"The needs of The One outweigh the needs of the many. Or in fact everybody"

I'm not sure what's more offensive: CBC Newsworld's gushing over Obama's Notre-Dame controversy yesterday, or the laughable "Obama and Spock" meme that Newsweek is desperately trying to put across. (emphasis mine)

President Barack Obama said in a report Sunday that he saw the new "Star Trek" film recently -- and not just because it was last week's top-grossing movie.

"Everybody was saying I was Spock," said the US leader, known to have a wonkish command of the minutiae of policy -- not unlike the dispassionate movie Vulcan to whom he has been compared.

Newsweek gushed however that Obama's version of the character would be "Spock with global sex appeal."

The latest in the "Star Trek" sci-fi franchise beamed up to the top of the North American box office last weekend, but slipped this week to second place.

Fortunately some of the more Trek-knowledgeable commentators were able to put this laughable comparison into context:

Typical racist Democrats seizing on the fact that Spock was only half-human on his mother's side.

Yea, but we KNOW where Spock was born

Hmmm, maybe there is a connection here. Spock is moved via [teleporter]; Obama is told what to say via teleprompter...!

I always thought of Obama as like a Vorta, not a Vulcan. (Remember the Vorta from DS9) The Vorta were the middle managers of the Dominion, who commanded the Jem Haddar. They had enormous and very sensitive ears, and were bred for their skill in diplomacy, deception, and intrigue. They could hatch plots within plots within plots, and keep everything straight for their Changeling masters. Everything Obama has done both before and after the election tells me that he is like a Vorta.

The Vorta answered to the Changelings. Who does Obama answer to?

The problem with the comparison is Vulcans don't lie....

I like the comparison. Obama talks as smugly as Spock about human inconsistency, acting as if he is somehow above it all. He had the nerve today to lecture conservatives to keep the dialogue honorable while his followers and minions of his party push for jail terms for those in the previous administration with whom they disagree. And also lecturing conservatives about economic justice while he and his fellow liberals don't hold a candle to conservatives in donating to the needy. AND, THEY DON'T PAY THEIR TAXES or their nannies as we have seen from the last two "progressive" administrations.
