Schmoozing

That old saying, "if you snooze, you loose" has now been updated for President Obama. It is now, "if you schmooze, you loose." And apparently, while The Barry has been refining his golf game and hosting Hollywood galas at the White House, the Chinese military has been plotting the demise of the United States Navy.

The old saw that generals always fight wars with the last war's weapons does not now seem to apply to China ... the Dragon of the East has just taken the wraps off of its new "killer missile" in the recent Beijing parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. This hypersonic (10 times the speed of sound) missile is supposedly capable of wiping out an American aircraft carried in a trice ... with no American counter-measures currently available  ... see: U.S. Naval Institute Article. Now aren't we tingly glad that the Obama administration has effectively defunded our anti-missile research?

There is a solution however. Perhaps if Obama were to bow one more time to the Chinese president, Xi Jinping?
