The Obama reviews "Star Trek"

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Here.

Now, movies I've been doing OK [with] because it turns out we got this nice theater on the ground floor of my house ... So Star Trek, we saw this weekend, which I thought was good. Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out and-[the president makes the Vulcan salute with his hand].

Very good.

Yes, absolutely.


Did you watch that when you were growing up?

I used to love Star Trek. You know, Star Trek was ahead of its time. There was a whole-the special effects weren't real good, but the storylines were always evocative, you know, there was a little commentary and a little pop philosophy for a 10-year-old to absorb.


A lot of U.N. stuff.

Yes, exactly, right.

(Cue a few sour responses)

I read that article today. We have such a cool President.

 

[Borgminister]

Get out the message to the masses! GO SEE THE MOVIE.

 

[indranee]

I was wondering when he'd see it

so he's heard about all the Spock comparisons

 

[miraclefan]

What can I say? Hmmmm 'A lot of U.N. stuff.' Really? so does that make KIRK the big bad AMERICAN saying screw you U.F.P. security council! I'm going to go all cowboy on the Klingon's ASS'S?

Star Trek... I thought was good.
- President Barack Obama


Forget Ebert... they should put that in the next trailer!

Even though he's probably going to end up bankrupting us, our last president and this one really suck as far as what they've done for the country, but that's for a different discussion.

I am glad the president agrees with me.

 

[Cyrus]

That's very cool. Is this the first positive review Trek movies have gotten from a president? I think Reagan gave ST3 a thumbs down.

 

[T'Bonz]

Glad he enjoyed it, but he's *not* Spock.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

No, he's cooler and less easily rattled than Spock.

 

[Similitude]

Obamarama rocking the house.

 

[urbandk]

No, he's cooler and less easily rattled than Spock.

No emotionally compromised Obama.

 

[indranee]

except Hillary. she used to get him a leeetle rattled every once in a while

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

"You're likeable enough, Nero."

 

[MvRojo]

Why is he referred to as "The Obama"?

 

[indranee]

because he's The One.

 

[miraclefan]

Why is he referred to as "The Obama"?

Because he is the Obama? unless there's another Obama running around.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Why is he referred to as "The Obama"?

It's an old joke - some of us in TNZ who were accused during the campaign of being "Ozombies" and the like took to referring to him tongue-in-cheek in various ways suggestive of exalting him.
