Obama to NASA: I want to know about Martians right away..

In a phone call with the team that brought Curiosity to a successful landing on Mars, President Obama is very clear that Martians, should they exist, would be a top priority.

With the Olympics still in midstride, and with the arrival of the always exciting NFL exhibition games, you might perhaps have missed that a spacecraft landed on Mars a few days ago to express our human curiosity.

President Obama, however, has made it very clear that, should little beings be found out there, they will immediately become his top priority.

Indeed, in a phone call today with the Curiosity team, the President revealed that the first question he is being asked about the mission is whether Martians have already been found.

One can imagine that, even if they had been found, it is unlikely that the President would say: "Oh, sure. They're coming the White House for tea next week."

But, in praising the work of all those who were part of the Curiosity rover project, the President was keen to make them understand that he would not sit idly by, should otherworldly life be found.

He probably will want the Martians registered to vote right away.

NASA should do the world a favor and offer zer0 a ride on the next launch. Would be fun to hear zer0 scream.

Remember in ‘96 how Clinton and the media trumpeted the fake martian microbes in a meteorite ad nauseum in an attempt to get conservative Christians to doubt their faith?

Barack could simplify this a lot if he would just phone home.

When he loses in November, he can be Ambassador to Mars.

The Zero is running out of aliens to bow to.

What a nincompoop!

They are already registered to vote. He either wants to tax them or offer them a bailout, or put them on the dole under some government program for aliens.

No I don’t remember that, however that sure was ridiculous!

More moochers? More illegal voters? More short people?

I thought Kucinich was already a Democrat(ic)?

Martians are supporting Romney-Ryan 90%, 10% undecided or some other candidate.

Barack Obama: "Where is your god now?!!!"

Just what we need, some martian microbe running rampant on Earth that we have no biological defense mechanism against.
