Obama a closet Trekkie?

[kay1864]

Obama stood off-stage at the Des Moines Historical Society Museum in Iowa. He had wanted to go back to the state of his first great triumph to give a speech unofficially kicking off the fall campaign, even though Clinton officially was still in the race.

"That's an interesting belt buckle," he said to Michelle, mischievously. She feigned offense and said, "I am interesting, next to you. Surprise, surprise, a blue suit, a white shirt and a tie."

Obama grinned and bent down until he was almost at eye level with her waist. He jabbed a playful finger toward her belt buckle, and let loose his inner nerd. "The lithium crystals! Beam me up, Scotty!" Obama squeaked, laughing at his own lame joke as Michelle rolled her eyes.

5. I don't believe it

I didn't think there was any look that wouldn't work on him. I was wrong. Oy.

3. It could be that Obama got it right and the reporter translated it wrong.

MSM journalists aren't particularly good at fact checking, after all.

Fascinating read.
