Remember recent TV ads in which the Department of the Navy depicts our ship deployments in the form of red dots across the globe? All of the dots that really matter, the carriers, are presently sitting in harbor (or someplace equally innocuous) at their moorings This weekend represents the first time since days pre WW2 that the US failed to protect her own interests with at least one carrier group on patrol. The reason cited was budgetary shortfall.

So, while President Obama and family enjoy yet another 10 million dollar Hawaiian vacation, the Carrier USS George H W Bush is at dock collecting barnacles for lack of funds to operate at sea. The same report stated she would sail sometime shortly following the coming of the New Year.

Any of his defenders want to step up and tell us all about what a great President he is now? What a disgrace, 19 days and counting.
