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 removethe symbol of his country?[/color]And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself...


This is really true....check it out on snopes and here is an additional link:

This bothers me on so many levels....does anyone else have concerns that our country is going to he** iun a handbasket?  There are so many crimes going on now, killings, stealing, absolutely no moral compass any longer....and then I feel like one of our president elects wants to take American out of everything he does......

Dont get me wrong....I am trying so hard to listen to what this fellow has to say....but all I hear is that they are embarrassed to be American.  Plus, I have been reading exerpts of his books and wow....talk about a wake up call......has anyone else looked into his books?

I don't see anything wrong with that. He's not the President currently & that is the symbol for his campaign which pays for the plane. It's pretty routine for such planes to be changed to reflect the candidate & his party. 

Here's a pic of McCain's plane, no flag on it either! The tail says JohnMcCain.com.

 hummm.... can not see the image.  Can you post it again?  I have tried to search it but am having no luck.  By the reports I have been reading, it just sounded like Obama was totally going off the trail.  I wouldlike to look into this further.  THX

 Actually, I was always under the impression that using the flag as decoration was considered disrespectful.  Anyone else ever heard this?

I've heard that too. Remember when was it Bono (i think) wore a jacket with the lining of the flag & sang at the game, there was controversy. Also when the flag bikinis came out, a lot of people took offense in it.

Like Becky was mentioning, if you look at info on flag etiquette, there are a LOT of what NOT to do with regard to the American flag.
