  • Well I hope this time around someone christens it.

    I have to agree though that if they do not repeat the mistakes of the first one and approach the whole thing with a more humble approach it should be fine.

    The only issue I have is the cost and if it would be better serve, serving others who are in need unless he plans to use for charitable things in the future.

  • The interior's Edwardian design should be replicated as well, that's what made the ship what it was.
    With today's know-how modern mechanics, navigation and safety features could still be added with not to much change.

    I'd love to sail on any replica ship from that era.

    • I'd be on that ship in a heartbeat. Not being superstitious, I have no fear over the name. Build it to a proper standard, staff it better than the Costa Concordia, what's the problem. Like Paden, I think if it were really built to accurately reflect the look and feel of the Titanic, it would be a beautiful ship.

      • Eepphhh...I dunno, I don't think it's only superstition that should keep the name retired, although I admit I'd have mixed feelings about stepping aboard her. But then, I'm a superstitious sailor from way back, and understand that ships really are people too.

        Anyone familiar with a brilliant computer game from several years back, "Starship Titanic"? By Douglas Adams ("Hitchchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"), it's a graphic adventure type game, where you are the sole human being aboard a gorgeously rendered, Art Deco luxury liner spaceship. The robotic crew (of very colorful characters) have all lost their senses ("I do have my lucid moments. I just wish I knew if this was one of them."), and you are trying to get everyone straightened out again. Oh, and stopping the bomb from going off. And dealing with a VERY annoying, screechy parrot (who sounds suspiciously like a Monty Python character!).

  • The --- S.S Obama , it has a nice ring to it . Load all the paria on it , 2 by 2 . Since most of them can't count properly 200 by 200 would suit most of our fancies . Add a bunch of OWS loafers , to urinate all over the deck , to give it that home alley smell . Throw in as many illegals , there for the ride , so no one can say its unfair .

    If we let the ship head off to some exotic port , say Mombasa , Kenya , then air lift say another 200,000+ , all on a (W)in (T)he (F)uture cruise to support the chosen one , most real American would pay willingly and dearly to make this happen .

    Crushing debt , piled on by the chosen one's party . Lots and lots of losers there so they don't have to work ( some other person is going to pay for this , right ? ) . On the path to the fantasy land , all power with unicorn farts , with the chosen one to guide them !!!

    Yes , The S.S. Obama and the S.S.Titanic have SO MUCH in common .
