Trekkie in chief wants screening (Where no barf has gone before)

President Barack Obama gets hailed by supporters as a transformational, visionary leader. But can he boldly go where no man has gone before?

Possibly: POLITICO hears from several sources that the President has asked Paramount Pictures for his own screening of the new "Star Trek" film in the White House.

The White House request could just be an attempt by the president to stay on top of pop culture by watching this box office bonanza — but could there be more to it?

Consider: Comparisons between the enigmatic president and "Star Trek’s" Mr. Spock have become a media meme of late.

Salon: “Obama Is Spock: It’s Quite Logical”

Newsweek: “Spock’s cool, analytical nature feels more fascinating and topical than ever now that we’ve put a sort of Vulcan in the White House.”

There’s even an Obama “Spock” action figure.

Obama IS Spock.

Both have big ears.

Both are aliens.

Both of them have no clue as to reality.

Neither were born in the US.

That Salon piece went beyond the usual thoroughly corrupt Media blindly following it's marching orders from the Propaganda Bureau. It was a paen of homosexual craving.

“In this case, the good of the One outways the good of the many.”

And, if universal health care pushes through no one will live long, which is good, because no one will prosper either.

I have your images blocked, so can’t see them, but no doubt that whatever you posted is your usual junior high level nonsense.

i just wrote something horrible and just could not post it. it was hilarious. i'd like to remain a member of this forum, though.

all i will say is that "Spock" is dangerously close to another word.
