The commanders have stated that we need more ships than Obama plans to have. Rather than discuss the issue, Obama opted to make a sarcastic quip using the Alinsky tactic of ridiculing Romney.
Problem is, he was also ridiculing the commander’s concern to have more ships and shows his ignorance of the fact that all of the ground troops have bayonets and are trained to use them.
there is nothing to be gained, politically speaking, engaging in petty gotcha commentary this late in the race. That was obviously a planned comment by Barry, along with the Costanza rip, but it was far from substantive and did Barry no favors.
Romney needs to go back to his current approach and allow the voters to decide if they want a President or a Celebrity-In-Chief.
