It’s not so much Obama who wants to retire the A-10s as the Air Force. They don’t want anything to do with aircraft that aren’t stealthy, sexy, and $150 million per copy. But they don’t want the Army to take them, either.

But the Commander-in-Chief is just a dumb as a rock spectator in the entire process?

In the past, really dumb elected presidents had enough brains to seek out savvy advisers who actually knew their stuff, to provide expert advice.
