Obama Removes US Flag from Plane
World Net Daily ^ | July 21, 2008 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 07/22/2008 7:24:18 AM PDT by econjack

As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.

Evidently this guy's own self-image is more important to him than the country he seeks to represent.

I think Barack Hussein Obama’s true colors are starting to bleed thru very early in the general campaign.

He is a phony, and I think George Soros is the puppetmaster behind him.

It’s just part of his carefully-crafted image. The reason the plane had a flag on its tail is that it’s flown by North American airlines, and he’s leasing it. So it’s not terribly surprising that they’d re-paint it in the standard Brand Obama colors, font, and symbols.

The more I look at this guy, the more I see not a politician, but a product. He’s toothpaste. He’s cola. He’s packaged like pasta.

Ah, the proverbial 'O.'

Many don't know that it's the international sign of the doughnut instantly recognized by Martians.

Well, there is some relevant correlation here in that Obama's brain is rather like a lump of unbaked doughtnut dough.

Line up fools. Pull his lever and bask in the evil he will wrought with his demented Democrat and Republicrat allies.

An Obama reign will be like an ice age, or rather like a movie which should be in technicolor being shown in stark black and white.

Just heard him disrespecting General Petraeus. He stated that while he understands the General’s need to be flexible when it comes to Iraq, he Obama has the rest of the world to consider and he, Obama, wants troops deployed to Afghanistan.

No doubt his voters are shocked to learn that OUT OF IRAQ really means INTO AFGHANISTAN.

FINALLY....A plane Michelle can be proud of.

Since Hussein is so un-American it only makes sense that the Stars and Stripes would not be an important part of his S&M tour. (S&M=smoke and mirrors or let your imagination run wild).

Yes, he’s a BIG phoney, but millions of Americans are jumping on shrine of Obama and will vote for him. If/When (perish the thought) he gets into the White House, we are in for the ride of our lives. This guy will prove to be a dangerous alternative to McCain, and America will slowly begin to rue the day it ever put him in office as the President of the United States. God help us all.

You know what? I’m glad. The only thing worse than listening to him (and watching him) would be seeing hum sully our beloved Stars & Stripes by wrapping himself in the American flag.

Obama is as American as grape leaves and hummus.

I believe you have hit the nail right on the head with your observation. The package says "New and Improved" but the message inside is now more dangerous to our health!

Like alphabet pasta. Pretty good if you can take the letters, lay them out beforehand and put them on the teleprompter. Random and nonsensical if you just spill them out unprepared.

Exactly. But hiding that empty suit is this very carefully crafted and controlled packaging. The colors, the fonts, the graphics, the signs, all of it. It’s a unified whole. I have no doubt that Barry’s had some marketing people on his staff for YEARS, working to come up with seemingly trivial stuff like slogans and graphics.

WND is exaggerating this story, though. The 757 had North American’s standard flag graphic on the tail beforehand, and it was replaced as part of the repainting of the entire aircraft as Obama One. This is a picture of the plane, N755NA, before the paintjob:

The thing is, his old plane had a really nice paint job. Obama continues to show his arrogance and his disgust towards America. I can’t believe there are even 10 people in this country who support Obama.

This is for the Freerepublic people who are old enough to remember the Jimmy Carter election. Did you guys see it coming then? I mean I know the country was disgusted by Nixon and wanted someone totally different, but did alot of people recognize him for what he was? And if not, how long before they realized what they had voted in?

And if he is elected will he cease flying in Air Force 1 and have it called “Obama 1” and have his new personal symbol painted on the tail?

The obamasiah knows better than the General in charge.

Every time he opens his mouth it’s more and more apparent that he is the dumbest person ever to even run for president, let alone be the nominee of a major party.

Oh, some of us could see it coming down the track. Unfortunately, there was only Walter, and the other talking heads, Time, Newsweek, AP, UPI, etc. available for info.

Carter had served as a governor and the state was still a viable entity when he left office, so how bad could he be?

Besides, it was a Southern state and they are just a bunch of rubes who elected Lester Maddox and he couldn't even ruin the state even when he rode backwards on a bicycle at the Peach Bowl.

Anger at Nixon? Boy, were people pissed at Ford for pardoning Nixon! Talk about your insider, beltway, career politician, mutual back-scratching, good-old-boy network exemplified.

Ford, hey he was on the Warren commission too. Tin foil-ites expanded on that conspiracy theory also and how Ford had been a Washington lackey for decades. Obviously controlled by Rockefeller's Trilateral commission.

And the WIN (Whip Inflation Now) button? What a joke! What a disaster!

And of course there was Ford the stumble-bum. Ford played U Michigan football without a helmet, obviously. Ford the golfer ridiculed for hitting spectators with an errant drive.

Even the Pink Panther movies got into the ridicule Ford action in their movie of the time.

Result: A Perfect Political Storm that first and foremost defeated Ford and by extension defeated Nixon. And secondly, elected a totally unqualified, gutless, boob who sank the country into a state of depression and malaise the likes of which we hope never to see again.

No, I’m not being sarcastic. Look at the “before” picture...the “flag” on N755NA’s tail was North American’s corporate graphic. For whatever reason, the Obamessiah decided to have that leased plane completely repainted in Brand Obama colors, with the Magic O on the tail.

This in and of itself doesn’t particularly mean anything except that Obama’s people like to control every last bit of his image (by completely repainting the plane). There’s a lot more reasons to realize that he’s dangerous and unpatriotic than simply painting over NAA’s flag graphic on the tail of a leased 757.

from early on, I’ve believed that Soros is responsible for the many ‘individual’, ‘small’, ‘internet’ contributions to Obamanations campaign. one socialist wants another socialist elected.
