The real issue is that Obama, his wife, and their close associates ALL have a disdain for the United States of America, and the average American who lives here.
Obama's latest example was his comment about how he's embarrassed about Americans not speaking a foreign language. Then there were his "clinging to their guns and religion" and "bitter" comments. Then there was his wife being proud of America for the first time in her life. Of course he's buddies with Rev. Wright, et al., who don't even hide the fact that they HATE America.
In fact, wasn't it Bill Ayers who proudly burnt an American flag?

It is very hard to be proud as an American at this point. Our country always seems to do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. I love America and will fight to the death for her

One of the most popular styles of star tattoo designs are nautical star tattoos. Nautical stars have a long history in the world of tattoo designs dating all the way back to the early sailors, specifically Sailor Jerry, and his many tattoo designs.
In those days, before modern navigation, sailors would navigate in part by the stars in the night skies, in particular the North Star in the Northern Hemisphere, and various other constellations of stars in the night sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, sailors had to use different stars and the Southern Cross became quite well-known. Sailors would then tattoo nautical stars on them because they relied on the stars to take them home, and being superstitious, they hoped their star tattoos would get them home safely as well.
Although these stars were once only popular with people who were in some way attached to the water, but as time went on, other groups, including gays and lesbians, punk rockers and those in the military, adopted the nautical star for their own purposes and as a very important symbol. The diversity of these groups has lead many to argue the meaning of their tattoos.
Many military people get a nautical star as a symbol for finding ones path home safely. Of course this can also include, more symbolically, finding ones way in life.
One can find many punk bands whose members sport full sleeve tattoos that typically incorporate nautical star tattoos either on their elbows or elsewhere. The punk movement traces its history and use of the nautical star back to Sailor Jerry
The lesbian and gay connection is one that might not seem obvious at first. In the 1940’s and 50’s when alternative lifestyles were not the norm, homosexuals would often have to hide their alternative lifestyles. They would often have a tattoo placed in a location where it could easily be hidden with a wristwatch or other items. As homosexuality became more widely accepted, the tattoos would be more prominently exhibited.
In modern day society this visual is almost considered common. It has been transformed into a pop culture statement. It has been said that the star itself is meant to represent "I", as in who "I" am as a person, whether in a statement of rebellion or individualism. Each point is said to repesent a different characteristic of one's own personality that creates a whole personality or way of life. Each of the five points typically represent the following characteristics:
-independence
-integrity
-intuition
-individuality
-innovation

The sheer audacity of this guy is disturbing enough, but when you couple it with the blind devotion of his supporters, it's positively frightening! It's almost cult-like..

Dang I am so disappointed. I was sitting at the airport watching that plane land the other day.and almost had an orgasm. I mean Hooter airlines is one thing but an Orgasm airline would be far better. Just broke my heart when I fount out that the O stood for Obama. Personally the flag on the plane is no big deal. If elected President and he removes it from anything that represents our government, then I have a problem.
