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 and another on the fuselage. To view photos, go to http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/airplane.asp . He replaced the stylized flag on the plane's tail with his campaign's symbol, a giant "O" with a rising sun over red and white fields. The flag that was above the passenger windows on the fuselage has been replaced by the word "Change."
What change in flags does Obama want? The U.N. flag? The Black National flag?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports: “A newly refurbished chartered jet flew aides and reporters from Chicago to meet the candidate in the Middle East. The gleaming white 757 is emblazoned with the campaign motto ‘‘Change We Can Believe In,’’ and equipped with an aft cabin that will permit Obama and a few top aides to recline in comfort. The candidate may sit where he pleases, of course, but one chair seems designed with him in mind. It’s the one with ‘‘Obama ’08/ President’’ on the headrest.”
