I'm Looking Forward To President Obama Putting The Lid On That Chumpstick's Campaign Monday Night

When Governor Blinders implies that President Obama is weak on defense I hope he says the last person who challenged his authority got a burial at sea.

it could come in the debate about cutting back on ground forces. i used to read several naval magazines where i worked in the mid 2000`s. the direction was set during those years that the carriers and support groups were going to be built up over the upcoming years to challenge china`s growing naval power. the thought during those years was the chinese could build an effective naval power but their main problem was command and control. the pentagon figured that it would take 15-20yr to develop the personal and leadership to counter command struture of the us navy.

I fully believe Obama will have his answer fleshed out and air tight. He should again go on the offense there. There is certainly enough Romney-being-an-ass material during the Libya crisis to run circles around him.
