Obama will be attacked on all sides of the floor for his weakening of American Foreign Policy and weakening of America's military.

If a carrier gets hit it also puts a massive hole in America's naval strategy and protection of strength.

America has 10 aircraft carriers now not all of them are active and I don't have their status, but I would assume that half of them are in yard right now or in workups for deployment. the rest are in the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, usually somewhere around the South China Sea.

If you take one out it leaves a a major hole in their Planning.
Are you the ghost of Japanese genius who thought Pearl Harbour was a good idea? Obama's popularity and support would skyrocket if the Russians were so daft as to hit an American carrier. It would galvanize the country from California to Texas to Florida, blue/red/purple states.
