Obama Appears At Star Trek Convention

OBAMA/

The Second Son of God made a surprise appearance at a Star Trek convention in St. Louis Missouri over the weekend.  For the most part his eminence simply stood and nodded his head repeatedly.  He did make a brief speech between appearances of George Takei, the first openly gay Trek star, and Armin Shimerman, the first Trek star to request Federal funding to bail out his restaurant chain Quarks!  In his brief and unenlightening speech the President said,

"I have always been a Trekkie at heart.  Star Trek was one of the first TV series to cast an African American in a pivotal role.  I can't recall who it was or what the character did.  But I did hear she got a lip lock from the Captain.  I know that must have inspired my parents.  Only I was already born by then so what did it matter really?"
