There is a small discussion going on about that on a Navy forum i belong to.  Pretty much echos what is said here.  What a waste of a perfectly good ship.

Well, maybe the ship will be able to rise above the legacy of it's namesake and redeem it's name, even though it cannot salavage the man.

What is also sad is that one day there will be a ship named in honor of Obama (aircraft carrier?).

Yes but Obama would be a fitting name for an aircraft carrier. USS Obama, Destroyer of Nations.  :'(

If he is, it'll be one of these!

The CVN 21 Program is the future aircraft carrier replacement program for USS Enterprise and CVN 68, or Nimitz class aircraft carriers. Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) was ordered from Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding Newport News on Sept. 10, 2008, and is scheduled to be delivered in 2015. The Gerald R. Ford Class will be the premier forward asset for crisis response and early decisive striking power in a major combat operation. Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carriers and carrier strike groups will provide the core capabilities of forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, maritime security and humanitarian assistance. The class brings improved warfighting capability, quality of life improvements for our Sailors and reduced acquisition and life cycle costs.
