I mean Barack H. Obama is doing some pretty wacky things on this tour.
Sitting in Head of state chairs, negotiating foreign policy, utilizing terrorist organizations for security, issuing dress code to the paparazzi, I mean media, hehe, speaking from historic monuments in Germany, all as if he were the actual POTUS?
But this must be the best (Worst) thing yet!
Of course I hedge that bet as we are only into day two, so we do have some more fun in store I'm sure. That being said, it seems our Jr Senator has decided to remove the US flag and insignia from the US aircraft he is using and opted instead for the logo for his 08 campaign?
Maybe this wouldn't be such a big deal if it were not for the fact that he is on a US taxpayer excursion!
Now thats what I call AUDACITY!
I love the flag of the US

It's the subject of our anthem, the rally 'round symbol, and the image of Washington's crossing, 1812, the Union battallions, Iwo Jima, the moon landings...
I am an Illinois resident, and the decision to eliminate the flag from his plane just because he is visiting Arab countries does not represent my views.
Btw, the flag is also the background of Commodore Perry.

You can't very well expect the candidate of Hope and Change to not change the U.S. flag, you know. He's the one we've been waiting for... The One. You can't expect him to use the same old, same old as everybody else. I mean, that would imply pride in something that he wants to change with hope.
End sarcasm.

Why are we paying for him to fly his campaign jet around the world? This is wrong!

The Chicago Sun-Times has a blog on their web site.
46 of 48 comments were applauding the removal of the US Flag from the airplane.
Obama supporters folks. They worship and salute their messiah, Obama. They gladly welcome removing the US flag for a messiah Obama logo.

Sounds right.
