Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane
The Patriot Room ^ | July 22, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 07/22/2008 6:11:07 AM PDT 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. 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.

Photo of plane reprinted with written permission of the photographer.

Plenty of room for the hammer and sickle in the white of his logo.

Just another example that he really believes he is “The One.” Wonder how long he’s going to get away with it.

It’s all about branding. And there are enough gullible consumers to buy his BS.

I looked but could not find one. It apparently did have the flag on the tail though.

I think Obama allows these small irritants to provoke the public into anger - while deflecting an even more serious side of his campaigning.

He now wants to preach at Hitler’s favorite place in Germany?

He refuses to wear our nation’s flag in his lapel?

He is and was brought up as a Muslim - there is no doubt.
The highly charged anti-American “Christian church” is another deception.

How this monster has been put in a position to head up our nation in its most powerful position amazes me there are so many people who will believe the garbage they are being fed - but that is the result of our ‘advertising mindset’ and how we continue to allow this adoration by the media without pause.

I also question why Israel has been the only nation to have an ‘incident of violence’ on his tour? Another orchestration perhaps?

So the flag he removed is the tail logo for North American Airlines.

I’m guessing when he got on the plane the paint fell off out of embarrassment.

You know, I'm going to give Barry Hussein the benefit of the doubt on this one. I'm willing to bet that the big flag was removed from the aircraft tail for security reasons, since I can't imagine a more tempting target for some terrorist to take a potshot at it with an old Soviet SA-7 Grail should-launched surface-to-air missile.

Simply put, flying into the heart of the Middle East with a big U.S. flag emblazoned on the jet is probably not the smartest thing to do.

Also look at the color scheme of the plane. It's is patterned after AF1. This guy is doing everything he can to make himself seam presidential.

Since he’s making his “messiah” tour I wonder... does his plane have an active missile defense?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.

Like it or not he’s a target of being “America” now and I doubt Dumbo the Socialist has any idea of that and neither do his supporters.

Actually, the flag on the tail and by the door (if you notice they aren't actually accurate U.S. flags) are part of the North American Airlines paint scheme.



It appears Obama chartered the plane from them and just decided to paint over their scheme. This seems much ado about nothing.

Looks like he has two planes, judging from the photos. Maybe the newer plane never even had the American flag on it. That’s my guess.

Somebody posted earlier that the circular Obama logo represents the American flag being flushed down the commode.

Coincidence? Unintentional?

I still say that bi-sected blue circle looks like a crescent. And I'm not the only one who sees the symbolism. Additionally, the red stripes can easily be seen to represent a curved scimitar.
I'm not saying that it is a subliminal message or anything, but...it certainly is sufficiently reminiscent of the Islamic crescent and scimitar that I would think anyone who is battling accusations of being a closet Muslim would consider picking a different logo.

This is the globalist ideology. Nationalistic symbols are to be erased and nationality must be made a thing of the past. We are all to be global citizens living in states, not countries.

National pride is considered by globalists to be the source of war, hatred, and intolerance. Never mind greed, power and corruption. This is the new sexy.

Religion will be next. We are all going to pray to the same global god the same way and at the same time. But it will be first introduced as, “Religious tolerance”. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Wick en, and others will be allowed to pray in one “Temple” only if the prayer is nondenominational or religion specific. This is how the new global religion will be born.

No flags, no crosses, no stars and no moons. Crazy? We'll see. What do think Communism tried to do and is still trying to do?

I wish McCain’s campaign would do an add such as this picture...The good-looking serviceman against the muslim, adorned in appropriate attire. This would not influence the likes of the people that visit FR or who are otherwise cognizant of issues, but for the large group of Americans that vote based on appearance only, this would have a significant influence.

The McCain campaign will most probably not do it...but we can do it for them on our own all over the net, on emails, etc., etc. and reach millions.

I am going to post a shameless suck up to Mr. Robinson and his crew.

I have learned much from your site and the membership who write here - finding my way through the maze of a new nation and a political system I gave little thought to until I finally committed.

This has been a stressful time for many here and by the very nature of the media behavior and the savior attitude of one candidate it has become a very sad commentary on the state of our Union.

I have the newbie jitters big time!

Still I find peace and comfort knowing people like your membership exist and thank you all so much for the information and intelligence you people choose to put out rather than what is loosely called public information these days.

The nation isn’t lost - just wandered off the trail -

Bless all of you. You have all inherited the strength and vision of your forefathers.

Well, Obama’s slip about visiting 57 states and this new symbol have one thing in common, the OIC, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. They have 57 member states. Ever see their flag? Coincidence???

It is also reminiscent of the symbol on the flag of the OIC, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. And guess what? The OIC has 57 member states.....didn’t Barack mention visiting 57 states in the US....Freudian slip?

Without insulting your intelligence; may I offer you a suggestion of cross referencing your "facts" at this cool site called "Politifact" http://www.politifact.com. Another site is http://snopes.com. I received an e-mail once that falsely claimed Barack Obama refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Another spread a bogus quote from a satirical article that said Obama wanted to replace the Star-Spangled Banner with an old Coca-Cola theme song. (Many people didn't get the joke and forwarded the e-mail to friends.)

Now comes another attack on Barack Obama's patriotism that says his campaign replaced an American flag on the tail of the senator's charter plane with the Obama logo. The fact is that the tail was changed by painting over a corporate logo (North American Airlines) that happened to feature an American flag, not eliminating a stand-alone flag - which, I gotta tell you (as a VA Vet by the way)that I would have probably done the same not wanting to use NA Airlines logo as my own. Barack Obama's plane is no less patriotic than John McCain's. I've learned over the years not to emotionally jump the gun when I read, reply or participate to "chain letters", blogs, posts or group forums only because even though I may not have started the rumor my negative comments can still ruin a candidates reputation once publicize don the internet by adding fuel to a nasty fire that was INTENDED to spread by getting a reaction out of constituents that pass the rumor along by merely responding or sharing with family and friends. As it turned out, I stumbled upon your post while doing my own cross referencing and "fact checking". I felt compelled to respond. You are probably a FANTASTIC person who meant no harm, still I want to preserve both candidates reputations whenever the opportunity presents itself. Good luck on Election Day!
