My guess is this line came from his debate prep helper, well-known war expert John Kerry. ( who served in Viet Nam, did you know?)
LOL. I know Kerry went to Cambodia for Christmas, but wasn’t sure he was in VN. (Sarc).
Obama was right about horses, we have fewer than in 1916. Or maybe 1898. The picture above from Afghan however is classic and a good retort.
It was his sarcasm and condescension that made the answer so bad. Romney won the battle of tone and posture all through the debate, but I wish he could have responded about the ship issue with specific numbers and compared to what he thinks the navy needs.
