Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane

Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane


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.


What will he do to Air Force 1 if he does get elected President?

Well maybe that flag on the tail belongs to North American?
There might be some infringement on North American if he kept it.

Well according to snopes he still has the flag by the N number of the aircraft. Of course he has his own symbol up there. As long as he's campaigning it's all about him, not the country. Then again that may not be any change than from before, just that he's selling it on a larger market.

Perhaps he's trying to tell us something?
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

I can see him pushing for a new motto on our currency. In Obama we trust.

The replacement of North American's commercial markings included the removal of two stylized U.S. flag images which are used in the airline's logo (a registered trademark of that company). The North American flag/logo on the forward portion of the fuselage was removed and the one on the tail was replaced with the Obama "O" campaign logo, while the traditional depiction of the U.S. flag adjacent to the plane's registration number was retained:

If North American is a flag carrier, they are required to display the national flag of the country of their registry, typically done on both sides near the registration number.

Anything other flag is a variable part of their paint scheme.

Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

You guys will cry about anything.. First lepal pins now paint jobs. It's quite ironic you guys aren't crying about McCain airplane, in fact it's almost obvious half of the posters in this thread didn't even look at it before going off on another Obama bash rant.
