Beam me up, Yoda: Obama flubs 'Star Trek' term By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
WASHINGTON (AP) — He's not a dictator and won't entertain the idea of a "Jedi mind-meld" with opponents. There's no "secret formula or special sauce" he can slip foes to make them see things his way. And not to worry, he says, the situation may look dire but won't be an "apocalypse." So who was the guy in a suit and tie who showed up Friday in the White House briefing room, mixing metaphors and references to "Star Wars" and "Star Trek"? "I am not a dictator. I'm the president," Barack Obama declared as he rejected the idea of using Secret Service agents to keep lawmakers from leaving until everyone agreed on a budget. He answered reporters' questions shortly after an inconclusive, 52-minute meeting with the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate. "So ultimately, if (Senate Minority leader) Mitch McConnell or (House Speaker) John Boehner say, 'We need to go to catch a plane,' I can't have Secret Service block the doorway. Right?" Even if he did bar his office — the oval one — Obama said he wouldn't do a "Jedi mind-meld" with Congress' top two Republicans to persuade them "to do what's right."

He didn’t grow up here. What cultural references he got came later in life. Just like his “walk with Christianity”.
Phony as a three dollah bill.
Did you mean the Fed? Bernanke is bothered.
Bingo! What 50 year old AMERICAN doesn’t know that it’s “beam me up Scottie?!”
He is only trying to undo the mind meld applied by Bush. But he will need another several terms because it is hard work.
A Vulcan would say that it racist!
Yoda never met a Vulcan, they were two imaginations apart.
ROFLAO! That is funny. You couldn’t work in a Battle Star Galactica reference?
That’s exactly what it is, EXACTLY. This is exactly what you get from foreigners. They get mixed up with different things that come out of the US. I use to drive a taxi about 5 years ago in New York city when I was unemployed, and all day long I would be driving tourists from just about every country on earth, and allll day long it was one mix up after another, combining one thing with another. “I like the Steve Allen who made Annie Hall” or “John Wayne in the Rambo” huh? what? or “Times square in Harlem” Uh say what? This freakin’ putz just gave himself away AGAIN!
LOL!
We win every time he has to answer questions, which is why he never does.
Those who voted for him are useless idiots.

Famous veterinarian quote....
What’s scary is not only that a reporter make that statement but that most of the reporters in the room agreed with her. And half of the idiots who voted in the last election want him to be a dictator. It’s just that some of them don’t really know what a dictator is. Hey, if Sean Pean can hang out with dictators they can’t be all that bad.
Merry New Year!
Obama is a poser in every sense of the word, starting with his birth certificate.
read the entire article... or watch the vid clip... too funny...
