Aaron Klein reports today at WorldNet Daily that presumptive Democrat Party presidential nominee Barack Obama has taken the lapel flag pin issue to a whole new level. Under the headline, American flag disappears from Obama campaign jet, his article begins this way:

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.

BMCWrites, good stuff. A very provocative move--and one that in this iconic world, laden with quick-look symbols, sends a clear message: Obama doesn't need or want to be identified with the U.S. as he's above and not part of America. Man, that's a pretty arrogant thing to do.

Is he rubbing it in our faces? or is it a reaction to criticism of his take on Presidential seal?

BMCWrites, I like this story. It's good stuff. Guess Obama just doesn't like the american flag. Doesn't like to wear a flag pin (at least not an American flag), doesn't like to salute it, now doesn't want it on his d@m plane.

Moonwolf -- I deal in facts. Fact is BHO is a socialist determined to take this country down the wrong road.

Big deal. I have never read so many "articles" that were so "much ado about nothing" as I have with people trying to come up with ways to critisize Sen. Obama. Grow up. Try reading actual issues that you might disagree with, with an open mind. Listen to what the candidates are saying and decide if you agree with their ideas. We've had enough knee jerk reactions in the last 7 years to last a lifetime.

Cecilia, You grow up. The man hasn't stated any ideas, only "change". Obama won't or is afraid to say what that change is, so I look at his voting record and I don't see anything that he will change that America needs. America shouldn't vote for any black man to make history, but the right and a good black man; Obama is NOT him. Voting for a black person just because he's black is just as racist as voting against him because he is black!

I forgot to mention this. If he doesn't like this country, he should just stay in Iran. He seems to think he can make a "change" there also!

Does anyone want him to drape his "o" over the caskets of our brave AMERICANS fighting for that flag and this country and all of us? I think not. He has disgraced this country and yet alot of you say "oh thats all he did?" WAKE UP AMERICA
