Now, it just seems to me that Senator Obama has a problem with the American flag.  The evidence just keeps piling up, but you be the judge.

    Oh, how petty. I guess the assumption is that Obama isn’t patriotic because he doesn’t have a flag on his plane, huh?

    His plane had been a standard North American Airline jet, and their corporate logo was a stylized flag on the tail of the plane. When the plane was re-tooled for the campaign. North American Airlines took off all their corporate markings, including the flag. There IS a smaller flag on the fuselage, next to the registration number, although it isn’t shown in these photos.

    It’s also interesting that you focus on the small flag on McCain’s plane, without showing the tail of his jet. It’s terribly patriotic: in great big letters, it says “johnmccain.com”

    It’s all documented at snopes.com:

    Do you ever check out stuff before you throw it up on your blog, or does any anti-Obama rumor qualify in your book, regardless of whether or not it’s true?

    From an article entitled O-Force One by CBS News’ Allison O’Keefe:

    “Barack Obama’s new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is.

    Obama’s section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal.

    His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top — “Obama ‘08” on one line and “President” underneath. To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate’s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.”

    My favorite part is his La-Z-Boy style chair embroidered with “Obama ’08 – President” Scroll down a little ways in the link below to see a picture.

    Kudos to you Bella for showing the entire Obama plane to make the point “THERE IS NO FLAG”.

    Another point, the Boeing 757 is a BIG Aircraft. Wonder why the campaign didn’t opt for a more fuel efficient Boeing 737?

    BTW John McCain’s Plane is a 737-400. Mac walks the talk!

    McCain never would have made admiral, so he decided to resign and run for Congress. When the Navy got wind of his pending resignation, they offered him the rank of rear admiral, as a meritorious service recognition; he turned it down and resigned.

    The American people will do well by turning down the latest attempt to give John McCain a meritorious service award: the U.S. Presidency. Twenty or thirty years ago, he might have been a decent President; in 2008 he’s an almost empty shelll of the man he used to be…. and since he didn’t have that many smarts to begin with, he’s not intellectually capable of serving as President.

    Some civil rights attorneys litigate, some don’t. And I guess you just can’t comprehend that adjunct teaching staff/lecturers aren’t really “entry level” personnel if they never have the intention of becoming fulltime professorial staff. Obama wasn’t pursuing a tenure-track position, so it wasn’t “entry” level to anything.

    Obama has attributes other than reading off a teleprompter. At least he CAN read off a teleprompter; McCain could take some lessons.

    Obama wants to use the power of the U.S. to do something OTHER than going into foreign countries and blowing them up. We have the power to create alliances, use diplomatic tools, and generate some good will across the globe, instead of the “shoot first, ask questions later” mentality of Bush and McBush.

    That’s just one attribute Obama brings to the table.

    “Experience” is great and recommended. But, if your choices are between an inexperienced guy with sound judgment, and an experienced guy with lousy judgment, I’ll take the former any day of the week. McCain criticizes “Washington” for not addressing our energy needs for the last 30 years — and he’s been a member of Congress (a member who’s done nothing on that count) for 26 of those 30 years. So what does McCain’s experience gain us there?

    McCain doesn’t know Sunni from Shia, doesn’t know that Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed for a decade, has concerns about the Iraq-Pakistan border when Iraq doesn’t border Pakistan, etc etc

  60. Obama certainly has a very thin resume. Considering Obama’s professional career, what has he accomplished? As a member of the Harvard Review he did not publish. As a lecturer at the University of Chicago he did not publish. As a “Civil Rights Attorney” he did not publish or litigate. Just what distinguishes Obama professionally?

    Educationally Obama is ill prepared for the Presidency. The man has no management experience. Really has very little administrative governing experience.

    Of course this is the USA and people are free to base their vote on whatever criteria they choose. So your go ahead and vote for the best GPA Chicago Politics can buy and feel proud of yourself.

    And, since you’re obviously well-pleased by good ole boy dummy Republicans, you can feel proud to vote for Bush III.

    894 out of 899. 894 out of 899!

    The Military Academies are the first phase in person’s service. McCain has proven himself as an exemplary alumni of the USNA.

    I will vote for duty, honor, service, experience and accomplishment over academic GPA every time.

    It really is Obama vs Obama and the “ONE” is losing badly.

    894 out of 899. Calling him an exemplary alumnus is an insult to any other Naval Academy grad not in the bottom 1% of their class.

    Keep swiggin’ that Kool-Aid. There’s not been a poll anywhere that shows McCain ahead, even for a day. Check out this site; it’s pretty interesting stuff and not just because it shows Obama with a solid lead:

  64. Graduation for the USNA is the beginning of the journey. According to the mission statement of the U.S. Naval Academy John McCain is an unqualified success.

    To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to provide graduates who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.

    In life its not where you start, it’s where you finish that counts!

    Biden graduated 76th out of 85 students at Syracuse Law School. So much for the GPA criteria…
