All he said is that the size of the Navy, an extremely valuable asset when it comes to projecting US policy overseas, is being cut back more than he'd like. When it comes to Obama's comment; if someone disagrees about what route to take to drive to a restaurant, it's extremely condescending if they said "See this? This is the steeeeeering wheeeeel. And see this? This is the gaaaaaas pedal." It's condescending, and it doesn't address why they think their way is better. Is their route shorter? Is their route quicker? Who knows, because the only message they tried to convey is that they're right because they think everyone else is a simpleton. The only reason you'd talk to people like that is if you thought everyone else is a simpleton. It's childish, and I would have a hard time taking anyone I work with seriously if they spoke to a peer like that. Posted by: Lori | October 23, 2012, 10:59 am

Romney didn’t say anything that would suggest he doesn’t understand how the military works. All he said is that the size of the Navy, an extremely valuable asset when it comes to projecting US policy overseas, is being cut back more than he’d like.

When it comes to Obama’s comment; if someone disagrees about what route to take to drive to a restaurant, it’s extremely condescending if they said “See this? This is the steeeeeering wheeeeel. And see this? This is the gaaaaaas pedal.” It’s condescending, and it doesn’t address why they think their way is better. Is their route shorter? Is their route quicker? Who knows, because the only message they tried to convey is that they’re right because they think everyone else is a simpleton.

The only reason you’d talk to people like that is if you thought everyone else is a simpleton.

It’s childish, and I would have a hard time taking anyone I work with seriously if they spoke to a peer like that.

Florida it seems Dems are sending out letters to Republicans that they may be not illegible to vote. In Arkansas they are passing our cheap vodka to get people to vote, etc. This sounds awfully like Chicago politics. Where are you ABC? Looking for the story about the voter fraud now running wild.

Romney is running for the presidency. This would suggest he should understand how the military works. Larry, how does Obama’s responses to Romney generalize to the rest of us?

Everyone is to "busy" to have any clue about what is on a ballot. Which is why America is so far gone. & Romney, Mr. "eliminating tax deductions for the American People will solve all of this nations problems", his attitude that there is nothing wrong with America other than the American People getting tax deductions is an untapped gold mine, his absolute denial that recovery is in us, not him, this nation must go through hell before we the people realize what we've done. We need to return to the principals of our founding before any recovery will occur. Romney has made America pro abortion, pro gay marriage by his pandering to liberal ideology. Romney with his ushering in of a new republican pro nanny state agenda is not the answer. I get it that everybody is fed up with Obama. But there isn't any thing better from the right. & Mitt Romney is worse. Where will you & your family be when Romney eliminates tax deductions to pay for his military fantasies? Thanking God that we don't have debtors prisons. Mitt Romney is a disaster waiting to happen. & I honestly think that America might have to go through hell before it figures our that sleeping at the wheel aint workin'.

We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines." -Barack Obama This line is very revealing. If Obama can't help but express such condescension to Romney, what must he think of the average voter? He must think your average American is a complete moron who can't function without a government bureaucrat telling them what to do every second of their lives. “We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them.
