Guess he's really offended by our flag.

Naw my guess is he just thinks he is BIGGER than the flag, bigger than the United States, heck he might even be bigger than Jesus Christ himself. Oh wait that's right Jesus was not seeking an earthly throne so I guess Obama is bigger than Jesus himself.

Everyone with a conceited heart is disgusting to the Lord. Certainly, {such a person} will not go unpunished.
Proverbs 16:5 (GW)


Pride precedes a disaster, and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall.
Proverbs 16:18 (GW)


Before destruction a person's heart is arrogant, but humility comes before honor.
Proverbs 18:12 (GW)

Eating too much honey is not good, and searching for honor is not honorable.

Praise should come from another person and not from your own mouth, from a stranger and not from your own lips.
Proverbs 27:2 (GW)

Nice try but I am still not voting for him. His lack of leadership skills, his inability to stick to a position, questionable choice of close associations, and his less than stellar performance as a State Senator leave me wanting to see more.

Perhaps in a few years I may reconsider. At bat 504 times and only got 15 hits would be less than stellar on the baseball diamond and at lot less impressive in his ability to lead and persuade. If he took 504 free throws on the basketball court and only converted 15 of them he would not be signed to any NBA team.

I do not know many major corporations who would consider him for a leadership position no wonder he chose politics. That is probably the o...

I do not know many major corporations who would consider him for a leadership position no wonder he chose politics. That is probably the only line of work he is qualified for. Enriching himself off the backs of hard working people. NAW I think I'll pass.

I have to give you kudos though for linking to that YOUTUBE video, And to think that was the BEST Obama's people could come up with. Pretty sad really.

I know lots of people who graduated at the university level who are far more capable of running the county then OBAMA. I am really ashamed of our elected leaders for offering up such a poor choice of leadership this election cycle. There are far better people serving in lessor capacities whom I would much rather see elected than either candidate on the slate. Perhaps it is time WE THE PEOPLE PICK our choice what say you?

Actually, the emblem that was originally on the tail wasn't a flag, it was a stars-and-stripes logo which is trademarked by North American Airlines, the carrier from which the Obama campaign leases the plane. When Obama's status went from primary candidate to presumptive nominee, the plane was repainted to identify it as part of the campaign. Furthermore, using the plane with the carrier's colors not only implies a form of endorsement, but may also be actionable on the basis of trademark infringement.

Other points: Obama's plane does have a flag on it, displayed next to the registration number.

McCain's plain does not have an ostentatious flag displayed on its fuselage either.

Technically, the use of the flag as a trademarked advertising logo (or as part of one) is illegal. Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1, Section 4(i) states:

The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

This section also makes stamps with flag images illegal, since they are made for "temporary use and discard".

Unfortunately, Title 4 (also known as the Flag Code) does not specify criminal penalties for violations of its provisions.

Rather than trying to amend the Constitution, why doesn't congress simply attach a schedule of penalties to the Flag Code? If that happened, a lot of people would be in trouble for violating Section 4(j):

No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a livin...

The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

As Bobby Rutan pointed out, the prez would be in violation of section 4(g):

The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

republicans feign concern over the treatment of the flag and then use
it any way they see fit and then wipe their butts with the constitution.

Republicans and democrats are equally to blame for trashing the constitution. To better state it lately those in elected office have trodden under foot the very constitution that made this country great and for which our founding father's fought for and died. The constitution set us apart from other nations and now we find ourselves becoming more and more like the nations we strove so hard to remain independent of.

Because no law gets enacted apart from congressional action neither party can claim innocence in the downward turn of our country. Perhaps it is time to wage another revolution and discharge our civic duties to overthrow a tyrannical government and install one 'of the people, by the people and for the people' once again. What say you?

I would agree to a revolution of the way our political offices are awarded. I too would like additional options to the Democrats and Republicans.

I like parliamentary systems were governmental seats in a congressional body or awarded proportional to the percentage of votes obtained in a general election. In that way Libertarians and Green Party members would be guaranteed a voice in government. This winner takes all system is bogus if you ask me. It requires so much money and organizational structure that we have ensured that only Democrats and Republicans will be the only viable parties for years.

I believe a parliamentary system would better represent the people. But you would have to amend the constitution and both the entrenched Democrats and Republicans would fight it. They wouldn't want to give up or share power (or be held accountable). What are your thoughts?
