Okay, I see it. Sounds like the Libya question from the previous debate. Obama was focusing on what Romney said instead of what the real issue was. Which doesn't help. But maybe Romney should be setting things up better. Looking back on the transcript, he did mention that the Navy needs 313 ships to carry out their CURRENT mission but only has 285. That's a good point. Then he fucked it all up. That got lost because of his 1916 crap.
ding ding! Romney is right on the actual point, Obama thinks he "won", and maybe he did with his base. My take is that it was another snarky moment that cuts into Obama's "likeability" and ultimately, his favorable ratings, and those things matter more with folks in the middle.
