Did you understand what he said,
past the zinger?
Romney's criticism was that we have fewer ships now than we used to.
Obama's response, while admittedly in the zinger form you hate so much, was that the number of ships is a poor metric, when the power and versatility of the ships we do have is beyond the imagination of ye olde Navy.
Not to mention the fact that there isn't an opposing navy now that we would have to overwhelm with numbers.
