Well, Bush did have some "good ideas"...

... one of them being military tribunals.

Cue the chorus of "Wait 'til he does something..."

Cue the chorus of "He's only been President thirty days...."

Cue the chorus of "He's only been President sixty days...."

Cue the chorus of "He's got a lot on his plate..."

Cue the chorus of.... What's the current chorus? One forgets after awhile.

Are we at "too close to the midterms" yet? n/t

Ya gotta love it.

And if you don't, you're just a bitter old PUMA.

JFK has been shot, we miss him a lot

New one: "He's our Spock!"

The 11-dimensional chess lives!

Seriously, as a Trekkie, this hurts:

Spock would never do this. Or help loot the Treasury, let alone threaten to endanger Social Security, to favor the banksters. Or fail to push for Single Payer. Or refuse to ensure no one is above the law.

He's too skinny to be Tuvok; sure that's no Romulan? N/T

Of course he's fitted with the Spock meme.

They've been headed that way since the campaign.

See here:

And, here:

President Obama has drawn not-infrequent comparisons to the Spock character. Do you see any similarities there?

I’ve met him twice. The first time was a couple years ago, very early on when he had just announced his candidacy. He was in Los Angeles, speaking at a luncheon we were invited to. There was a very small crowd — minuscule compared to the crowd that he gathered later — at a private home in Los Angeles. And we were standing on the back patio, waiting for him. And he came through the house, saw me and immediately put his hand up in the Vulcan gesture. He said, “They told me you were here.” We had a wonderful brief conversation and I said, “It would be logical if you would become president.”

If you want to market a president as the second coming of Jack Kennedy, and a franchise exists that places Camelot in outer space, why would you reinvent the wheel? Like I said, the same marketing strategies worked for both campaigns...

And, as for social justice concerns, *Nimoy* back in the way back marched with Chavez, but times change, and marketing campaigns work.

Sorry, I don't fall in love with politicians. I'm not that desperate.....
