Maureen Dowd's latest column had the predictable expressions of both Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Worship Disorder. But at the end Ms. Dowd's screed had an incredible claim. Barack Obama is Mr. Spock.
"Speaking of the Enterprise, Mr. Obama has a bit of Mr. Spock in him (and not just the funny ears). He has a Vulcan-like logic and detachment. Any mere mortal who had to tell liberals that our obligations in Iraq and Afghanistan are far from over and tell Republicans that he has a $3.6 trillion budget would probably have tears running down his face."
One can just imagine the "real" Mr. Spock, raising his eyebrow in a kind of puzzlement, upon reading that paragraph. There is detachment in Mr. Obama, to be sure, but logic? Only by a tortured, north eastern liberal establishment definition of the same could what Mr. Obama is trying to do can be considered logical.
Obama's strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan makes sense, as it is just about the same as George W. Bush's. The only difference is that President Bush would not have announced in advance the date of an American withdraw from Iraq. It may not matter, as Al Qaeda is thoroughly whipped, no thanks to Barack Obama, but it is not a—er—logical strategy to tell one's opponent what one is going to do unless one's opponent can do nothing about it.
But the $3.6 trillion is about as far from logical as one can imagine. Barack Obama proposes to create at least three new massive government spending programs, tax the rich, cut back spending on military weapons in the middle of a war, and—here's the kicker—cut the deficit in half by four years. One can imagine Mr. Spock's reaction to that proposal.

He's Dumbo the Flying Effalent! (Purposely avoiding the use of ELEPHANT.)
He more like the planet killer thing
Mr. Spock was second in command.....Obi-the-wan is just #2.
Effluent would work.
I always thought Obama looks like Tuvok, the African-Vulcan science officer on Voyager.
More like Obamulan
With a few tweaks to the constitution, a little here, a little there.....
He will approach near Absolute Power.
The beast is rising.
That's EFFLUENT, and there certainly is enough of it flying.......off of the rotating turbine.
I have seen it!!!!!
Nope. He's President Skroob. Emanuel is Dark Helmet. Hillie is Col. Sandurz. And they're surrounded by...well, you know.
He's detached alright, but not in a logical manner, more in a elitist mindset.
Too bad he can't be more like Spock at the end Wrath of Khan.
Heck the Globe Gossip rag said Bush was being controlled by spacealiens! Maybe Obumma IS the space alien?
So Maureen Dowd is joining the ranks of those who don’t think Obama was born in the USA?
‘Cause what you got is what we need and all we do is dirty deeds
We’re the Spaceballs! Watch out, ‘cause we’re the Spaceballs
Proof’s in the pudding.
He’s Apophis.
And Dowd misses completely why.
Bush would keep a withrdrawal date secret if it would save the life of 1 soldier.
Obama? He really could care less.
Obama conseqiently is not my president, and never will be.
He’s a lightworker all right! He is only capable of VERY light work, like signing his name to insane bills written by other people and reading teleprompters.
