott Walker) that they have very little chance of winning any election. You will all see come election time that the Republicans in all their Glory have caused their own demise. It is sad but true. I think the only candidate that could save the Republican Party would be Ron Paul and the average Republicans are to blind to support him. So we will end up with 4 more years.

    First of all, you dude, are an  idiot. You and your entourage of retarded sheep. Yeah, I said retarded sheep. Retarded because of your choice, to agree with a moron who couldn’t  get his story facts correct before posting. And sheep because one after the next after the next you other people jumped on his ‘ tards only ‘ PMS bitch wagon like it was the thing to do.  Shameful. And
    President Obama is not making a  mess of this country. It was already a mess right from the start for him. The downward spiral of  our Auto & Housing Industry,  the stock market crash,  the billions of federal reserve dollars taken/stolen against our wishes, happened under  President G.W. Bush’s command, not to mention the myriad of other economical failures  that immediately  followed. These are indisputable facts and to say otherwise is a blatant lie.  President Obama started his presidency with the United States  facing one of  the worst economical collapse this country has ever seen.  So get off the man you racist  A- holes.  8 years of George Bush and beyond, a faulty congress with members that have been there way too long and forgot they’re supposed to do whats best  for the country not just  for themselves and a certain few, and the greed of dishonest wall street fat cats are what screwed this country and the hard working people  in it.  The disappearance of 401K  monies, homes, jobs, etc. went rampid under Bush’s lead not President Obama’s. You should all know this already. It took  many years of corruption to do the damage that was done. To place blame  and/or  expect our new president to fix everything in just a couple of short years is absolutely ridiculous. And that flag on that plane isn’t a real flag, it’s a painted picture of our flag. It’s also  not   “the new symbol of America”.  It’s art work expressing his creative  passion  and love for this country. To deny the President  freedoms you yourself  enjoy, makes you the villain dumb ass.  He isn’t  telling  you how to  paint your ride.  I found that design to be pretty cool looking. It’s certainly not our flag, but it surely screams USA all over it.  It’s too bad you have no mind for art or design.  As for the things that concern you……?…… WTF  are you doing?  Of all the problems in our world today, your “deep  concerns” are of the presidents wardrobe accesory choice, whether or not he puts his hand over his heart ,  and flag stick pins?  Really?  Seriously?
    And last but not least,you claiming to be a “patriotic american citizen” . I don’t believe you even know what that means. American citizen?….Probably. Patriotic?…..Fuck NO.
    Belittling the President of the United States of America is the complete opposite of patriotic. Get a dictionary dumb ass. Barack Obama Is The President Of The United States Of America! Bashing a United States President while he is in Office is something that   ENEMIES  of our country do. Wheres your PATRIOTISM  now you stupid shit stain?

      I think you need to do some homework.. First I do not support Obama.. But this is not Air Force One, its his campaign plane from 2008 big freaking deal…  On the note that you were saying  “The downward spiral of our Auto & Housing Industry, the stock market crash, the billions of federal reserve dollars taken/stolen against our wishes, happened under President G.W. Bush’s command, “  Yes Bush borrowed money but that was over a course of 8 YEARS and Obama has borrowed TRILLIONS OVER A COURSE OF 3 YEARS.   So your points just do not make any sense.  Unemployment is also up since when Bush was President and the number of food stamp recipients has more than doubled so you really think its bushs’ fault that Obama borrowed triple the amount of money and sent more people to food stamps that makes no sense I’m done

    An American Tail

    Claim:   Barack Obama removed the U.S. flag from the tail of his airplane and replaced it with his own logo.

    MIXTURE OF TRUE AND FALSE INFORMATION:

    PARTLY TRUE: The U.S. flag was removed from the tail of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign plane and replaced with his campaign logo.

     

    FALSE: The U.S. flag has been removed from the tail of Air Force One and replaced with the Obama campaign logo.

    Examples:

    [Collected via e-mail, July 2008]

    Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And
    as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from
    the tail…

    What American running for President of the United States would remove
    the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a
    symbol of himself…

     

    [Collected via e-mail, December 2011]

    HOW DOES ANYONE GET AWAY WITH THIS? SAD.

    Obama Removes American Flag from His Plane

    He has turned Air Force One into a campaign slogan carrier… not only
    the Obama Campaign logo on the tail, it bears his Campaign Slogan. I do
    believe in most States there are laws against something so blatantly an
    abuse of power, using public funds for campaigning. Atop this
    “personalization of Air Force One”, Obama has logged more miles than any
    previous President. We have a triple A president Audacity, Abuse, and
    Arrogance… He should pay for the cost of repainting/restoring the
    craft…. this guy has to go.

    Origins:   Given the length and breadth of modern presidential campaigns, it has become de rigueur
    for most major-party candidates to have their own airplanes for
    ferrying themselves and staffers, press, security, and other personnel
    from stop to stop along the campaign trail. Such planes may be
    purchased by the candidate’s campaign, or they may be leased or
    chartered from commercial airlines. Typically when a campaign owns its
    own airplane or leases a plane under a dedicated charter arrangement,
    the aircraft’s exterior markings will be modified to identify it as a
    particular candidate’s campaign plane, with some notable recent examples
    of this practice including aircraft used by presidential candidates Bob Dole (1996), George W. Bush (2000), John Kerry (2004) and John McCain’s “Straight Talk Express” campaign plane (from 2008):

    Although Senator Barack Obama flew on a variety of aircraft during the
    long 2008 presidential campaign season, from March through June 2008 he primarily used a Boeing 757-200ER aircraft chartered from (and operated by) North American
    Airlines as his campaign plane. During that period, the plane bore the
    standard color scheme and company markings of a North American Airlines
    aircraft:

    However, once the primary campaign effectively ended and Senator Obama
    became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, his campaign
    plane underwent a month-long refurbishment to prepare it for the general
    election campaign, a process that included reconfiguring the interior
    seating and modifying the exterior markings to identify and publicize
    the aircraft as Barack Obama’s official campaign plane. The latter
    activity included replacing the North American Airline color scheme and
    markings with the Obama campaign slogan (“Change We Can Believe In”),
    the BARACKOBAMA.COM domain name, and Obama’s sunrise/flag “O” campaign logo:

    Two U.S. flag images were removed from the airplane during the
    refurbishment, although technically they were not ordinary
    representations of the American flag; rather, they were commercial
    markings of North American Airlines, whose logo (a registered trademark of that company) employs a stylized rendition of the U.S. flag.
    The North American flag/logo on the forward portion of the fuselage
    was removed and the one on the tail was replaced with the Obama “O”
    campaign logo, while traditional depictions of the U.S. flag adjacent to the plane’s registration numbers remained:

    Original North American version

    Modified Obama campaign version

    In late 2011, pictures of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign plane were recirculated with the claim that the U.S. flag
    had been removed from Air Force One and replaced with an Obama campaign
    logo. This claim is completely false: both of the two Boeing 747-200B airplanes typically used by the President of the United States (and commonly referred to as Air Force One)

    remain with their standard markings (i.e., the words “United States of
    America,” the American flag, and the Seal of the President of the United
    States) intact:

    Someone might find the following interesting.

    It answers a lot of questions pertaining to who paid for Obam’s campaign plain and/or who is responsible for paying to have the plain in question repainted after the presidential election is over.

    Fact Check.org

    Posted on August 8, 2008

    Q: Did Obama replace the U.S. flag on the tail of his campaign plane with his campaign symbol? A: Yes. Obama’s newly designed campaign plane features the campaign’s logo on the tail. However, an image of the U.S. flag appears on the side of the plane.

    FULL QUESTION

    I was sent an e-mail about Barack Obama’s plane. It said that he had removed the American flag from the tail of his plane and replaced it with another symbol. Can this be true?

    WHAT A DISGRACE!!! AND HE IS ALL AMERICAN????

    Obama The Patriot – Removes American Flag From His Plane

    The Patriot Room
    Posted on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:11:07 AM by Bill Dupray

    Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail…

    　

    FULL ANSWER

    On July 20, before Sen. Barack Obama took off on a week-long overseas tour that included stops in the Middle East and Europe, his campaign unveiled a newly designed Boeing 757 plane that the Illinois senator, members of his campaign staff, secret service and members of the press corps will use for the remainder of his campaign. The plane features first class, business and coach seating, with new carpet and leather chairs and a brand new paint job of the exterior.

    Prior to the redesign, Obama had used a number of planes for his traveling needs, but the plane in question was one he has chartered from North American Airlines since late March. The design of that plane had featured two images of the American flag: a small wavy flag that was displayed on the side of the aircraft and a much larger image of the flag that appeared on the plane’s tail. According to NAA’s director of corporate communications, Steve Forsyth, both images are typical of North American Airline planes. “The flag design is used on the tails of all North American aircraft (Boeing 757s and 767s) and is in the corporate logo,” said Forsyth. However, neither image is a part of the Obama campaign’s new plane design.

    Obama’s freshly painted plane features his campaign slogan, “Change We Can Believe In,” and his Web site name on the side, and the campaign’s sunrise “O” symbol on the tail, instead of the American flag. However, an image of the flag does appear on the body of the plane with its tail number.

    When asked about the plane’s new look sans the flag on the tail, Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor said, “I’d note that there is a flag on the side of Senator Obama’s plane, near the center. I’d also note that there is not a flag on the tail of John McCain’s plane. Lastly, I’d note that I don’t think plane design should lead us to question the patriotism of either candidate.”

    It is probably worth mentioning that Sen. John McCain’s campaign Boeing 737 plane does not feature a U.S. flag on its tail either. As these images from CNN show, it does feature one on the side of the plane near the campaign’s slogan, “Reform. Prosperity. Peace.”

    　

    Note: The Obama campaign plain for 2008 and 2012 were leased plains chartered from North American Airlines and are not government owned plains as I originally thought.
    　
    Now, pertaining to who has to pay for repainting the plain in question after the presidential campaign is over, it is the responsibility of North American Airlines to repaint the plain in question to the specification of the organization and/or entity who decides to lease it from them at a later date.

  • TruknFool

    It’s very disrespectful to the American People however you look at it. This is not his country, its ours. And they way he is turning our rights as Americans to his own agenda is disrespectful for the American People who built this country to the fighting men and woman of all the Branches of Service, who have died and fought for our rights, and for all the veterans and their families for the sacrifices. And in almost 4 yrs he has put our country in disarray and we need to vote a new president who will turn our country around for the better. And even if the new president cant get the deficit back to normal, anything is better than what we have now.

    disinformation is being generated here. be a proclaimer of the TRUTH. wrong plane, he did not alter Air Force One. AF1 is a 747
    not a 737

    This is a crap load of BS. This is a campaign jet, not Air Force One.

    Remember it’s “better to remain silent and be judged a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt”.  You are obviously a fool or you’d know AIR FORCE ONE is the official plane for U.S. PRESIDENTS, not some corrupt politician’s tool.

  • WildChild

    ahhhhhh so then what you’re saying is that BOBO didn’t even rent American with all that money Americans gave him. BOBO is a man who just goes out if his way to support his country…Not! (Heh Heh Heh) It’s definitely and interesting technique to get around having to be a patriot though. Why are we voting for this weenie again?

  • It’s me

    You obviously have no idea how aircraft finance works. . .like ships, very few aircraft are owned by US enities for tax purposes. They are owned by leasing companies that set themselves up offshore of the US. So even the US airlines don’t lease American owned planes. Sorry to confuse you with the facts and yes, I do know a little about aircraft finance since I dabble in the industry.

  • kellie

    You’re not voting for him remember? You’re voting for Mccain. It’s just like when you voted for Bush in the last 2 elections.

  • WildChild

    Bwah HA HA HA. Let me introduce you to a little known fact. BOBO isn’t an airline and he is running for president of the United States. In your defense you are telling us that BOBO practices the selling out of American Jobs to foreign interests, is perfectly OK with the practice of selling out American jobs to foreign interests, and it’s Ok because everybody else is doing it. Thank you, you have just laid out what a spineless little weasel BOBOwaffles and his BOBOweenie followers are. Is BOBO change we can believe in? Not according to you. BOBO is that same old same old go with the flow faux American that we used to call republican. The only change is that BOBO has been repackaged for a different political party and a new set of mindless tools.

  • Pat Knif

    So what’s the point you’re supposedly making?

  • Pat Knif

    Dear It’s me, what’s the point you’re supposedly making other than that Obama’s not paying tax for use of the plane that he’s repainted in his usual manner of self-glorification. (I’ve heard that he faithfully worships at a shrine dedicated to himself at least 3 times every day day)

  • WildChild

    You know it;’s funny, in this election I’m voting for a republican for the first time since 1988. But on November fifth you’re the one that will have voted republican…LOL but you’ll be fine with it because he called himself a democrat.

  • kellie

    Blah blah blah lifelong democrat blah blah never voted republican blah blah.
    No one cares.
    He doesn’t need you vote or the other 25 people who post on here but make up multiple names so it appears that a lot of people post on here.
    Voter registration for DEMOCRATS is soaring all over the country. Do you think they registering so they can vote for McCain, um, I doubt it.

  • WildChild

    You have to listen before you can care sweets. I didn’t say I was a life long democrat (hint: I gave that away when I said I voted republican in 1988). As far as voter registration is concerned it isn’t the new registrants you have to be worried about. If you had at least half a brain you’d be wondering if the new registrants are enough to make up for all the old registrants that won’t be voting BOBO. But I guess we’ll all know the answer to that question come November.
