...Obama said he wouldn't do a "Jedi mind-meld" with Congress' top two Republicans to persuade them "to do what's right."

Yoda-quoting nerds, Beltway insiders and even Hollywood heroes were instantly abuzz. The presidential mishmash of sci-fi references went viral, turning off geeks who had considered Obama one of their own after a slip of the tongue that was almost as bad as confusing Klingons and Ewoks, or even Democrats and Republicans.

Jedi are from "Star Wars," while mind melds happened on "Star Trek."

Mister Spock of "Star Trek" weighed in....

ET phone home?

Quote
Barack Obama took a shot at another Republican leader today, only this one can't respond since he's dead. But as it turns out, he doesn't need to. Obama knocked Rutherford B. Hayes, referencing the 19th president as an example of the GOP's history of "looking backwards." Obama cited Hayes' quote about the telephone -- "It's a great invention but who would ever want to use one?" -- and remarked "That's why he's not on Mount Rushmore." Ouch. Only Hayes never said it. A curator at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center said the quote, whose origins are unknown, is often wrongly attributed to Hayes. In fact, he was the first president to have a telephone in the White House.

But it's worst than that if BHO is starting to read SA's vintage Photoshopped page: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/collectible-plates.php?page=17
