Words fail…. the spittle rises.
And don’t miss Jake Tapper’s acerbic commentary as one of the media who are “denied access”….
Vietnam era Navy wife, indy/conservative, and an official California escapee now residing as a red speck in the sea of Oregon blue.
A pustule swells in obamaland – some sort of cancerous growth, no doubt.
wow, he really is bigger than life. i wonder….if he is actually elected, will he replace airforce one with this flying brothel?
I’m surprised he didn’t give the jet an Austin Powers makeover:
One of the comments on the Jake Tapper article was “what else will he change once he’s POTUS?”
His “seal” will become the Presidential Seal.
Imagine if you will (or can)… the Black House. Or maybe even the Rainbow house…but that White House schtick has gotta go!
Man, to tick off ABC News the campaign staff must really be out there.
The crescent over our flag really bugs me.
Just to be fair…does Senator McCain have his own logo on his private plane too?
This article linked in Drudge today is a dead on Python-esque satire of Obama’s trip. Prepare to laugh out loud, if not a bit uncomfortably…
~V~
We know it does. Now take your John Birch Society pin off and go take a nap.
Actually, I think an “O” is quite appropriate for some one with zero qualifications, zero experience, and zero when it comes to substance. The only thing the man has more of is plenty of media prostituting themselves while wondering why the polls have both candidates in a virtual tie.
Chrissy Matthews is currently whining that the democratic party is not united…..bwaaaa……..he says Bill Clinton’s not on board and Hillary is not on Obama’s side. Morning Joe thinks Obama should be ahead in the polls by 30%.
………developing
Is this the symbol for the new Islamic America. Seems he showing his true colors after all.
Could the American voter be this liberal? I really tend to doubt it. I think when more Americans find themselves in the voting booth they will realize how important it is to have a real leader, a real American President! Obama can go run for President of the People’s Republic of Europe…
My goodness but we think we are the most. When does he walk on water for our benefit? I suppose his excrement smells like roses. I guess we should be thankful it wasn’t a crescent.
Mata, you disappoint me with this.
McCain’s plane doesn’t have a flag anywhere on it as far I can see. I know this is a subjective opinion, but McCain’s splashing his name in huge letters all over the new straight talk express seems much more arrogant.
At any rate it’s quite a trivial thing to complain about. spittle rises? Really?
“I suppose his excrement smells like roses”. Ask Andrea Mitchell, she’s a collector of all things Hussein O. Don’t worry Andrea, what you got, or gave, when you joined the mile high club is all you get.
Fit Fit, not. By the way, a link to the picture of McCain’s plane you reference would be nice, and it’s probably his wife’s company/private plane. I know the dhimmi’s (men) got their panties in a knot about him using it in the past. That is allowed you know, she’s the only rich (earned) person in the world, according to the dhimmi’s. The super rich dhimmi’s don’t count, they stole or were given (was not earned) their riches.
McCain has what all men dream of. A rich, good looking woman who owns a beer company. No wonder the left wing losers are full of hate, or is that envy?
Add to #15. To quote Machelle Malkin, “BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Heh. Heh.
It’s going to be a great three months.
The ‘silent majority’ is non-plussed by Obama.
And that’s a very good thing.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but I’ve been busy. Is this a campaign trip or a congressional trip? I mean… is this being funded by the government or is he using his campaign cash to fly around? If he is using government cash, why does get to campaign on the government’s dime? And he is campaigning loudly, banners, painted jet, signs, etc.
I believe the first half was a congressional trip, with the European oddesy being campaign funded.
For scrapiron:
Why does the Straight Talk Express refuse to wear a flag pin? VIDEO
If you ask me, he has a rich woman who owns a beer company, but two out of three ain’t bad.
Fit Fit… yes, McCain has his slogan and name on the plane’s fuselage. But McCain still incorporates a flag on his campaign jet. But I will agree… this is somewhat nitpicky of me. And for that I apologize.
I think it’s the culmination of BHO BS overload, and a failure of too many to not see thru the pyrotechnics and flash to the man and his personal arrogance. What especially bothers me about this is, once again, Obama demonstrates how little pride he has in this country – indicated by his choice to remove all traces of US symbolism, other than what is required for aviation ID.
Before BHO left for this trip, I merely despised his socialist and affirmative action policies. He has demonstrated arrogance in primary debates, etal. But when I watched him on this trip, saw how distant he seemed from our troops, watched this be an “all about me” visit as a Senator or global “citizen”, I am very disturbed by this man’s quest for personal power.
I am even more disturbed at the media, and a public who can not seem to put together the effect this man will have on the American citizen’s paycheck, and our economic growth. His intent at every turn seems to dilute national pride, and replace it with a “global” pride. Many thought Bush Jr. was an internationalist. I say to them, BHO is the quintessential internationalist.
But back to the planes.
On the Back-spin blog’s post about this he posted an air shot of what was supposed to be McCain’s plane. However at the bottom he is assuming it is a photoshop’ed fake as a corporate pilot wrote in to his blog:
The pilot’s comments that at least one flag appears on the fuselage are confirmed by the maiden voyage of the Straight Talk Express campaign yet, and the photos from an LA Times June 30th If there is a second flag near the front of the fuselage, it is hidden behind the stairs in this photo. (Note correction: the link said it was an LA Times story, but this link leads to the Fox story instead…)
Ah, I see..
The wings were always in the way on the shots I saw, my mistake. I was looking on the tail section…
You’d think McCain would display the flag more prominently.
Kind of lost back there near the tail.
Why on earth he doesn’t switch his name with the flag I’ll never know.
Here is another shot of “Air Force O”… (or would that be zero… LOL) from No Quarter’s post on the same subject. Apparently, even the HRC ardent supporters are offended that:
Notice that, behind the cockpit, where it would have been possible to display even a small token symbol of Old Glory, again the Obama logo is chosen.
I don’t often agree with SusanUNpc. But in this case, she echoes my thoughts
Half the posters at NoQuarter are fake HRC supporters.
This is a problem if you value symbolism over reality. What does it actually mean? After all, Klansmen carry the flag when they march. Does that make them Presidential material? They also feature the cross prominently when they do their thing. Does that mean that Klan behavior is Christian behavior? Of course not.
Yeah, I know, Fit. Actually it’s the main battleground (or perhaps only 2nd to Daily KOs) for the HRC vs BHO supporters to engage in their war of words and ideals.
The quote from above is from Larry’s right hand gal and site authoress, SusanUNpc… not a site commenter. She is, bar none, an avid HRC supporter, and wants nothing to do with BHO.
I visit No Quarters when I want to get a pulse on how the HRC die hards are doing.
Are they smearing his western wall prayer yet?
Fit Fit – how can it be smearing when it’s true?
Attacking the content, he only asked God to protect him and his family, not America… his struggles with pride and sin.
I think it’s despicable that someone took his note, and others published the contents.
Taking his prayer from the wall is despicable.
I find it to also be despicable that Obama had campaign posters up around the Western Wall. No need to smear his prayer when there is actually an act worth talking about that demonstrates disrespect, and an effort to politicize things.
It is embarrassing that a candidate does not see fit to display the U.S. flag on his plane or lapel. It is incredibly arrogant to say the least.
I’ll stick with this one myself.
Here’s Malagent’s version of the NoBama logo, as he linked. Hope you don’t mind my putting it up for instant display, Malagent…
Makes you wonder where are those graffiti criminals when you need ’em, eh? LOL
I don’t mind at all, everyone is free to use that and I hope to have some more soon. I tried to embed the image in the comment but I guess I can’t do that.
You have the best luck when you use the comments short cuts, Malagent. Click on the arrow above the default comment box and options open in a small menu bar.
Click on the “ext link” selection, and paste your jpg/URL link in the pop up’s field. Then, in the comment box, change the “a href” to”img src” in the HTML code. Works most of the time. I occasionally get snafus, but generally can get it in with some re’attemps.
Guy takes the flag off his plane, then blows off the largest American community outside the US at Ramstein so that he can give a speech to Germans in front of a memorial that Hitler built….
….and MSNBC calls the trip a success.
I’m gonna disagree.
Seems to me that he showed arrogance in refusing to acknowledge the success of The Surge, and that he showed weakness when he came out and openly admitted that his policy towards Pakistan, towards Iran, and towards unilateralism were all the same as the Bush Admin’s.
Toss in the flag erasing bit, the Ramstein blow off, and the po’d press members…I’d say it was a the worst experience of his campaign for the White House. I thought I was gonna cry laughing so hard when I saw the comparison between his “now is our time” speech and the Mikey speech from Goonies on YouTube. OMG! That was SO FUNNY!
BTW, don’t know if anyone noticed, but McCain’s “Straight talk express” logo incorporates the service star above the text. Something BHO, of course, has no qualifications in displaying.
It’s public domain… the press can report anything that a public official does. In fact, the public has the right to know, and the press is under a duty to report, just as they record and report on any private moment or material. I don’t see how this is any different.

Not quite Scott.
From der Spiegel:
Still, even as the issue of his speech’s location has now been settled, a number of politicians in Berlin are still dissatisfied with the site. The Siegessäule — or Victory Column — was erected in memory of Prussia’s victories over Denmark (1864), Austria (1866) and France (1870/71). The column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building, but was moved by Adolf Hitler to its current location in 1939 to make way for his planned transformation of Berlin into the Nazi capital “Germania.”
From the Washington Post:
Since German reunification, the column has become known as the central location for Berlin residents to party.
Fit Fit and Word. I agree that publishing the content of Obama’s prayer note inserted into the Western Wall is an unwarranted, and unneeded intrusion.
That said, based on his prayer, I guess we can expect not to hear from BHO’s lips, “God bless America”, as Bush often says. In fact, had Bush been reported saying “and make me an instrument of your will”, the libs/progressives and atheists would be all over him like flies with their likening to the Messiah… a title that BHO now bears.
Thanks Arthur. I was actually there-before reunification. Good information. Of course, on the tour we were told Adolf put it there. This makes things much mo cleeererr.
😉
Ahhh how Berlin has changed since 1985!
I just could not help myself…
Straight from Malagent’s NObama ’08 Campaign:

MALAGENT’S LINK MAY BE INFECTED !!!!
…according to my AVAST AV-software.
@Malagent
Do you have any idea what triggered my AV software to respond by blocking your frist link, above? I understand that sometimes one can get a false positive, but I don’t want to take any chances.
Actually I do, and it’s not actually a virus.
Some time ago I managed to anger some liberals. Although I’m aware of the fact that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, within a day I had all 30 of my sites plagued with some malicious code. To be more specific, there was an inline frame that attempted to open adult oriented advertisements if the web surfer was using Internet Explorer. My servers blocked the IP address of the offending site and a major backlash ensued between Google’s listing and my sites.
All of that is resolved now. Considering that between all of my sites I have millions of lines of code and the offending code has to be removed manually I probably missed one.
see:
Could you perhaps send me a screen shot of what Avast showed you? I’ve had trouble with another user that has avast as well.
“Could you perhaps send me a screen shot of what Avast showed you? I’ve had trouble with another user that has avast as well.”
I emailed it to Flopping Aces, so perhaps one of them can post it here, or send it to you? I had a photobucket account, but had some problems with it that made me worry about security so I cancelled.
SUGGESTION – perhaps you could download the free AVAST sofware, and use it to locate whatever is triggering it?

“Of course, on the tour we were told Adolf put it there.” — Scott Malensek
As Stoner pointed out….
CHANGE THEY BELIEVED IN!
How Obama of them – so ahead of their time.
Oh, and don’t worry about your error, Scott. It’s relatively minor, and now that you know the facts you will correct it. Stoner’s history revisionism, however, is far less benign. If I may remind you of his preposterous assertions about Reps, Dems and Civil Rights? In fact, the only reason he’s correcting you is not his love of truth, but to stroke his true love, his own ego.
Now I’m hearing that Obama’s people might have leaked a copy of the note to the press, first. Sounds like he expected his note would be read by others, so prepared his private note with deliberation on the contents, in the event of its publication.
