As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.
The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.
Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.
Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:
"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"
(Story continues below)
Obama's 'O' symbol is red, white and blue.
Most official U.S. government aircraft, including Air Force One, have U.S. flags on their tails.
Both Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times posted pictures of the Obama campaign's redressed airplane, which does not have an American flag or any other U.S. national symbols on the section that sports the airplane door from which Obama and his team will enter and exit.
The airplane boasts Obama's anthem, "Change We Can Believe In" and the candidate's website address.

The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.
According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, the refurbished Obama aircraft features a "first class" section for the candidate and his closest advisors; several "business class" seats, and a large coach section, usually meant for the traveling press corps.
Sweet reported fruit and cheese platters greeted reporters on board the flight. Dinner options offered were beef medallions, baked tilapia or eggplant parmesan.
She wrote the Obama campaign provided overnight kits for the flight that include toothbrush, mouthwash, socks, Neutrogena body lotion and lip moisturizer, Scope mouthwash, ear plugs and a blindfold for sleeping.

Why doesn't someone post something McCain stand for, instead of all the anti-Obama propaganda?
Glad to! McCain sucks too, and has the same agenda as Obama. He's just hasn't come up with a design yet for his symbol. Seems the kindergarten crayons he's using won't let him detail his symbol like he wants.

You act as if your fingers are broken - post what you'd like.
Since we won't need the American Flag when he becomes president, because he will sell us out to the UN. He is suggesting his symbol to be the official symbol of the New World Order. It will fly the world over when he becomes President of the World. The UN will be the new congress.
I think you nailed it Sarge. Thanks.
Someone needs to make a small sacrifice for the greater good.
There's also a political forum. I suggest people post the political stuff there.
I'll bet you spend an awful lot of your time making such mental suggestions to yourself too.
I'm going 3rd party, and none of this obama bashing is going to change that
Kimi you beat me to post this crap, srew him and the camel he rode on. Pure BS[xx(][V][:(][:(!]
He looks to have a stable of camels here too, fshfndr! [:)][:D]
However, it is not unusual to repaint the plane that you are campaigning in to draw attention. McCain has done his as well as others throughout the past several election cycles.
However, I do believe that if the plane is leased from an American owned/based carrier (United, Southwest, etc) that the Stars and Stripes are somewhere on the aircraft near the registration number. I think he had the companys symbol taken off the tail since it was no longer operating under their control.
Kind of like buying a used UPS truck and you still run around with it painted brown with UPS on it...pretty sure that is a copyright infringement.
All that said...the man is going to hurt us if he gets elected. But then...so is McCain...we are so screwed this time.
