Mr. Romney says "we need to rebuild the Navy." What's wrong with it that it need to be rebuilt?

And who's going to pay for it, Mitt? Your 1% friends?

The Mittster is never scarier than when he tries to think of things to promise. The poor boy wants this presidency so bad he can taste it. Being elected on his own merits is something ha never has been able to do. He has consistently lost excepts when his buddies screwed up the olympics so he could have a hero moment. He has even started to believe he was responsible for fixing them now.

And how many of Mitt's sons will serve in this military? This is dangerous territory for Mitt since his five strapping sons will undoubtedly find better things to do with their time than serve their country.

Mitt Romney. Doesn't care about deficits. Doesn't care about people. Does care about getting elected.

really kate? Have you read his book?

kate: Can u see O doing anything like this? http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/05/mitt-romney-community-organizer.php or this http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/05/mitt-romney-life-after-high-school.php

A right wing blog is your evidence? Maybe you need to read Obama's book. Mitt wrote his "book" so he could run for president, again...

Mitt, I don't know who is advising you on the military (since neither you nor your sons have served) or who you may have in mind to nominate for Secretary of Defense if elected, but let me give you a hint: WE HAVE THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MILITARY!

You mean Obama's book ghost written by Ayers? Go read the Dailykos

love when you give liberals FACTS and they still think they are right

I wonderif Obama will devout a chapter in his next book to his investing prowess: Raser Technologies. In 2010, the Obama administration gave Raser a $33 million taxpayer-funded grant to build a power plant in Beaver Creek, Utah. According to the Wall Street Journal, after burning through our tax dollars, the company filed for bankruptcy protection this year. The plant has fewer than 10 employees, and Raser owes $1.5 million in back taxes. • ECOtality. The Obama administration gave ECOtality $126.2 million in taxpayer money in 2009 for, among other things, the installation of 14,000 electric car chargers in five states. Obama even hosted the company's president, Don Karner, in the first lady's box during the 2010 State of the Union address as an example of a stimulus success story. According to ECOtality's own SEC filings, the company has since incurred more than $45 million in losses and has told the federal government: "We may not achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future." Worse, according to CBS News, the company is "under investigation for insider trading," and Karner has been subpoenaed "for any and all documentation surrounding the public announcement of the first Department of Energy grant to the company." • Nevada Geothermal Power (NGP). The Obama administration gave NGP a $98.5 million taxpayer loan guarantee in 2010. The New York Times reported in October that the company is in "financial turmoil" and that "after a series of technical missteps that are draining Nevada Geothermal's cash reserves, its own auditor concluded in a filing released last week that there was 'significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.'" • First Solar. The Obama administration provided First Solar with more than $3 billion in loan guarantees for power plants in Arizona and California. According to a Bloomberg Businessweek report last week, the company "fell to a record low in Nasdaq Stock Market trading May 4 after reporting $401 million in restructuring costs tied to firing 30% of its workforce." Abound Solar. The Obama administration gave Abound Solar a $400 million loan guarantee to build photovoltaic panel factories. According to Forbes, in February the company halted production and laid off 180 employees. • Beacon Power. The Obama administration gave Beacon — a green-energy storage company — a $43 million loan guarantee. According to CBS News, at the time of the loan, "Standard and Poor's had confidentially given the project a dismal outlook of 'CCC-plus.'" Last fall, Beacon received a delisting notice from Nasdaq and filed for bankruptcy. This is just the tip of the iceberg. A company called SunPower got a $1.2 billion loan guarantee from the Obama administration, and as of January, the company owed more than it was worth. Brightsource got a $1.6 billion loan guarantee and posted a string of net losses totaling $177 million. And

Hopefully, Romney's sons will join the military to help protect this country.

For Pete's sake, Mit, we are already in that position. How many military installations do we have all over the word, how many warships, how many nuclear weapons? You are too militaristic. But you appeal to some people for saying this but I hope not to the majority of voters. What the world needs is the gradual and mutual reduction of weapons among the nations. Our aim should not be that of a world empire with military dominance but as a cooperative member of a brotherhood of independent nations. Your appeal is typically Republican. I am sure with this militaristic philosophy you will get Genghis Kahn's vote and all his fellow brick brains.
