Don't speak as if you're the head spokesman for all Independent's in just the way he handles himself against a fierce competitor because I betchya there's thousands of Independent's that WANTED to see that from the President.
I never said I was the spokes person for anyone or anything...I spoke from my take. Fierce competitor? Sounded like a middle school boy in a childish cut down. It was not relevant, it was stupid, it had nothing to do with facts or how he planned on fixing things. All I heard was dur dur we have ships that go under water. We don't ride horses any more.. We don't use bayonets...which in reality being an ex military wife I know is not true. It was a childish cut that had nothing to do with anything except him being a complete jerk.
It was a point to get across to people who were actually listening that Romney is simply throwing money at a problem, instead of talking to the military and asking what they need. It was Romney who made the comparison of today's military to that of 100yrs ago. THAT is what people should be doing a "What the fuck is that about?" Not the fact that Obama put in context and made Romney look like a fool - which he is for saying such a thing.
When you cut the military to the bone and we get attacked again...which is inevitable if we bury our heads in the sand and weaken our defenses...where will we be? History repeating itself. Do we ever learn.![]()

He's not "cutting the military to the bone". Obviously, you were only listening to Romney. Obama specifically said the budget is the same as it was last year...they are just not getting the $2,000,000,000 increase that Romney wants.
Why is it so hard to understand that Obama met with the military, talked to them about what they need budgeted, and is delivering that...and the discussions they had together did not indicate they need a $2,000,000,000 increase.
Conservatives should applaud that. But, instead they are not "real" conservatives - they are Republicans are are following the party line of BS hatred of Obama and anything he does. And, they (and Romney) are not very serious about the budget.
