What do you expect from a muslim, small M. Born in Kenya, a wife who has never been proud of America and a socialist to boot.

Obama has the Muslim logo on his plane,signs and now they are mixed in with the American flags. Does this mean Islam over America?
He has spoken of his muslim faith before and mentioned that we had 57 states. I heard this and I thought he doesn`t know how many states we have and he wants to be our president. I found out later he was refering to Muslim states. Why doesn`t anyone question this vast amount of money pouring in from the middle East for his campaign. This is against the law for non citizens giving money to our campaign funds.
Noone has made personal attacks against Michell Obama like they have Sarah Palin and her whole family. and Cindy McCain. Why is Michelle getting prima donna treatment???
I have never seen such a down and out dirty campaign,Lies.Lies and more lies as they take all of our money and don`t even feel bad about it..They think it is their right.

The insignia on the tail of the Obama Airplane sure looks like a Muslim rising sun to me. If he is elected everyone will be required to read and abide by the Koran.
America BEWARE!!

There are many good and compelling reasons not to vote for Obama, but the repainting of the tailfin on the plane he has rented is not one of them. The insignia that was painted over was the logo for North American air. According to a photo I have seen, the American flag is prominently displayed along the fuselage. (McCain’s rented plane also has no American flag on the tailfin.)

Chauvinism is an excusable vice, but it distracts from important matters when it is unfurled in a critical election–as this one surely is.

Having either the American flag or the “big O” on his jet’s tailfin strikes me as vain… why are celebrities like this, anyhow?

But I am glad to see the American flag replaced with the “big O”. If he were zooming about with the American flag on his tail, one might get the false impression that he represents *all* of us.

And if Obama’s plane had the American flag on it for a foreign tour, you would attack him for his arrogance, as he is not the president.

Naturally … LOL

He might even replace the flag with the utterly ridiculous ‘coexist’ label that appears on bumper stickers in VT. A careful evaluation of the name shows the Islamic symbol first (as in ‘c’) and Christianity last (as in the cross).

I am disturbed by Obama’s lack of respect for America. Everything is always about him; what *he’ll* do, what *he* represents, how lucky we are that *he’s* arrived. He has expressed nothing but ignorant disdain for the USA right up until the moment it anointed him Lord God Emperor (I don’t remember exactly when that happened, but he seems to think it has).

Obama needs to show some respect for the institutions that made, and keep, this country great. Yeah, simple flag-waving isn’t patriotism, but ignoring the world’s greatest symbol of peace and prosperity isn’t patriotism, either.
