2. I don't want a USS Bush, or a USS Cheney...
How about that the Republican party admits that they ran the country into a brick wall at 100 MPH?

We'll call it the USS NEOCON. It leaves port but never comes back...

10. They already named a carrier after old man Bush
To this day, I still refer to Washington National Airport as Washington National Airport - I refuse to use Reagan!

3. Yes, but it must be the coolest carrier in the fleet
Like, give it a hot tub or something.

6. It just doesn't seem to fit.

Maybe a new star would be more appropriate.

I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Apparently it's an honor, but it just doesn't fit.

on edit: seem needs an m. Otherwise it would say see, and that wouldn't make any sense.

Seriously though I'd like Obama to have a carrier or two named after Democratic presidents. Ford, Bush and Reagan have recently had the honor and it's time for one of our own to get it. Can you say USS Bill Clinton?
