How bout the Commander in Chief on the USS
I guess I am not in favour of million dollar press releases. It is nice to welcome home the sailors but I guess I think he could have found a cheaper place or way to do it. At 55K per hour and the added security that is about what it cost.

How bout the Commander in Chief on the USS
Well I can see why we will run a huge deficit again and my kids will have to pay the bill.
My prospective is a little different than most, I guess I would have been upset being delayed on ship away from my family rather. I am not too impressed with politicians taking up my time to tell me something I already know. T. Kennedy's staged announcements for DOD at American Optical grounds were I worked did not make me add him to my Christmas list.
The Tomhawks cost 600K from what I read. Even at this it seems like a lot of money to deliver a 1000 lb conventional war head. Not exactly what they were designed for. Knowing the technology I was not impressed.
I did note that the USAF did not employ many cruise missles and had the B52 and B2 dropping conventional bombs with new guidance noises and tails. A lot more cost effective solution.
I guess we can chalk their use up to interservice rivalries. Despite new technology somethings never change.
I understand that we are

Cutter the manufacturing cost of a printed CD and Jewel case was about 50 cents 10 years ago. I am sure it is less now as the cost of production has decreased. It is probably closer to a quarter. It can not be much as they had them out as promotionals with out the Jewel case.
It is one of those things that leaves me baffled, kind of like Reganomics. The cost of production decreased substantially with the introduction of CD’s but they charged more than vinyl at the Music store. When collecting records I averaged about 5 dollars each.

It is good to have a president that understands, a little about the sacrificies made in the military.
I am also aware that he needed to fly out to meet the carrier if he wanted to welcome the whole ship's company. The flight wings leave the ship some miles out from shore as the carrier is most vulnerable to sub attack near port and the jets can not fly off while the carrier is in port.
Nice press play if we can afford it.

It is difficult to determine if the most dangerous threat is terrorists or the lawyers.
