Even if the politician was a war hero? And even though GHWB, as president, was commander-in-chief of the military? And do you feel that way about the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan?

Will there ever be a USS Barack Hussein Obama? After all, isn't he a war hero for killing OBL? ... Well, didn't he at least give the order? ... Ok, wasn't he at least in the room when the order was given?? ... Okay, Okay, at least he didn't prevent the operation - doesn't that make him a war hero???

Man, I hope not!

But if you read my post a little more carefully, you'll see that I never said there should be one for all presidents. I only was making the point that disqualifying all politicians from having a ship named after them might be a little extreme. There are some politicians, even some who have never served in the military, who might be worthy recipients of the honor.
