Whats your thoughts on the Obama Flag?
Ive heard both sides of the story... People say its just a flag, its just as legal as any other flag, dont fly it if you dont want to etc etc...
I'm more with the opposing side because how much it resembles the American flag and there's 50 stars for a reason... I know my Great Grandpa (WWII Vet) would p00 his pants if he seen this.

heres what I said on my other post....
I would never fly that flag, it is a disgrace to America, and what the flag stands for, It is also against the flag code as, there should be no pictures placed on the American flag, and it should not be dipped in the manner it is.
but I guess thats another subject as to why the flag code isnt really enforced now days, as it is imprinted on clothing, napkins, and all kinds of things, all that go against the code, where the flag should never be worn except on a military uniform, and never be printed on anything that will be discarded.
I wasnt even aware of the Flag code. ==thanks sorry grew up in public schools they leave alot out ;)
Proper flag etiquette, not many know about it.

applaudd
interesting
==no ==help What was he thinking !!!!
Obama should be ashamed of this. Whether or not he was a part of it being made.
I was going to address the flag code issue, but I'm glad to see it has already been brought up. I hope, now that we all know about it, that each person here will abide by the flag code. It should be enforced. This "flag" should never be flown. And I don't say this because of who is on the flag but for the simple reason that it goes against the code. a=f
not kewl, im for the stars & stripes.. a=f
i would burn that flag with his face on it ,obama dont deserve to have his face on anything!! stares and stripes for me

I know, so would my grampa's..........especially after they saw the picture of a black man on it!!!!
honestly in my opinion the problem is this...... people don't care about what's right proper responsible or reasonable, simply about what's fun or popular or what feels good, that being said, obama is still popular in a lot of areas (no idea why) people are just blindly followig the popular concensus and not thinking for them selves
and for teh record.. that "flag" makes me wana puke
only one way that flag should be flown ... upside down... its a disgrace....
Dont get me started on this... loll
a bad flag
For me, it aint WHO is on the flag, its the fact that the flag aint supposed to have ANYBODY on it. Its incredibly disrespectful particularly for those who served and are serving our country. Whoever came up with that thing has desecrated the #1 symbol of our freedom!! pullhairr ==rant ==dv
whatever floats your boat i guess. the flag is gay, but i say live and let live

seems to me it's a free speech issue...and alot of you on here complain the gov is always taking away your rights...you can't pick and choose your battle's, u either support free speech or you don't. personally i don't like it but i could give a p00 less what's on it as long as they are not breaking any laws...jmo
I didnt say he doesnt have a right to have it on there. He can put a donkeys ==kma on it if he wants. I'm just asking what your opinion is of our president taking the american flag off of his plane.

Its not HIS plane. Its Air Force One and it belongs to the United States of America. He is simply allowed to use this aircraft while he is President. He had no right to remove the flag and replace it with that piece of p00, and he wasted taxpayer's money to accomplish something that should never have been done. I'd like to know how much that cost, that money could have been spent in a much wiser way!! This is the problem with our govt, we have no way to stop these idiots from takin our money and wastin it on stupid p00 like this. This money could have been used to provide food and/or shelter for NEEDY AMERICAN CITIZENS, yet they wanna JUST BLOW IT ON THIS!!!
It could be Air Force One, I didnt even think about that. I just figured it was his plane, a present from us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_force_one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_force_one)
Any plane that the president flys on is air force one, It is just the call sign for the plane so they know where the president is at all times, also "air force one" is followed by a minimum of 2 fighter jets from take off to its destination. The most common plane that is called air force one is the one that belongs to the white house see above pics. Waste of money uhhhhh yea lol there is so many countless things our government wastes money on. heres a good one at the base I was stationed at in Norfolk, Va the government would pay civilian workers to cut the grass at $200 and acre!!!! WTF!!!! my dad owns a landscaping company and we can barely charge $50 an acre. I guess cuz there the government its ok to spend 4-5x as much on stupid stuff
Alright i am going to have to say it, Obama Our United States President Bowed down to a leader from another country...... NEED I SAY ANYMORE.... I say burn all the flags... Stars and Stripes for me...
Interesting ride...

Entering into service on January 20, 2009, Cadillac One is a common name for the Presidential State Car of United States President Barack Obama. Unlike previous presidential limousines, it is not at all based on a production vehicle. Although badged as a Cadillac, the armored limousine uses the four-wheel drive chassis and powertrain of a General Motors medium-duty truck (the Kodiak/TopKick).[7] As it is not a production vehicle, the car borrows parts from several different vehicles in the Cadillac lineup (primarily the Escalade and STS). For security, many other details about Cadillac One remain classified.
