"Obama is the logical Spock" I've seen like every TOS episode and movie. I don't recall virtually every other word Spock said being "uh." It certainly didn't go "The, uh, needs of, uh, the many, uh, outweigh, the, uh, needs of, uh, the few. Uh." Also, Spock would've been smart enough to avoid matters like Scare Force One, deciding to close Gitmo without having a plan for the remaining inmates, out of control spending, etc. "VP Biden is compared to D. McCoy" Eesh. McCoy definitely had a habit of shooting his mouth off like Biden, but (unlike the VP) what the old country doctor said usually made sense, was coherent and was intelligent. Really, if we wanna go for actual comparisons... Obama is clearly DS9's Rom - big ears, big stupidity that undermines whatever skills he is purported to have. Biden is Sybok - someone that says stupid things and has a knack for being on the wrong side. Gibbs is a Borg drone - does what he's told and doesn't have a thought of his own in his head. Geithner is con man Harry Mudd without the humor. I don't know Bernanke well enough to make a comparison (though he sure as heck ain't no Scotty). As for Axelrod, well, there is no Trek character I feel is deserving of the insult of being compared to that hack. And I'm tempted to pair Clinton and Kirk for obvious reasons, but the joke is too obvious. It’s sad that someone got paid to write this crap.

“Obama is the logical Spock”

I’ve seen like every TOS episode and movie. I don’t recall virtually every other word Spock said being “uh.” It certainly didn’t go “The, uh, needs of, uh, the many, uh, outweigh, the, uh, needs of, uh, the few. Uh.”

Also, Spock would’ve been smart enough to avoid matters like Scare Force One, deciding to close Gitmo without having a plan for the remaining inmates, out of control spending, etc.

“VP Biden is compared to D. McCoy”

Eesh. McCoy definitely had a habit of shooting his mouth off like Biden, but (unlike the VP) what the old country doctor said usually made sense, was coherent and was intelligent.

Really, if we wanna go for actual comparisons…

Obama is clearly DS9’s Rom – big ears, big stupidity that undermines whatever skills he is purported to have.
Biden is Sybok – someone that says stupid things and has a knack for being on the wrong side.
Gibbs is a Borg drone – does what he’s told and doesn’t have a thought of his own in his head.
Geithner is con man Harry Mudd without the humor.
I don’t know Bernanke well enough to make a comparison (though he sure as heck ain’t no Scotty). As for Axelrod, well, there is no Trek character I feel is deserving of the insult of being compared to that hack. And I’m tempted to pair Clinton and Kirk for obvious reasons, but the joke is too obvious.

If Obama is second in command doesn't that mean that someone else is really in control? Let's rack our brains and come up with the Captain to whom our second in command Spockobama owes his chair to? Captain George Soros comes to mind. As for Colin Powell, a more apt character would be Jar Jar Binks. Hans Solo was way cooler frozen than Colin Powell has ever been in real life. As for Obama being Mr. Spock, SPOCK NEVER LIED and certainly did not make up mathematical figures that had nothing to do with reality. Obama's tangential relationship with truth and integrity place him at 180 with Spock. In fact Obama is much more like Sybok, Spock's half brother in Star Trek V, a utopian lying dreamer who nearly gets everyone killed and is an unmitigated disaster.
