He's enough of a fan that The Onion has made a running gag of his geekiness.
Obama wants a white house screening?
- Thread starter Data Holmes
- Start date
But the president wouldn't say it if it weren't his sentiments as well.
Yeah, I watched a documentary about Ian Fleming and they mentioned that his books weren't that popular in the U.S. until Kennedy made that comment.
was there ever a sisko/dax kiss? that would have been great. "I love you, old man."
In "Through the Looking Glass", if I'm not mistaken.
Obama's the only politician on there with actual comic timing, you guys lucked out
Yeah, I'm not getting the GWB thing. Did he have it rebuilt or refurbished or something? Presidents have been screening movies, many of them early, for aloooong time.
Since we are in the topic of Obama and Trek...
Trekmovie should send a interview request to the White House and ask if Mr. President would have 15 minutes to spare for an interview. They could do it via email or something. Would be very cool...
ZOMG, MR ROCKSTART PRESIDENT!!!! TELL US WHAT YOU TINK OF TEH TREK!!!!!!!
Whatever

Now for the Ubergeek response:
Nope... the kiss (actually the sex) was between Sisko and the unjoined alt. Universe Jadzia. There would be no reason to call her old man because she was never joined to the Dax symbiont.
Nah, he has to save those passes for people that talk during the screening.
Just so long as Obama doesn't put on pointy ears and hold a special press conference on opening day...
Obama will be attending the screen in his full Star Trek Captain's Uniform, complete with toy phaser and tricorder. And so will everyone else...by official presidential decree.
I just hope the President can restrain himself from posting a bunch of spoilers on the internet.
Whoops, you're right. I stand corrected. The only other possible I could think of off the top of my head was "Facets", but that encounter was decidedly un-kissy, as I recall.
Is anyone else thinking about that episode of The West Wing right now?

Oh hey, be fair now. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were both known for being movie buffs, and reporters were openly invited to ask them film questions. Star Wars, Back to the Future, Dirty Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. etc. etc...
If John McCain were a Trekkie and he won in 2008, it would be perfectly reasonable for someone to ask the same questions on this thread. He's had cameos in many films, and if "24" (a show that McCain was most definitely in) was turned into a film, anybody would be free to ask him his thoughts. It's not far-fetched.
Rock Star President indeed.
I saw an interview with President Obama where they (Jay Leno?) talked about being in "the bubble" of presidential security. He talked about not being able to go to a movie theater, but the White House can request any movie they want from the MPAA so it has its perks.
He doesn't need a pass for that. Someone's cell phone rings, all Obama has to yell is "He's got a gun!"

Why shouldn't we be interested in what he thinks? We even read your posts.
President Obama actually writes many of his own speeches.
