Obama, a Science Buff, Is Washington's Mr. Spock (Did I read this right?)

He shows a fascination with science, an all-too deliberate decision-making demeanor, an adherence to logic and some pretty, ahem, prominent ears.

They all add up to a quite logical conclusion, at least for "Star Trek" fans: Barack Obama is Washington's Mr. Spock, the chief science officer for the ship of state.

"I guess it's somewhat unusual for a politician to be so precise, logical, in his thought process," actor Leonard Nimoy, who has portrayed Spock for more than 40 years, told The Associated Press in an e-mail interview. "The comparison to Spock is, in my opinion, a compliment to him and to the character."

Obama knows about as much about science as he does economics, which is not much.

This worship of a third-rate politician with limited experience and constant reminders of his incompetence is disturbing. I would not trust Obama with taking a road atlas and plotting a highway trip across country--I don't think he is enough of a problem solver. He probably cannot even read maps--a surprising number of people cannot.

Well, I do know the Vulcan Death Grip, which the "real" Mister Spock used just the one time, as a performance piece to fool the Romulan chick, but he was under the mistaken impression that it doesn't work...
