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

Albert Gore Jr. doesn’t know s*** from shinola. He’s just the most high profile frontman the GW hoaxers could get.

The only thing is even half way competent at is talking.
Actually not to accomplished since he has to use a teleprompter and becomes totally confused if it breaks.

This is aimed at the sight and sound audience. The 18 to 25 year olds.
But for that group, you need to know that Spock had sex every 8 (EIGHT) years.

Enough said.

I think their argument that Obama is a science geek is a little weak. He does not display the curiosity or openness to new (technical) ideas that are basic to the personality type.

He’s just so flocking awesome. I just want to hug America when I hear about the awesomeness of The Dear Leader Obama.

Oh yeah, and I’m sure Spock Obama is deeply troubled by climategate and is going to get to the bottom of it before committing the US to an idiotic treaty based on fraudulent science.

If we are using Star Trek analogies; I could compare Mr Obama most closely to a Tribble.

Or, perhaps, he is kind of like Dr. Richard Daystrom, only he thinks our lives can be run wholly by a wise bureaucracy instead of a wise machine.

0bama has high verbal aptitudes. He is severely lacking in science and scientific style logic. He’s demagoguing AGW and robbery via cap n trade so he is anti-science

Obama is the opposite of a technical and scientific mind. I doubt he has any mechanical inclination or ever took things apart to see how they worked. He looks like a pansy who never got his hands greasy working on an automobile

Thank You. You just confirmed the Propaganda aspect of this piece.
He lacks the characteristics of a real scientist.
GW/CC “scientist” are more his speed.

I should have stressed that fascination does not equal aptitude or competence.

Science buff, eh? I wonder, if we look at his transcripts, did he even take calculus or physics? I’ll bet not.

Obama already did ‘Scotty’ when he re-engineered Detroit. Jury is still ‘out’ on that one.

FWIW, I think the Indonesian schools are pretty big on science and math.

Perhaps, except:
1. He was only there through elementary school.
2. Didn’t he attend a madrassa (religious school)?

I find it more than a coincidence that this politico article that was posted here yesterday specifically mentions this. http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20091130/pl_politico/29993.

Once more:
They are NOTHING alike.

Spock was intelligent and knew who his father was;

0bama is a marxist idiot and has no clue who his father was.
