Obama Replaces American Flag With Obama Logo

No Wonder His Patriotism Gets Questioned

By: Dan Spencer (Diary)  |  July 23rd, 2008 at 02:15 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

When John McCormick reported Obama replaced his Boeing 737 campaign plane with a Boeing 757, he noted the new aircraft had “a giant flag painted on its tail.”

In yet another display of his patriotism, Obama replaced the American flag with the Obama Logo. Lynn Sweet reports that Obama’s 757 has been repainted “with the Obama sunrise logo on the tail.”

Oh the audacity of Obama’s ego.

    and awful. Red_Wing had posted on this before. Interesting question- do you think that this is a response to criticism of him acting like the POTUS, so that he can be able to say, “I wasn’t representing the US, just my campaign”? I don’t myself, as evidenced by that stupid mock-Presidential seal, but it’s possible, I suppose.

    If you really want to get your own saber rattling, check out some famous flag pics here.

    So his old plane in the picture was a 737 with North American airlines (the people who own the plane) written on the side and their standard American flag on the tail?

    But the new plane for the campaign sports a customized paint job that reads “Change We Can Believe In” on the side along with www.barackobama.com underneath and his campaign logo on the tail?

    Seems like replacing the company logo (it was a nice looking flag though) and putting your own is a pretty standard thing. Had he put the flag there in the first place and then removed all the flags on the plane this might be interesting but as it stands it looks, to me at least, barely worth of a diary and certainly not the front page.

    …I bet Michelle is proud of that airplane.

    The pictures show two different sides of the wing. Is it possible the flag is on one side, and the logo on the other?

  • violence_worker

    First of all, that flag is part of North American’s livery and most likely copyrighted.

    In the end, it’s not what’s on the fuselage or tail, it’s who’s in the airplane.

    Which of thee two would you want to be with on their respective airplane in an emergency?

    Yeah, I’d rather be with McCain. McCain would be doing something and Obama would be asking if anyone had some water.

    unpronounceable symbol that stands for the name of the politician that was formally know as Hussein.

    It’s not just the plane. It’s his going over seas and acting and speaking as if he were already President. His arrogance knows no bounds.

    I agree with Yil. It is interesting to note but sorta not what I would deem front page material. I see where you are going with this: making Obama an American hating Muslim flag burning (or in this case replacing) terrorist lover.

    But I really think this is an attempt for you to dig for reasons to hate the guy. =P

      …the first time in her life. :)

        From the Boston.com article:

        “Obama finds criticism of his wife “infuriating” and doesn’t want either of them to be the target of satire.”

        I guess the other one keeps her head down and stays home with the kids.

          that looks like what’s for breakfast:

          Sunny side up and a slice of bacon in the pan.

          It belongs in the frozen food aisle, not on the rudder of a jet.

          • CSUFBomb

            …I guess it’s probably closer to BO’s intent than what I see . . . “Nuclear Cloud Rising Over Three Skid Marks”.

          • blooch

            Maybe what you see as skid marks, and I see as bacon, exileoc sees as a burning Muslim flag(whatever that is).
