Obama, a Science Buff, Is Washington's Mr. Spock

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.

I like tribbles.
But they did engorge themselves on the Ships food supply.

I was thinking more along the lines of the nasty wormlike thing that Khan put in Mr. Checkovs head.

Stupid AP. Typical liberals. They're too dumb to realize how dumb they really are.

Oboma says what he thinks people want to hear, and nothing more. If he's talking to the elderly, he offers retirement bliss. If he's talking to children, he offers unlimited government toys. When he's talking to reporters, he offers them big words and long sentences to print, and the idiots fall for it every time.

So far, Oboma hasn't done one thing right. Not one thing. The AP still hasn't figured that out yet. They're still waiting for him to tell them what to write.

“Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.”

So AP is reading others work (Harris) and making up stories to help the ZERO.

NO one gets to see HIS transcropts ...or Birth Cert.

NO one gets to see HIS transcripts ...or Birth Cert.

And Spock was never given affirmative action simply because he was a Vulcan. He earned his position.

[SpaceBar]

He smoked grass to take the edge off, and a little blow when he could afford it. No junk though. That’s the extent of his school activities we are allowed to be aware of.

[TexasFreeper2009]

wow... when your black all you have to do is watch star trek and not be capable of making a decision to be thought of as a thoughtful science buff.

[Marty62]

What they left out was the analogy of Spook refusing to accept his MOTHERS humanesss. Always embraced his FATHERS hard, cold, UNemotional characteristic.
HUMMMMM...fascinating.

[When do we get liberated?]

I was thinking of the episode “Who Mourns For Obama?”

Lets see if anyone gets that one...

[Marty62]

oops I meant SPOCK

NAUSEATING!!

If any article ever required a MegaBarf Alert, this is it. A few gems...

• "I guess it's somewhat unusual for a politician to be so precise, logical, in his thought process," [said] actor Leonard Nimoy...
• ... it's the science content of the presidential agenda that have the geeks insisting he's gone where no nerd has gone before.
• Obama was a lawyer, organizer and author before he turned politician. So his interest in science wasn't as obvious until he reached the White House. Now, privately he's known to relish the ability to call smart people, especially scientists, to come to the White House to talk about their fields. The more obscure and complicated the field, the better to feed the inner science geek.
• Out in public, Obama turns the Bunsen burner up a notch, playing a combination of high school science teacher and math team cheerleader...

Obama is a complete ignoramus with NO real world experience or capability in anything -- economics, capitalism, science, engineering, diplomacy, you name it. A law degree and "organizing" background doesn't qualify you for anything. Without any foundational education or background, you simply do not have the critical elements needed to make sound decisions.

There was some criticism of Obama likening him to Spock for the iciness of his character last week. Now the AP has taken that analogy and turned it around to describe him as logical and intelligent.
It is the sort of thing that a parent might do to a child if the child were called a name to explain the good qualities that might be associated with that name.
The AP is trying to protect Obama, but it just loses more and more of its credibility each time it tries to create a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

No, the reason TOTUS is last to laugh at a joke is because he didn’t get it in the first place. Movie stars and most democrat politicians can at least learn their lines, and deliver them with a few takes. TOTUS, apparently, lacks the drive and ability to learn the lines and since he uses the Ralph Norton delivery for every speach, a teleprompter seems to suffice. Who is Dr. Strangelove is the question not who is Mr. Spock?

[Manic_Episode]

Highly illogical.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Tribbles for me for the Obama analogy.
Tribbles are light, fluffy, and they don't have much substance. And people thought they looked cute.

[Marty62]

Well yes..WE no that.
But I wonder if the Scientist are flattered that HE is considered one of THEM??????

At least we know he is one of the GW/CC types. Lying about data. Falsifing data. He fits with that bunch.

‘Barf me up, Sotty.’

[When do we get liberated?]

That explains why he was Kirk’s wingman. I could never figure that out. Who would go chick hopping around the universe with a guy that is faster than you, stronger than you, taller than you, smarter than you, posseses supernatural powers and is a poet?

[ElayneJ]

There is NOTHING in obama’s background to suggest he’s a “science buff” or that he is “logical” at all. Why doesn’t just one MSM reporter stand up and say so? Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins? (never mind...)

[Marty62]

FR is the Woodward and Bernstein of today.
Except we have thousands of minds dissecting the characteristics and actions of the POTUS.
