Condescending Obama: Horses, Bayonets and Playing a Game of Battleship

President Obama lectured Gov. Mitt Romney on his strategy for re-building the US Navy by condescendingly telling his it wasn't a game of Battleship.

"I think Governor Romney hasn't spent time looking at how our military works. You mentioned the Navy. we have fewer ships than we had in 1916, Well governor, we have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of the military changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where panes land on them. We have ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. The question is not a game of 'Battleship' where we're counting ships, it's what are our capabilities?" 22 Oct 2012 post a comment
